Playground fun

I have to say today was a great day...why you might ask...because of the above. For the first time all summer we were able to go back to the park and play outside without it being 105+ degrees outside and miserable. I was so excited to get up this morning and hear it was going to be overcast and the high was going to be under 100 degrees!!!! I have waited for that all summer long! I am not a big heat lover (in fact I cannot stand it) and after months of cabin fever it felt great to get out and play again. Ethan and I took off this morning and headed to one of the cool neighborhood parks and hung out playing and running around. It was fun seeing him slide down the slides and climb up the ladders again all the while with a big smile on his face. I didn't even mind all the mud he got caked on his shoes and all over his clothes. I cannot wait for summer to be over and for the cooler weather to head on back! We love getting outside and today was a small glimmer of hope that might not be too far in the distant future...oh how I pray! Some may say there is nothing like fun in the sun...but for us there is nothing like a day at the park!

I agree, the summer needs to be over (something you would NEVER hear me say in Utah) but the "off" seasons are so wonderful here :) As you know, I love you and think you are WONDERFUL and INSPIRED. Thanks for all you do.

Amen sister! This is the time of year when I have to remind myself about that many things that I love about Arizona. We have had a serious case of cabin fever around here. Yeah for days like today!

Wasn't it a great day?!? I wanted to get to the park in the am, but didn't. Hopefully it starts cooling off SOON!

Umm...I keep telling you - the best remedy from that AZ heat is a trip up to CO!! :o) I'm glad you had a day without 100+ temps! I'm sure cooler weather is just around the corner. Yay!
