We scheduled our Lake Anna house rental several months ago. Little did we know, we would be vacationing during the hottest week of the year. The first four days were comfortable and fun, and we were able to fish and swim and hang out together outside, but by Thursday, it was hot, hot, HOT and such a bummer. The lake temperature was 99.5 degress (Mom measured with a thermometer), not even a little refreshing, and outside was over 100 with high humidity. Outside was out of the question.
Without the great outdoors to entertain us, Jessie and I set up an arts and crafts table in the basement for some indoor fun for the kids. By Thursday afternoon, the air conditioning was having a hard time keeping the upstairs of the house under 80 degrees, and from there things went downhill. I'll just leave it at that.
Here are some pictures from before the big heat wave:

On our way out of town, we stopped to feed the fish at Anna Point Marina as Uncle Josh had suggested. It was fun, but holy cow were we hot! When we got back to Northern Virginia, my car measured the temperature outside at 107, and I think I read the heat index at National Airport was over 120 that day.

I can't even count how many swim suits the girls have and each one is cuter than the last!
