It's Too Hot!

Okay, so we've spent almost every day playing in the sprinklers. But we can't even play outside until after dinner usually, because during the day it's too hot. I mean, like over 100 degrees hot! Right now, at 7pm, it's 101 degrees, so we won't even go outside tonight. The air is so thick, it makes it feel like you can't even breathe!
For the days where evening time finds itself in the 90's, we turn on the $10 sprinkler and the kids have a blast. Gabie cries and throws tantrums to play in the sprinkler, so we've concluded that it's virtually useless to spend tons of money on pools and trips to waterparks. If the kids can continue to have this much fun with a $10 sprinkler IN OKLAHOMA'S SUMMER, than kids anywhere don't need a ton of money either, right?!
Pray for us, that we won't need to spend another summer down here! I really hope it doesn't get any hotter than this, although I've heard rumors of 115! Tomorrow's high is supposed to be around 106, with a heat index of over 110 I think. Oh well! In the meantime, we'll be thankful for the blessings we have to get us through this weather, like air conditioning (in the house, unfortunately not in the vehicles!), water, homemade strawberry yogurt popsicles, and a yard to play in!
