Hot hot spring

Ok, so let me preface this by saying that I am glad not to have to worry if it's going to snow in the middle of June anymore (though let it be clear that there are a million things I miss about Utah, the weather, not being one of them)...HOWEVER , the heat in this state, might be more than what my sanity can take at times! It is SO HOT and it has been since pretty much end of April. I am glad that we have had some sort of break this last week (some cool nice mid-70's throughout the week) but taking 100 degree weather on almost 100% humidity is just too much. And then you factor a very hyper child that just wants to be outdoors and you have either a very sweaty and miserable mother, or a very unhappy claustrophobic, but fresh-cool toddler. Our activities the last month have been refrained to water fountains in malls, pools, or just parks at very early in the morning (before it is impossibly hot at 10 am)

Antes de empezar quiero dejar claro que me alegra estar en un lugar donde no tenga que preocuparme de si va a nevar a mediados de junio (como en Utah- que para que quede claro, echo de menos muchas cosas de Utah, pero el clima no es una de ellas)PERO el calorazo que hace en Virginia tal vez sea mas de lo que pueda aguantar. Que calor que hace!! Y lleva haciendo este calor incansable desde abril. Me alegro de que por lo menos esta semana haya hecho algo mas de fresquito( 20 y pico grados) Pero esque los casi 40 grados de calor humedo a mas no poder es demasiado para mi cordura. Y si a eso le sumas una niña hiperactiva que lo unico que quiere hacer es salir a la calle pues te encuentras o bien con una madre sudando como una cerda y miserable, o una hija claustrofobica-histerica pero fresquita. Asi que a lo que nos hemos dedicado este mes pasado han sido actividades relacionadas con agua de alguna manera u otra. Fuentes en centros comerciales, piscinas, o columpios demasiado temprano por la mañana, antes de que el sol te derrita a las diez.

She is soo cute! I love her hair! I guess I better be more grateful for this cool summer we have been having. The mountains are still snow-packed & I don't think it has gotten above 80 yet. Aitana sounds like Maeva... ALWAYS WANTS TO BE OUTSIDE!!! :)
