HOT, HOT, HOT!

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year and possibly the hottest day of several years here in Wiesbaden. According to weather.com, the average high is only about 75 and yesterday's high was 95! We used the heat (and welcome invitation from Kathrin) as an opportunity to experience a German pool for the first time (and first pool experience period for Michaela). The pool was VERY crowded as it seems everyone in town had the same idea since it was so hot, and they don't believe in A/C around here. The water was very cold compared to the air temp so Michaela didn't like the water much, but she loved watching all the big kids running, swimming, and splashing. And believe me, those German kids do all those things BIG (they aren't really disciplined). Michaela did very well considering the amount of splashing going on. The first pic below shows the bigger girls loving on Michaela. The second one is only added so you can get a sense for how busy it was there, and the last shows my sweety conked out in the midst of the craziness. It was fun!
