Aquaboggin

We’ve been doing a lot of touristy fun summer things in the past week. On Friday we hit Aquaboggin to beat the heat. I worked a few hours in the morning and then headed home to pick Alec up from school and meet Courtney and Leo at the park. This was the day Portland hit 100%. I couldn’t decide if we were really smart for going or really stupid because it could be crazy busy and crowded. We got lucky. It was not crowded.

Leo was much happier here than at the ocean.

And this is where the pictures end. Not because we were having so much fun that I didn’t bother to take pictures but because they closed. They lost power and since they didn’t know when it would be restored they had to close the entire park. Apparently you need electricity to run the pumps for the slides and the water filters. Go figure. So on the hottest day of the year we were booted out. Bummer. But we did get free passes to come back another day.

In a strange twist it actually worked in our favor.  We went back to our house so Alec and Leo could play in air conditioning.  A little while later, Alec spiked one of his mysterious high fevers (103.5) and headache. And then we saw this:

About 14 hours of sleep and a few doses of drugs and he was back to normal. I can’t even imagine how sick he might have felt if we had stayed all day!
