I really can't remember where exactly you live, but I live in Fort Worth, TX and you are so right...it has been so hot so early. However, this morning we have some clouds and up a little north around Denton they are getting RAIN. I remember the days of kids and water hoses and the interesting things my kids could think to do....I'm not sure, but think they played slip and slide...maybe before it was invented. :) We have gotten a couple of really good watermelons this year and I so love them. Keep cool and enjoy your children while they are there at home with you.
