Braving the Heat

The girls are getting stir crazy in all this heat, so I decided to head over to the cool playground behind the Rowlett community center. It's called, Kid's Kingdom, and has all sorts of nooks and crannies. The girls had a lot of fun together.

We played as long as we could stand it and then I suggested that we take a walk on the VERY SHADY fitness trail around the community center. We didn't get too far, but we did find a dead cicada that we stopped to look at. The sound from live ones was deafening in the trees above us, so it was particularly interesting to show the girls what kind of bug was making the noise.
