Escaping the Heat

Today was day 3 of  a heatwave, and the temperature reached 41 degrees Celsius or about 106 Fahrenheit. Yesterday the temperature reached nearly 46 degrees Celsius or about 115 Fahrenheit and the next couple of day are set to be around the same temperature.

We have so far escaped the heat with going to the water park and beach on Monday. We went to the movies to watch Frozen, which was a great Disney movie, and the movie theatre was air-conditioned and then last night we again headed down to another beach not far from our house, so we could take the dogs for their first swim at the beach.

Sunset and it looks like storm clouds
Today I decided to have a quieter day so all we have done today is relax and watch some movies. But tonight I decided it was time to set up our pool that my parents gave us last year. It is an easy to set up pool, all that I had to do was inflate the top ring and then when the pool is filled with water it stands up. It took about an hour and a half to fill up but it was a fun way to cool down at the end of the day.

With about two more days left of the heatwave I can leave the pool set up and we can enjoy it in the days to come. I'm just a little bummed that I have to work at the school holiday program tomorrow afternoon but at least we will be in air-conditioning, the temperature is expected to be 39 degrees or 102 Fahrenheit tomorrow and Friday it will be in the 40's again. I'm am not really a fan of the heat so I will be glad when this heatwave ends
