Swimming in the Heat

Life in the Midwest has been blistering hot as of late. Sure, the official temperature may not have hit the century mark, but when you combine it with dew points in the 70's, you've got sticky, oppressive "feels-like" temperatures that soar to 115°! What do you do? You head to the lake! And "buoy" was it fun! We soaked in the sun at our favorite beach at Clinton Lake (about 45 minutes and a 40 cent toll each way on I-70). We picnicked, helped Tyson improve his swimming, partied with the college kids,... and did our best to keep sand out of our swimming suits. We failed.
