Beat the Heat, Vol. 4

Dance in the rain.

Having a rainbow helps too.

Make sure that you are barefoot for maximum cooling, enjoyment, and condemnation from other parents.

Declare yourself bathed for the day... wait, who are we kidding here, make that for the week.

Shye LOVES rain, just like her momma. One of the few redeeming things of AZ (besides the awesome sunsets and the 50 year drivers licenses) is the summer monsoon season. Those late summer storms are positively divine after several months of 100+ temperatures. As kids we would always play in the rain and go puddle jumping. It's something I still want to do every time it's raining but I'm afraid of looking like a fool.  That's where having a kid comes in handy: I get to do all the immature, fun, kiddie stuff and pretend like I'm doing it for her. 

Happy Friday!
