It is so hot here now! Yesterday at six thirty in the evening my car thermometer read 100 degrees! I remember mom telling me stories about when they would drive long distances before air conditioning in the car and the drastic measures they took to stay cool. That’s crazy!

I love going to Orlando because there are so many things to do in Orlando! The last time we visited Orlando we spent a week there and ran of time before we ran out of things to do. First there are all the Disney parks to visit. I loved all the Disney parks. I think my favorite was the Disney MGM. It was awesome! I would like to go to Epcot again sometime. When we went it was pouring down rain and we got so wet we didn’t really enjoy it. I also liked all the Universal parks too. I think the Universal Studios was a little more high tech than the Disney MGM. The rides were really cool. I loved the Spiderman ride the best.

Bailey had a micro sd card in his Nintendo DS Lite… he says I lost it. Maybe I did. I think I used it in my camera with a converter and then replaced it with my memory card and it fell into the couch never to be found again. They are pretty small. But, they work with a lot of things like cell phones, and digital cameras. I guess I better find it… or maybe order another. They are pretty inexpensive.

So many people have boats, they take them to the lake summer after summer! It’s a family thing! Lots of families go boating together. I am planning to go boating with some friends sometime soon as well. One thing that is really troubling to me is the amount of people I see drinking out on the lake while they drive a boat! Boating Operating Under the Influence is illegal. I know in Arizona it is a Class one misdemeanor, same as driving a car under the influence. Please remember this summer to not drink and drive on the road or in the water and to be watchful for those who think they are invincible.

Last year Amanda was Tinkerbell… again! I think that is her favorite costume so far. Izzy was the most adorable little Minnie Mouse you’ve ever seen.  I like dressing the four of them up in a theme, like all Disney or all something that goes together.  One year they were all black eyed peas.  I painted one eye black and put a big P on their shirts.  They were cute!
