I think summer is finally here!!

Anyone who knows me knows I need a minimum of 80 degrees to feel warm and it has only reached that like twice here. I was so excited to see that we are reaching upper 80's this week and then when it hit, I quickly realized that 70 degree weather is probably more comfortable for our house. (no a/c or ceiling fans!!) It was so hot in the house, the only other alternative to napping the day away in a pool of your own sweat while trying to wake from what feels like a comatose induced sleep, was to set up the slip in slide. It was no match to our solar heated pool last year but a bargain deal at Target!!! I took it to UT and tried it out with my friend's kids and the girls had a lot of fun. Ben wouldn't get in because it was too cold. The hose we were using there was irrigation water which I believe is basically snow melt, so it was FREEZING. I don't blame him. It was much warmer here. Amelia had a blast sliding on her butt and army crawling through it and then crap crawling through it. It was almost like she had a work out routine of different moves she had to complete down the slide. Ben sat on the sidelines for the first hour, deciding if he really wanted to get wet.

For some reason telling him he could get his rubber duckies from the bath and put them on the slip in slide was a total deal changer. I think little kids in water of any kind is the cutest.

The best is seeing them all wrapped up in what they call "bear towels". This is them pretending to be bears and growling at each other.

Enjoy keeping cool where you are!!
