4th of July

I had a few days off around the 4th of July so my mom and dad came for a visit!  Like in the rest of the midwest, it was HOT.  Like ridiculous, over the top, sweltering hot hot hot.  It really was a bummer though because it kind of put a damper on our plans, we couldn't do anything outside really.  But it was still a really fun time together and it was so good to spend time with my parents.

This is at the fire works, it was still 100 degrees at 9:30pm.  Brad and Jessie came with us too!

Poor Josie did not like the heat either, she had to have some Gatorade to cool off :)

We went to the beach on Thursday, it was a great day to go to the beach.  It was SO hot in-land, but it felt great on the beach.  There was a nice breeze and the water was so refreshing (i.e. freezing cold but felt good since it was SO hot).  Driving back from the beach the thermometer in the car read 110 degrees.....are you kidding me?!

Our garden is definitely doing well despite the heat!  The corn is far more than 'knee high by the 4th of July'!  We just harvested our first cucumber yesterday.  I LOVE fresh veggies from our garden.
