Ice Cream for Dinner

I have a feeling that my two weeks in Salt Lake totally blew my efforts to acclimatize to the heat. I am not sure if that's the reason or the fact that it's 108* outside, but it's HOT!! For some reason in my mind I have had the thought that summer was pretty much over. I don't know if it's the back to school shopping signs or what it is, but I have been expecting a major cool down and soon! It's just not happening in fact I think it was hotter this week then it's been in a few weeks.

With all this heat poor Kylie and I have been cooped up in the house all week. We (well, probably mostly I) have no desire to go anywhere, but absolutely necessary places such as the store. I started feeling kind of bad about this yesterday, (the hottest day so far, might I add) but I promised Kylie we would take her to the Splash Park by the Tabernacle. Jeremy hadn't been there before and Kylie really likes it. We waited until about 5 and then went. It was a good time to go because there was hardly anybody there and actually it was a tiny bit overcast. Kylie had fun splashing around and climbing on the rocks. When she decided she was finished (or we asked her about 10 times if she was finished and we bribed her with ice cream) we took her to get ice cream for dinner. I think she thought this was probably the best idea we have ever come up with. Especially when we let her pick out the ice cream she wanted and handed her her very own cone.

It started out fairly innocent and she was doing pretty good with it...

Ice cream for dinner probably won't happen very often so we told her to enjoy it and by the end we had ice cream all over the table, all over the floor and all over her face. She loved it though!
