Since most of you don't know this, I will share a little background from our trip to Texas LAST year. We left a few days after Joe graduated and came down to have fun in the sun on the beaches of the ocean (the boys had never seen the ocean before). Of course, last year was the year of RAIN here and in Oklahoma, so it rained almost the entire time we were here. We did swim in the rain a few times and went on our touristy adventures in the rain, but it did get old. And of course, as soon as we were back in Oklahoma, it dried up down here.
Well, they kept telling me this year that it was so dry down here. Texas was bordering on a drought and they probably wouldn't even be able to do fireworks because of the severe dryness around here.
Then we showed up.
I'm pretty sure it's rained a little bit at least every day that we've been here. It follows us too. If we go to the mall, it rains there and not at the house. It's sad, but true. I even heard the news anchors the other night talking about how amazing it was. It was the FIRST of July. They had already had more rain in the month of July than they had in the whole month of June! However, it's supposed to clear up this weekend. We are leaving town Saturday for Galveston/Houston. They have rain predictions for the next week....... Sad........
The rain does however cool the temperatures though. The afternoons here have been in the 101 to 105 area. This morning while it was raining, the outdoor thermometer got down to 75. It was nice!
I did have pity on Colton today and took him to the McDonald's with the big play place. He had a great time with his new "friends". I have to remember those days that I had a home daycare and would spend days with no adult interaction. It was pathetic when I got to see grown ups! So I guess I know how he feels to not be around children for a few days. I will keep this in mind.
Tomorrow is Corpus!
