Bring on the Heat!

Q: How do we stay cool when temps reach triple digits for over a week?
A: We Don't!
You won't hear any complaining (at least from me) about temperatures at this time of the year--at least as long as the air conditioning in my home and car work (hee hee). I just have to get up a little earlier to go running and we try and hit the river a little more often at this point in time.
Some reasons why I love the heat:
We go camping and pack light! Actually the kids spent two nights camping in the backyard before our recent camping trip with our ward at church (more on that later). We also eat lots of ice cream--Dairy Queen loves us, I'm sure!
We play hard and sleep hard. Something about the outdoors, water and sun wears us out!

I cook very little because we're not that hungry so we end up grilling a lot and eating more fresh fruits (Hermiston melon time) and veggies--the corn from the garden tastes yummy this year!

Note to self: Come back and read this post in January :)
