When it's SO hot outside

Unlike other states in this nation, we spend our cool winter days outdoors, enjoying the weather. In the summer, when its SO hot you can hardly stand to be outside, we have to find other creative ways to have fun and keep cool, like...

Eating ice creamPlaying in air conditioned arcades
Find a comfy spot in the shadePlay in the sinkObviously, LOTS of swimming
And always a good hose down

Speaking of hot, when we moved to AZ, I thought for sure there would be no reason to hang on to our snow clothes, but on the off-chance we might need them we kept them. It turns out, my snowboard helmet has been put to good use afterall:
Dallen wanted desperately* to wear a helmet when he rides his bike, just like Elmo (*and by desperately I mean threw a HUGE tantrum when I didn’t buy him an 8 year old helmet at the store)!! Luckily we found this, and he was plenty happy to wear Mom's gigantic old helmet.

Dallen is sooooo cute in any weather! (:
I thought of you a bunch while we were in California, and how on earth did you ever leave! It was so beautiful there!
p.s. I got your text. I agree that Noelle looks like Abby from Sesame Street.

Way to get creative! He is so cute and I love his helmet! Siena is obsessed with the abby/elmo tricycle episode of sesame street too so they will have to wear their helmets together and go on a bike ride together:) The ice cream picture might be my favorite though!
