Hot Weekend

It is HOT here this summer. Super humid. Not fun to be outside. On Thursday we went to a friend’s house to play in water. It was fun, but even the kids were done being outside after an hour. I will take dry heat any day over this. Thank goodness for AC. Friday we went to a Japanes festival that wasn’t too far from base. But, it was HOT. When we were leaving I checked the temperature and we had a heat index of 105. And there isn’t much of a breeze walking in Japanese urban areas. No wonder we were so hot and tired and not hungry. Emma just wanted anything cold. Today were exhausted and decided to stay inside. Steven was at work, but Emma and I played with Paris most of the day. We colored, played a new card game, ate lunch, and watched Pioneer Woman. I think Paris likes to come over here and do girl things. There are only boys in her house right now. Emma likes it, too. It works out for everyone. 

On a side note, our weather has not been all bad. Last night we had a real thunderstorm!!!! You have no idea how excited I was. It just kind of popped up on top of us and so we had some pretty close lightning strikes, lots of loud thunder and good rain. We agreed with our neighbor that it was better than the typhoon. There were even power outages on base, not for too long though. I tried to take a video, but the cicadas steak loud you can barely hear anything. (If it’s not posted then check back,  I will post the videos tomorrow.) watch till the end...or fast forward to the end. 

Our friends set up swings on thei porch. The baby swing was the favorite. 

Running through the sprinkler.

You know, just kitty and caticorn.

Emma loved the decorations at the festival.

Eating her shaved ice.

Float

Yokota had a float

HOT. Early sun. And another typhoon on the way.

These were a hit Papa Steve! 

Playing the new card game...it involves spelling words and adding pints up. Both of them need practice on both.
