This summer has been a scorcher......

...SERIOUSLY! Just know that the housing on base does NOT have A/C. The powers that be say that it does not get hot enough for long enough AND the power needs can't be met if everyone has A/C.

Really? So for the past 2 summers it wasn't really a big deal for us. THIS SUMMER WAS DIFFERENT! Last week it got to 100 degrees -- 3 times last week....with 84% humidity AND we live on the 5th floor of a 9 floor tower. 7 fans in the house......all the windows open and it was still deadly!

Thankfully, the Lord provided and we were allowed to house sit for dear friends that were out of town for the summer (fellow teachers) and they keep their A/C on because of their caged pets. (you all that know me -- REALLY know that I don't get down with animals AT ALL)

We (Elijah and I) spent EVERY free moment over there (Eddie is still in Okinawa for training)!

This is how Elijah spent MOST days this summer............... on a trampoline!


Now let's kick it up a notch with the addition of water balloons and water hose!

We call it "Avoid the Water Balloons" game. Hey, it's FREE fun, he loved it and he stayed cool!
Elijah after he came inside...soaking wet and H.A.P.P.Y!!!
