My Little Izzle : Documenting the Everyday in a Spectacular way: It's getting hot in here. So take off all your clothes.

These past few weeks have made me think of those lyrics often. Sweaty, sticky, eew.

Crazy. This past weekend most certainly warranted those song lyrics. Not the song, just those lyrics.
Friday night we had an intense storm pass through, crazy intense. Our power went off at around 10pm. No biggie, right? Not for the first night. As we all got up for the day to survey the damage outside, we quickly realized that our apartment was the same temperature as the muggy, toasty outdoors. Gross.
So we thought, "Hey, why don't we spend the day in Richmond, walking around in air conditioned places, and come back after dinner, our power will surely be restored by then ... ".
Man, we thought wrong. We came back at around 7pm to find our complex empty and dark and waaaarm.
I politely suggested to Joshua that we get a hotel room for the night so his pregnant wife could get at least a little sleep. After driving to every hotel in Fxburg, we quickly found out that they were ALL booked due to a swarm of people from up north scrambling down here to find room and board after their hotels were without power. Yay for a northern invasion. Ugh.
We then thought, "Hey, I bet Richmond has vacancies, lets go there for the night!"
Wrong. Again.
After driving around for most of the day and then sleeping in our 85 degree home, the next day we woke up nice and sweaty, a tad cranky, really thirsty, but very thankful that our car had AC that kept us cool for most of the previous hot & miserable day.
Our power came back on on Sunday morning at 5:45am. How do I know the exact time? I had been awake since 3am, rolling around in my own sweat, praying for a cooler day. Prayer answered!
I am, however, very thankful our power was out for only that short time. Some people are still without power, and not expected to get power back until this Sunday. Over.A.Week.In.This.Heat. Yikes.

We had yet another day over 100 degrees, but still ventured out for the fourth!

Little Lady Liberty!

Trying to get Izabella to try the water tent ...

She ended up loving it and getting soaking wet!

Joshua and Izabella waiting for the trolley, and sweating, a lot.

This post is a little, (a lot) later that I wanted, but, here are some pictures from our PA family vacation to see Joshua's parents and siblings and Izabella's cousins!
