We are on our way back from picking up the kids in Missouri. This is the last visit I'll have with them this summer before they go back to school.
Both of their birthdays are coming up soon. My son will be 13 and daughter will be 6. They are great kids and usually always well behaved. Having them down to visit is always fun.
Last time they were down we went down to the river to swim. There is a nice sandy area on the nearby river we like to visit.
We went fishing one morning but didn't get one bite. The hiking trails are a bit overgrown right now and it's just been so hot! I can't believe it was 108 yesterday in Oklahoma.
I hope this week with the kids isn't so incredibly hot. I've been struggling to keep the garden and grass watered. You can tell it's really starting to get brown in some spots.
We have seen several broken down cars on the side of the road. I also make sure to do preventive maintenance on the vehicles before we drive so far. You don't want to get stuck out in this heat.
Thanks for reading my brief report on our road trip and stay cool on this hot summer day!
