My mom, Sydney and Dagan

We went to the beach this morning.  We wanted to get out of the apartment before the temperature got really high.  My mom, the kids and I went to the beach. It was overcast, so we spent a few hours there.   Both kids used their boogie boards.  I tried it out, too.   It is rather fun.

Doesn't he make a good mermaid?

I am boogie boarding with Dagan.

We came home for lunch and decided to say indoors for the rest of the afternoon due to the heat.  Sydney and Dagan watched a movie with my dad.  My mom and I tried to sit outside on the balcony a few times, but it felt like a heater was blowing warm air on you.  It ended up being a high of 106 today.  It was a "cooker" in Adam's words.  This evening while we were watching the news we learned there were the most fires in Australia history burning today due to the heat and the highest temperatures across the continent on record.  It is a little scary.
