that time we went camping in july in the middle of texas and in tents...

oy vey! that was a pretty hot weekend ☼ i'm still trying to catalog it in the back of my head in hopes of forgetting how miserably hot it was and how i was denied any kind of a wifi network...
but check it out ►►► the boys? they loved it. can you tell by their crumb-filled freckled faces? perfect days for little boys...

oh texas. how i love you. i do. but if your weather could be a little more like Cali's, i don't think i would EVER wish to leave you...so please, cool off a little, mkay?
we spent three days at Lake Whitney. we were present for a relative's low key wedding on that lake, and turns out, Jonah turned four that weekend too.

pretty much, the only way to cool off was to get into the water. you had to trek about half a mile to get there too. wet flip flops while carrying a 5 month old was not an ideal situation. not to mention that if anyone touches me while i'm a hot, sweaty & beautiful mess, you will die.

lucky for us my in-laws have a boat. that was fun :)

andrew loves taking the wheel and jonah loves the tube....

there really wasn't much to do except for drinking blue powerade and lounge around until the heat puts you to sleep.

and we sorta celebrated Jonah's 4th birthday with melted cupcakes...those were a yummy mess. i was totally unprepared mentally for the heat, much less a party. but I loved the way he embraced every.single.ring! he wanted everyone to have one. he even wore them all over his little tiny sticky fingers...it was pretty ew.

and Elena decided she was ready to literally dive into a hotdog...please don't judge me.

it was so bloody hot, it feels like that's all what's left to say.

but i'll leave you with the cutest imagery of a lil' hot potato who will melt your heart and not your underwear....how do potatoes melt your underwear? I have no idea...just roll with it.
