Wow! Is it hot! I don't remember a whole lot about Washington from living here as a kid, but I sure don't remember the heat being this bad. On our move out here, Chris told me that "it doesn't snow there, and when it does, it melts really quickly." When we drove into town, it was in the middle of a snow storm. He also mentioned that "the weather was always nice in the summer. There are maybe a few days that are a bit hot, but for the most part it's beautiful." Right now, it's 7 PM and it's still around 90 degrees. According to the weatherman, it's supposed to be close to 100 degrees all this week. I love to give him a hard time. The kids are not too happy with the heat either. They are having lots of fun with their sprinklers lately and occasionally playing in the neighbor's pool. They are also enjoying the popsicles.
We are all looking forward to Chris' time off of work. We are going to go down to Corvallis and visit some family down there while we assist in a "home makeover" for my grandparents to make things easier for them. Aside from that visit, we don't have a lot of plans. We are hoping to go camping, visit Mt. Rainer, and just have some fun spending time together. It's been a while since we have been able to spend more than a few hours together doing "family stuff" It will be so nice to have 2 full weeks!
Spending time with family is so important. I hope that everyone has the opportunity to get at least a few minutes a day to do so. You never know when family won't be around anymore, so take every moment you can and make the most of it.
Vacations are nice.
