Cow Appreciation Day!

We have had a HOT 2 days.... The hottest of the season so far.  It's the kind of heat that just makes you feel yucky and you can't breathe.  It's when you just walk out to the car and you're already dripping buckets.  So yesterday, with a heat index of 109° (🥵) it was too hot even for swimming.  Therefore, I was extra glad for Chik-Fil-A’s Cow Appreciation day and their indoor playground! #EatMorChikn #Moo

TODAY'S  heat was even WORSE. Ugh.  It was just disgusting.  I HATE our weather mid-July through mid-August.  It's unbearable!  That's why we always plan our trips to Idaho at the end of July/beginning of August so that we get a tiny break from the inferno temps we have in late Summer!  However, just when I had served all my kids ice-cold water to keep them from overheating, the sky suddenly opened up and we had a flash flood! Seriously, I was loading the dishwasher and suddenly I heard what sounded like hail. It's like the bottom just dropped. It took our temperatures from the hundreds to the high SEVENTIES within a matter of minutes.  The storm was NOT on our radar and we had a cloudless sky all morning!  Not sure the last time this has happened smack-dab in the middle of Summer, but it was like God heard my heart pleading for a break from the heat and delivered!  It was a hot rain so the kids ran out and played in it for a good 30 minutes.  Just thick sheets pounding down so hard and that's what we thought was hail at first.  I absolutely LOVE our pop-up storms.  We get a lot of them, but in the Summer they don't usually drop our heat index that much, so this one was just awesome.  

We went from 114 to 78 (which I didn't get a screen shot of) probably within 5 minutes.  It was awesomely insane!

And our lilies that we planted LAST year are finally opening up.  They're so pretty!

Next Week we go to IDAHO!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO- HOOO!!!!!!
