When summer came to visit with my nephews ~Day 1

My husband’s parents came to visit last week bringing my nephews with them and the heat…

We have had a pretty mild summer this year with just a few weeks of really hot weather but while they were here it was just HOT.

Everyone tried out the Slackline in our backyard before the day got too hot.

Since I have lived in Oklahoma so long I try to remember my “too hot” is not the same for everyone.

I can sit outside in the high 90’s and think “this is not too bad, kind of nice really”.

I recognize I am broken though…

I knew if we did anything outside it needed to involve water!

I like water pictures anyway.

Thankfully kids like water also.

I think they feel like they are being destructive and making a mess but they are not!

Win, win.

After you are wet the intense heat feels pretty good.

Popsicles help also.

We survived the whole week with four boys and hot days!

I might need a vacation though!

We did a lot!

I will be sharing more of what we did, this week.

I can’t fit it all into one post!

Working late

When I found out my husband would be working later than usual last night, I knew I could either sit and watch the seconds tick by or do something to kill a chunk of time.

We chose to kill some time.

We have been pretty mild this summer in Oklahoma but this week got hot.

When it is hot here I find water to be the only way to go when you want to go outside.

fun

Adding a sprinkler to their rope swing was a big hit last year so I knew they would enjoy it again.

What do you do when your husband is working late?
