July 4th Festivities

While experiencing one hell (no, seriously, Hell is probably not this hot) of a heat wave this last week, I tried to spend quick bursts of time outside and then retreating to the AC inside when I became a crank-ass.

We started out the week by heading to the Toledo Zoo to meet up with some other mommies.  I love this zoo!  Thankfully we got there early in the morning and left just before the golden orb in the sky began to try and melt us.

The 4th was spent inside for most of the day.  We had a long drive back from the zoo the night before and saw firework shows along the way so the boys were pretty tired.  That night we headed to our local spot for fireworks, cue melting again.

Thursday I got a little break from the heat and burned my wallet instead doing some retail therapy at the outlet mall. I earned myself some Gymbucks as well as used a little restraint from buying a Coach purse. I settled instead for a new wristlet.

Friday we sat viewed the Air Show from the comfort of our back yard since there were once again record breaking temps.  I was so glad we didn't pay for tickets to be on the tarmac.  I can't imagine how hot it had to be out there. Excuse the power lines, but those suckers fly fast!

The weekend then wrapped up with a cookout celebrating a friend's adoption of his wife's son.

Lots of people spent much of this week without power let alone Air Conditioning so I'm very thankful we escaped that as well as any severe storm damage.  I hope you all were just as fortunate. What did you spend the week doing?
