Heat Wave

We hit the triple digits here in the NorthWest. This is a rare occasion for us. Even in the summer our highs might reach the 90's, but it's not very often that it stays for very long. But, for 2 weeks in July we were sweating away with the weather in the upper 90's and even hit record highs of almost 110 degrees!! Yuk!

Here is an example of the amount of liquids that my hubby had to take to work with him to stay hydrated (Don't worry, he washed and re-filled the bottles. The red ones are a Gatorade mix.). He drank all of these and the ones that customers gave him, poor guy doesn't have air conditioning in his truck for work.

When it first started to heat up around here, we got excited and hit the beach with our good friends the G6!

Sheree's twin brother and sister joined us. They were so good with the kids. O even let them bury him in the sand. His sis, decided to help bury him with the kids.

My youngest always stays right by my side. I just ♥ her for that!

We put up our little inflatable pool for the kiddos to cool off in.

As the days got hotter, we all stayed up late until it was cool enough to sleep. During the day the kids were just wiped out from the heat and lack of sleep.

We let the girls have sister sleepovers downstairs where it was much cooler. They loved this and didn't want to go back to their rooms when the weather cooled.

It was to hot to go outside so the kids played the Wii a bunch. Pay loves to do yoga on the Wii fit!

I had a headache for a couple of days from the Guitar Hero game. The kids love to play this and it must of course be played as loud as possible! Here is Kaylin and her friend Isa rockin' out!

We spent many of our days at our friends the H5 and D5 house's. The H5 have an in ground pool and invited us over to cool off.

The D5 live on a local lake, and the kids had a blast swimming and boating while keeping cool.

The kids were grumpy and hot and miserable at home, so we would head over to their houses in the afternoon.

Thank you sooooo much H5 and D5 for letting us hang with you guys! It made all the difference in the world! (I can't believe I don't have any pictures???)

We ended up buying an air-conditioner, because it was just to miserable to deal with the heat. It has finally cooled down here for awhile, even rained today a bit.

We still have a few weeks of summer left, and I want to enjoy every minute of it before the kids have to go back to school!
