Baby It's Hot in Here

We want to get our trips photos up. We really do. Unfortunately, there are just a few things working against us at this time:
  • We have a 4-year old.
  • We have a puppy that, unless constantly supervised, pees wherever and chews whatever.
  • It is regularly 110-115 degrees. Right now, at 8:30 p.m., it is 110 degrees outside and 86 degrees inside our house. 
  • We cannot take the puppy on walks because his paws would get burnt on the sidewalk. Potty breaks for the dog consist of running out to our sadly burnt grass, peeing quickly, and running back inside.
  • School starts back up on Monday.
To top it off, there are crickets in our air vents. It could be one, it could be ten, but what I do know is that those suckers are loud. 

Have we ever mentioned August is our least favorite month in Arizona? Followed by September.

Just a photo reminder that a little over a month ago we were very cold and huddled around a fire. (Photo taken at Yellowstone.) Ah well. Time to give the cat and dog some ice cubes to lick, pour a cold glass of beer, and lay in front of a fan.

Well, you guys must have put the camera on a log or rock or something. All three of you are there!! :0)

Your description of Roland and his changing your life made me smile. I'll bet he has, and I'll bet he's made you pull your hair out and laugh at the same time. Just remember he's a puppy and has a lot to learn. You know he loves you, I'll bet, because all you have to do is look at him or pet him or chase him or ANYTHING and he's in heaven. Dogs are like that . . . yeah, they are. Love you guys, try to stay cool, let's talk soon. Mom / Grandma Bug

Great pic. of the family and I just love that last paragraph... ending in "time to open a beer and lay in front of a fan." That could be true almost anywhere in the summer time but especially true for you in the blistering heat of AZ. My heart goes out to you. May the next couple of months go be quickly.
