Hot, Hot, Hot

We all know it's been hot (and dry) this summer. When I left work on Friday, the temperature reading on the van was 103. When I got home, this is how Ryan and Adam had decided to beat the heat:

That night, we headed to one of my co-worker's houses for a department party. Although we sweated buckets, we had lots of good food and and fun. There are so many young kids in our department and Ryan is starting to find his way when playing with new friends. When it got dark, a few of the guys put on the most outrageous amateur fireworks show I'd ever seen. The "Grand Finale" required 2 people to carry it out to the driveway!  Ryan wasn't as keen on these since they were a little "up close and personal".
