Well today we celebrate the countries Independence from England. As many of you know, we are from Ohio but now we live in Arizona, so we are unable to attend any family functions. Thus we left to our own creative thoughts and plans, which don't always go the way we intend for them to.
Today since we really have no family here we decided that we would spend the day at the zoo. Okay sounds good right? Uhhhh no !! It happens to be 110+ degrees outside and feels every degree of it. We went this morning at 11 am and by 2:30 pm we were all very pooped! My face is a tomato and I think that I am gonna die. The kids have recovered well. They had a blast going through the zoo looking at the animals and then there is a little water park, well fountains that squirt from the ground that they played in. It was welcomed after the morning of the scorching Arizona sun. Apparently, the Arizona sun is hotter than the sun everywhere else? And for all of you back east that says, but it is a dry heat, are on CRACK! Hot is HOT no matter what! Yes, the humidity is relatively low, but since it is monsoon season here it has been up.

We got to see a little bit of what they call Monsoon out here last night. The sky is filled with a beautiful light show, followed with a brief shower, followed with more humidity and hotter temperatures. Fun stuff, sign me up!
But we are going to go see the fireworks tonight in Mesa. The kids are looking forward to it.
