Summer Fun!

So are we having fun yet?

For us in SE Wisconsin, summer has been beautiful... especially the last 4-5 days. Bridget & Jason, I really feel for you guys. I just saw Bridget's post on Facebook, which prompted me to pull up the weather forecast for Phoenix, AZ.

Wow, you guys are really getting cooked. I had gotten an e-mail from my friend Katie in Scottsdale and she was saying on Friday is was 114 and nobody is going golfing (which is source of income) because it is just too darn hot. Then I look at the 10 day forecast and you guys don't have a high below 100 for at least the next 10 days. The lows for the overnights are still in the 90's... that plum crazy!

I really feel for you. I remember the summer of 88 here and it was a cooker, we lived at the lake eating watermelon and freeze pops. Make sure you take care of your kiddos... I recommend sticking a damp t-shirt in the freezer before bed tonight so when you get up tomorrow, you can put on a nice frozen t-shirt to cool off. ♥

Brenda, I was waiting for you to post, but I'm more impatient than you. Over the weekend I went with Brenda & we met up with Brian at Brown's lake in Burlington. It was Ashlynn's first beach day and she loved it. I think she might be part mermaid Bren! LOL Anyhoo, I wanted to share a few of the pictures because we really did have a wonderful day. Brian took his jetski out so I got to help keep little fingers and curious feet within arms reach... which is a challenge when she's on a mission! We had a ball and hope you enjoy our pictures!

So dear WI family, when you say your bedtime prayers tonight for the beautiful weather we've been having and to cool it down out in Arizona.

What do you do at 2 a.m.?

What am I doing up at 2 a.m. I ask myself... I love this heat we've had for the past 2 days. I know many people really don't like it, but I think I was born to live in the juicy Florida climate. My whole body loves this. So what does get me up at this crazy hour???

My stomach is growling... seriously. You can stop laughing at me. I guess I should have had that snack before bedtime. Bummer, a little late now.

So is anybody else up with me? Is anybody out there? Probably not (you are all very wise). It was great seeing some of the family for Father's Day. We don't have family get togethers often enough.

The Riveria in Lake Geneva

For those I didn't see on Sunday, last week I sent Chris to summer camp... well not really. He has an annual golf trip he takes with 13 other guys up to the Wis. Dells. They rent a huge house on the Wisconsin River and play lots of golf Wed - Sunday. So while he was out of town this year, I had his niece Briana out to stay a few days with me. The highlight of Briana's stay was that I took her on the Mailboat Cruise on Lake Geneva. I hadn't taken that boat ride since Mom & Dad took us on that as kids... yes, many moons ago. :) So it was a treat to be able to share it with her.

The mail delivery kids actually have to jump off the boat while it is moving, deliver the mail to the dock mailbox, then back on the boat... and the boat never stops! Many a mail people have taken a swim in the past! :)

Stone Manor - now a 6 unit condo building, originally the largest single family home built on the lake. It has 7 livable floors with a rooftop pool! Nice!


What do you think for our next weekend gathering? These digs aren't too shabby. I just thought this home (especially the hammock) was super dreamy! :)

I wanted to share a few pics from our cruise and let you all know I love you! Stay cool in this heat, and please make sure to check on your neighbors & friends (especially the elderly or those with compromised health.) Share the love!

XOXO,
Dawn
