Beating the heat

The kids and I went outside early this morning to beat the heat!  Olivia is getting better at riding her bike; we're hoping to eliminate the training wheels soon!  She loves to ride between our driveway and the neighbors' across the street.  Ben makes sure that Olivia "Stops, looks, and listens" before crossing the street.
Ben has a "big boy" bike, but he prefers to ride his tricycle.
Olivia got a hula hoop for her birthday from Ben; she has been practicing so she can be as good as her Uncle Tyler!
Olivia and Ben got Cubs shirts from their Aunt Angela and Uncle Tyler, who just got back from Chicago.  I knew Ben would want to wear his today, but I was surprised that Olivia chose to wear hers, too.  She usually wants to wear a dress---maybe her matching pink skirt had something to do with her choice. . . .
This is Ben's favorite player for the Cubs (for those of you who aren't  Cubs fans, it is not a phonetic pronunciation).  He likes to say, "My name is (Foo-ka-dome-ay)."

That aunt and uncle of Olivia and Ben's must be cool:) I must say they look adorable. . .Ben is destined for baseball greatness.

P.S. Olivia you look just like your mommy when she was a little girl.
