Happy Birthday America!!!

We broke down and ran the AC yesterday, being a holiday and all. I can deal with the heat, but the humidity was starting to do damage (dryer not being able to dry clothes, dogs getting stinky, paint on doors getting stuck). Ran the AC *all* day and it was still 86 in the house but better than the 92 it was at midnight the night before and AC 86 feels more like 70 to me since it clears the humidity pretty well. The only problem is that now the dogs are really hyper because they're not half dead from heatstroke.

It was too hot to grill (charcoal) so we still have thawed burger. Probably won't happen tonight either since it's currently 104/40.

We did brave the heat and crowds for the firework show. Pic with a 5 year old super cheap point-and-shoot.
