Summer is just plain hot...

Well summer is in full swing now. The days are near 100 degrees every day and the heat index typically surpasses that. Which makes it difficult to play outside without water. We keep the water hose, small pool, and friend's with pools close at hand. Mostly we're in "survive the summer" mode. Or at least I am. The heat doesn't seem to phase Fen at all. Even when we tell him it is hot and we need to go inside and his cheeks are flush red and his hairline is dripping with sweat...doesn't matter...the play must go on at this age and parents just have to suck it up and remember they were young too once and who wants to be cooped up inside all the time. Not to mention, rubbing your legs and belly all over with mud helps keep you cool. :) (No pictures of that mess, but I'm sure there will be more opportunities.)

Things to do inside on a hot-hot summer day

...messy fruit Popsicle with Memaw is another great way to endure the summer heat!
