Because it's Too Hot to do Anything...

Yesterday was the first day in weeks that J didn't have school. Despite summer vacation having started a week ago, he's been going daily (Saturdays and Sundays included) for band practice. Once the kids get in junior high you just don't see them anymore.


Since he had the day off, though, we decided to go to our special little river spot to cool off. It runs through a valley of green and tea fields.



We took the pup. This heat has been kicking his ass. He was dragging so bad the other day, he couldn't even muster the strength to bite the water that shot from the hose as I watered the flowers.


Here he is thanking J with a nose kiss.





He made some funny faces.


Is THAT a fish?


J loved his swimming eyes. The last several years he's never really gotten into the swimming thing. This time he dog paddled like a pro.

And here he is being a goof.


The thing we like best is when we pick him up and he continues to dog paddle.


His little feet just keep going.

After a couple hours Cha began to freak out. Is that thunder? Sure enough some dark clouds swept in from over the mountain. We decided to pack up and call it a day.

Thank goodness because half way down the road and the skies opened up.



And today everyone is sunburned and content.
