Heat Wave and some pics from Danica's summer classes

Don't know if they have talked about our state but we have had a serious heat wave here for the past two days reaching the low 100's. This heat was making history in Washington State in our town and surrounding towns. Yea, I know we are all wimps here and we like it between 75 and 80 but nothing more. Most of us anyway. I lovvveee my State by the way. I think what really made it unbearable is that hardly anyone has air conditioning, including us because it is not a hot state, so its unnecessary. The last two days even the air conditiong went down in our court house and jail so we had to work in 90 degrees, really! We were allowed to go home but we would have had to use vacation time. My little ones are at camp this week and this weather hasn't bothered them at all. They such troopers. I guess now I really know for sure I will never ever live in a hot state, I just don't like it. Plus, I don't like sitting under air conditioning all day. I like breathing in real fresh air and not fake air.

In the mean time, my Danica is finally done with earning some summer credits. She went to Blakely Island near the San Juans and studied Marine Ecology. This time she had a really good time and made some cool friends. I guess I am saying this because while there they are secluded from the rest of the world with no telephones or anything so she got really home sick the last time. The pics below are from different people that were in class with Danica. I am just glad I finally have my baby home for 2 months. Ha, its not that her college is far away but she is still is my baby and I miss her when she is gone.

Isn't this crazy. Her teacher did this with his high speed camera and Danica spelled out her name. Don't ask me how. Can you see the girls...

Danica loves these kind of pics. She used to do gymnastics and ice skating.
Ha, and now she got all her friends hooked. They begged her to do a picture like that.

This was a funny story. They were also having to do something with the seagulls but I guess when this one girl came to close to the nest, they were surrounding her with about 200 birds trying to protect these babies. Danica said she wished they could have captured this one video.
