Bring it

Dear Arizona Summer,

Bring it on, I'm ready.

*I've got ice packs in the freezer waiting to be placed in the car seat covers while we are at the grocery store.
*I've also got a freezer full of ice cubes waiting to go into the kiddie pool when it feels like a hot tub.
*The kids are stocked with hats, and we have multiple bottles of sunscreen in the house, in the car, and wherever else we may need them.
*We have picked our list for kids activities that take place in nice, cold, air-conditioned buildings (which includes the cultural hall at Daddy's work - can't wait!).
*I have my "cool foods for a hot day" recipes all together.
*We are stocked up on Otter Pops.
*We have not one, but two trips to Utah planned for the summer.
*We finally have a car with decent air-conditioning.

Those things, added to the fact that I am truly acclimating to the heat, not pregnant, and am learning to love the desert, make me able to say: Bring on the heat! The stifling 120 degree days! The melted shoes, plastic, or basically anything else I leave out in the sun! The feeling of a hot blow-dryer in your face as you walk outside into the dead of night and expect a nice cool breeze!

So let's take this out to the flag pole! I'm not afraid!!!
