Nothing Says Summer Vacation Like 47 Degrees and Continuous Rain

Is it summer vacation? I really have my doubts. It's been freezing here with a day or two that's sunny and warm about once a week. If you don't get out and enjoy it you're screwed.

We had a Primary Activity at the Temple/ Temple grounds last week and, I kid you not, it was 47 degrees. The kids were doing an activity under the pavilion (making temples out of sugar cubes and glue) and their teeth were chattering. Check out Kameron in his SKI COAT for heaven's sake.

Luckily it was warm inside the Temple entry way...where they got to hear from the temple President and his wife and sing songs etc. My kids had a great time peaking through the glass doors and seeing the temple workers dressed in white.

Father's Day was ...cold with continuous rain yet again. Shocker. It put the damper (no pun intended) on some of our plans but we persevered.

Father's Day Dinner...we are a good looking group after Church. Everyone just pretty much changed into comfy clothes...if not jammies...and we stayed in them the rest of the day. Tyler requested Chicken Picatta for dinner and we also had Lemon Pasta for the vegetarians and roasted asparagus. It was good.

Then we decided to brave the rain and headed out to our deck. Luckily our big pine trees give us some shelter from the rain and we huddled around this to stay warm.


We had fun making peanut butter cup s'mores and telling funny stories about Tyler. What could be better on Father's Day right?

And if you can do it in jammies...even better. Right Ailey? I'm loving Tyler's socks and crazy look...especially because his shirt says "This is what a cool dad looks like". Ha!!

And just to be fair...and because honestly there just aren't enough heinous pictures of me on this blog...I add this beauty. You're welcome Tyler.

Happy Father's Day Tyler!! We love you!!

We are still waiting for three continuous days of sun so we can stain and seal our deck. We've had this baby sanded since before Memorial Day. Still waiting. All our nice patio furniture is still in hibernation in the garage. Who knows when it will emerge?

(FYI- Today is also a continual down pour and we, at around noon, are at a balmy 46 degrees. Jealous? Reilly started swim team today...at an outdoor pool...good thing it is heated. Brr. Kameron and Ailey have swim lessons tonight but at an indoor pool...thank goodness.)

Let's hear it for June or is it March? Woohoo!! Good times.
