We have had no respite from this terrible heat wave. The fourth of July was another hot day in Tennessee. We had a high temperature of 105 degrees and it didn't get much cooler in the evening.
Jimmy was brave enough to barbecue, but we all ate inside since it was blazing hot outside. Amelia and Jennifer played in the sprinkler to cool off, but we were only able to handle being outside for about 30 minutes before heading back in.
In the evening, we went to the carnival and fireworks show at Fort Campbell. Despite the extreme heat and staying up more than 2 hours past their bedtime, the kids did very well. It was Amelia and Alex's first fireworks show and I will always remember it because of this heat wave!

Alex LOVED the fireworks! He was just chilling in the stroller and watching the show. (Doesn't he look like a little boy in this picture?)
This was Amelia's reaction to the fireworks. She got really scared and ran to hug Jennifer, myself, and Jimmy. Once she got to Jimmy, she stayed close to him and fell asleep about 3 minutes into the show.
