Until about two weeks ago, temperatures in Seattle have been below normal for all of 2008. Being a native I don't really notice or care but the immigrants have been whining and whining.
Regardless, summer arrived with a bang last week. Saturday it was in the high 80's and Sunday in the 90's. This week it's cooler than that but still very pleasant summer weather.
Sunday we dealt with the heat by sticking close to home and letting the kids spend a lot of time in the kiddie pool. We had to put it on the front yard since the back yard is all dirt right now (until July 9th when we get instant grass!). The street in front of our house can get a little busy, but on video it sounds like surf!
This evening it was too late to put out the pool but the girls needed to cool off. So we put the sprinkler out and they had a great time.
I figured out why the swing set video I posted last week is so crappy. I just switched from Google Video to YouTube and the YouTube default is to format video for "mobile". Selecting a better output format makes all the difference. Enjoy.
