Sizzler!


We escaped to the mountains in search of cooler temperatures today. We have had five straight days of temperatures over 105 degrees--record-breaking heat, even for Australia! Even worse is the prediction of seven more days of 100+ degree heat to come! It literally feels like a brick oven outside. Today's high was 110! It was only 95 in the mountains today. So much for cooler temps...


Good thing we were at a beer festival today. Brett wasn't very impressed with the beer but at least it was cold!



Zach preferred his water. We were all wishing we could be back in the Indian Ocean about now...



Hard to believe it was only two weeks ago we were cooling off in the crystal blue waters.



Zach absolutely loved the ocean.



Ah. Life was a beach. Now it's a furnace!



It's so hot you could fry an emu egg on the pavement!!


For now we'll just have to settle for cooling off with popsicles (the flies love popsicles, too), taking in a dip in our friends' pool once the sun goes down, and swimming lessons, which start up again in three days.

Try to stay cool! The Indian Ocean pictures are amazing. We couldn't believe the pics of Brett and Zach in the water were taken in the ocean and not a swimming pool.
