109

109. That could be the number of many, many things but instead what that is was the temperature in my sister's backyard this afternoon. This is the Pacific Northwest people - this is CRAZY! The official temperature at the Sea-Tac airport was 103 which sets a record for the highest temperature on record ever. EVER.

And it was this week that the kids and I were here. Of all the luck. *sigh*

There has been so much sweating going on that I'm pretty sure we all should be showing evidence of weight loss. On fun thing we've done the past two nights is to make root beer floats and sit out under the big peach tree in the yard. They have stayed up on watering in the back yard (my brother in law has an incredible garden - both vegetables and flowers!) so the grass is green and soft and wonderfully cool to sit on. It's been a nice way to wind down the day.

Tomorrow I hear it is supposed to start cooling down. Only 99 or something ridiculous like that. Maybe it's time to dig out a sweater. :)
