Just so ya’ll know, it does get cold here
That cold front that Chris sent down to us got here, and mama it was cold…..for at least 12 hours. Sunday morning it was some God awful temperature, like 38 degrees.
The palm trees were all “what’s up with this?”
Bill decided that, of all days, he was needing to get outside or he would go crazy from being cooped up for almost 12 hours (now you know why we could never ever live where that white stuff likes to hang out…I would kill him) So, we went to the beach.
We found that animals had literally frozen mid-step.**
The kids decided to take off their shoes and run in the water. Chris’ norther blew all the water in the Gulf of Mexico down to Kathy in the Yucatan, so it was very shallow.
By then it had warmed up to around 40, so Quinn only got about 3 shades of blue instead of 10.
Note that he is the one in SHORTS (and yes, he does have at least one pair of long pants). We had to get him back into the truck and blast him with the heater, while the rest of us (Cory) died because “the heat is killing us (Cory) Quinn, hurry up and get warm for crying out loud”.
Today things are somewhat back to normal, with the temperature almost at 60 as I type this.
We have become so acclimated to the warmth here, that we can now officially be labeled as Barbies when it comes to chilly weather.
Spoilt, rotten, coastal Barbies.
**no large-ass birds were harmed in the making of this post. He thawed and then ate a fish, and it was good.
I never told you this before, but I love your new format. I like the pictures BIG.
Are they, like, TOO big? I forgot about the dial-uppers that read here.
Love the shorts! My youngest two came down this morning all ready to go out … shirts, sweaters, jackets, shorts, and flip-flops … I managed to get them in pants but the sandals stayed. Beautiful pictures!
We need to get you beach bums to Colorado to enjoy a little of this “white stuff”. We’re skiing on Friday – the mountains have lots of it now. C’mon!
Love, Love, Love the new format, Jody!
You’re so funny, Jodi!
no not too big, perfectly big.
Shell! Send some of that white stuff on down to us!
The kids would LOVE to come up there and see some snow. They have seen snow once in their little lives…well, Cory has seen it twice, but he was only 3 months old at the time, so that doesn’t count.
