It was one of the hottest days on record -- one of the reasons we decided to go to the mountains today. I thought Kai would be dying in that long-sleeved, high-collared shirt and long pants, but decided to let him figure it out. We had plenty of sunblock and a pair of swim trunks in the car if he got really hot. It turned out he was the only one who got away moderately unscathed from the biting flies. I felt pretty silly and itchy in my shorts and t-shirt.
