Happy July 24th!

T'was a warm day here in North Carolina, with a high of 100 and a low of 78. The guys on the radio said the "feels like" index was 113, but I'm not sure how they measure that. Is there a scientific way or is it someone's opinion? Personally, I figure once you pass 95 degrees it's OK to just say that it's hot and we need to find something to do in the shade and/or water. We're not even to August yet, which I hear is the hottest month. YAY for pools!! We've been to the pool three days out of seven, and I suspect will go even more this week. Wha-hoo!! I won't have pictures because I'm in the water the whole time, and I just don't trust that pool+camera would =good results.

Anyhow, back to the events of the 24th. We had a stake pioneer activity, with all sorts of old fashioned games. The kids made corn husk dolls first, had a watermelon seed spitting contest, and played some games. First off was the three-legged race (see video below), and the stick-pull (see below) and then the cow-pie toss. The cow pies were made of Great Stuff spray foam and brown spray paint, just like I made the hidden wonderland.
