hottest in the nation...

So what do we do on a day like today when temps reach 103 degrees F, the hottest temp in the nation, the hottest temp here since since 1988, and the hottest June day since 1934?

First of all, we invite our cousins and puppy (who do not have central air) to come over.  And we stay inside all afternoon!

Then after supper, when the temps finally cool to 97 degrees F, we kick all the kids outside in their swimsuits to eat popsicles...

...and play (and drink big glasses of ice tea)...

...and play (and water crispy plants)...

 ...and play in the water!

(We certainly wouldn't serve chili for supper. :)
