hot hot hot

I really love summer. I love everything about summer... the hot weather, pool, flowers, shorts, flip flops, ice tea, smell of sunscreen, BBQ's, I love it all! I would rather be flaming hot then cold ANY day.... and could handle most levels of heat in the summer. As a kid we lived at the pool. No really, my hair turned green every summer because of it. If it were up to me, I would still live at the pool... but, it's not about just me anymore. ;) I have to worry about my little "whitey" who tends to melt in this summer heat. Jackson has his mom's love for the pool and summer fun, but the poor thing is a heater and has't build up the "campbell tolerance" of summer pool livin' yet.

Columbia is in the middle a week of hot hot hot weather, so we are trying to avoid sun strokes by finding indoor fun. We have already been to the library, watched nemo, made no-bake cookies (we don't need anymore heat in the house), read all the books we got from the library, made ice tea (jackson is a crazy kid and loves ice tea), and had a dance party. As I sit in the cool air conditioned apartment (trying not to think about how much our AC will cost this month), I can't help but dream about our vacation to Denver this past May. We went to visit some of my dearest friends from college, Hana and Jana. We had a wonderful time and the weather was absolutely perfect the whole time we were there. The kind of weather where the sun is nice and bright but the breeze is blowing to where you never get hot.... yup, perfection! We spent every second soaking up the breathless mountain views and the gorgeous days while we were there.

And of course... the boys went fishing too.

But we are not in denver, but back in hot and humid missouri! I am hoping for a break in the heat so we can get back outdoors and in the pool again! Wait... who needs a real pool anyways... when you can pretend to swim inside.

Anything is possible when you wear goggles!
