Summertime Update

Our summer has been filled with rain, rain, and more rain, which makes it even more humid and almost unbearable when it isn't raining.  But when it rains here it isn't a light drizzle and then it's over.  It is the type of storm that has thunder that shakes your window panes, lightening that takes your breath away, wind that rips up your small little plants, and rain that quickly starts to flood and next thing you know there is a lake in your yard.  It goes as fast as it comes but when it is an everyday occurrence it can quickly get old.

These pictures are my pathetic attempts at trying to capture a storm.  They do it no justice.  After this storm one of my cute little mum plants was unearthed.  

We have made it to the beach a couple times but with it being high tourist season the traffic down there is insane and it makes going a little stressful.  

Chris has been rescuing his favorite reptile, the turtle, every chance he gets.  They are all over here and sadly are commonly found ran over on the road.  If we see one that may be alive he insists we stop, check to see if it is in need of help, and then proceed from there.  I don't mind.  They are awfully cute.

He brought this little guy home to show me the other day before he took him to a safe place to release him.  

And in between work we can usually be found doing something indoors.  It is way to hot to enjoy any outdoor activities.  

As of right now we are preparing for the road trip to Idaho.  We are so looking forward to some family and friend time. 

Well, that's it really.  Our last few weeks in a nutshell.  We will see you all soon.
