Help! We're melting!

It sure feels like it. It has ranged in the upper 102's here with the humidity just laying like a thick winter quilt on you. Late July and all of August are the most miserable months here in Louisiana. We hardly go outside from 10 am to 4pm! A walk to the mailbox brings on sweat where sweat is quite unwelcome! EWWWWW....

The pool is still down and we hope to have it up this weekend. The neighbors want to get dirt for their barn this week (unless Hurricane Dean dumps too much water in the next few days) and we're going to split the cost of the Bobcat. Works for both of us that way, so I hope Dean just passes himself on by. As much as the rain is needed, it just brings on more humidity...a double-edged sword really.

Yesterday evening the kids decided to cool off the way they used to before we had the pool, using the trampoline with the sprinkler underneath. Have you ever tried jumping on a wet trampoline? Man that's a workout! The mat gets so heavy.

So here they are having fun, though they still didn't stay out very long. Apparently it's even "too hot" to jump on a wet trampoline with the sprinkler going!

I love the shot of Little Man though. He is always asking Dad to 'cannonball' him. They both jump and then fall. If Little Man lands just right, he rockets back up to heights that sometimes scare me! He thinks it's great and just laughs hysterically! Drama Queen proceeded to do the front flips and toe touches. I got some great pics of those!
