The entire country was hit by a massive heat wave the week of the 4th. High temps in our area were in the mid-uppper 90s all week with high humidity. That didn’t make for very much fun doing anything outdoors – unless it was in the water!
Cory headed up north to his dad’s land to help build a garage on the 4th & 5th. The boys & I met my mom, sister & nephews down at the local splash pad to have some fun in the water. We arrived early, right away in the morning when it opened, to beat the heat of the day & the crowds.
The boys had a blast & stayed cool – a win-win!

After a BBQ lunch at my parents’ house, the boys & I headed home for naps.
I’d like to say that was the end of our quite day (the boys still go to bed quite early, so there were no fireworks in my 4th celebration this year); but it wasn’t. My parents were bringing pizza over to enjoy with the boys & I that evening, so that my dad could help me with an issue I had been having with my computer. The boys & I decided to make a quick trip to Target to pick up a couple things after naps. On our way home, my bad luck hit – a flat, rear tire. We were stranded on the freeway – two toddlers in tow closing in on dinner time, with temps in the 90s and my husband out of town. It could have been a lot worse, but my parents came to our rescue. My mom sat in the car & entertained the boys while I helped my Dad, with whatever I could, changing the tire out in the scorching heat. I can’t thank my parents enough for helping us out that afternoon. My dad was my lifesaver that day – thank you Dad; you’re the best!
