Beating the Texas Heat

A few nights ago we had an early dinner and then 

ventured up to church 

for me to take a class so I could volunteer.

Daddy took the kids to the playground across the street

during my class and everyone was super thirsty

when we left.

We had a couple of things to do on the way home, 

so we stopped at Sonic for some drinks.

R, noticed they had 1/2 price milkshakes after 8pm...

so we indulged!

We got the older boys one of their own,

then split one between the littles.

However,

the littles got pure ice cream...

when I opened it to split it into two cups...

it was just pure ice cream.

I tried to stir it the best I could to make it 

easier for them to eat,

but they were VERY impatient

and I got tired of listening to the complaints

so I handed 

the undrinkable milkshakes back to 

them.

I noticed a short time later, than T had taken 

the lid off and was using his straw as a spoon,

I was impressed with his logical thinking 

and turn back around and we continued our ride home.

Then I noticed how hot it was still outside...

and I took this picture of the temperature gauge on 

my rearview mirror.

This was the temperature at 9:07pm 

on June 11th.

I took this picture and sent it home to my parents 

and sisters...

I decided to take a quick peek at T to 

see how he was doing with is ice cream...

This is how we beat the late night heat in Texas!!!
