Early Morning Playdate

Last week, we met friends at a nearby park for a couple of early morning playdates. Everyone arrived at the park around 7:45 a.m. This was to get used to getting the kids ready and out of the house by the time their tardy bell will ring for kindergarten and to play at the park without suffering heat exhaustion. August 19th was day 65 of 100 degree and higher temperatures in Austin for 2011. By 10:00 a.m., we want to be inside in the air conditioning.
