We have been finding ways to stay cool since the heat has been so brutal lately. Our temps are usually in the 90s, but with the humidity, the heat index is usually around 105 daily. That means we end up having late afternoon thunderstorms, which do NOT cool things down. However, we have found ways to beat the heat. We visit the pool often (Will just finished 10 days of swimming lessons, which is why we went to celebrate with Menchies), and we have spent more time at the waterspouts. Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to Fountainebleu State Park and enjoyed some time in the sun. The oil spill has not crept into Lake Ponchartrain yet, so it was nice to enjoy the outdoors without the threat of tarballs. If we weren't neck-deep in water, we were inside enjoying family time. Jon and I have been working out together, and sometimes we have two little helpers who like to play with weights and tackle Daddy. In other news...Jon had the #1 spot for BPR scoring this month (the scoring for Operations Managers at Ferguson). We are very proud of Daddy! This week, we are busy at church for Vacation Bible School. I am one of the group leaders, Will is in my group, and Brighton spends her time in the church nursery, which she loves :) We have already had a very busy summer, and it's barely begun...soon enough we'll be planning our trip to VA!!!!!

Brighton's angry face after I told her she couldn't run off by herself...
It didn't keep her from running.
Anything to keep cool!
Brighton's angry face looks very similar to your "I live in a box under a bridge" face.
ReplyDeleteI will need to teach her that very soon!
