Keep in mind in Texas, we had 80 days of 100+ heat and are in one of the worst droughts the state has seen. Monday brought much needed relief with cooler dry air, but the winds have caused major wildfires in the area, so Labor Day meant no grilling.<br /><br />So yeah. The 78 minute summer would be bliss to me.<br /><br />Our winters usually make up for it.<br /><br />My favorite thing this summer was my first ever mommyvacation. I went to Calgary for six days - the furthest I could logically travel to escape the summer heat - and visited some awesome online friends. Without my children. <br /><br />It was amazing.Kelly K @ Dances with Chaoshttp://danceswithchaos.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948278860231126250.post-15108304445230997232011-09-06T19:21:07.043-07:002011-09-06T19:21:07.043-07:00Hurray for a great final weekend!
