HEAT WAVE.

for those of you into meteorology you may have noticed that the east coast has been under a blanket of death...i mean heat for the past week.

i'm from Idaho.

it can get fairly hot there.

most summers it will hit the 100's. 

but its dry.

i'm okay with dry heat.

the east coast thinks its cool to add humidity to the 100 degree days.

like last week.

we had 3 days in a row that were at least 100 degrees.

then humidity was added.

i think the hottest day's heat index was 115 degrees.

yeah..it felt like it was 115 degrees.

i felt like i was being slow roasted.

however..there is light at the end of this whiny tunnel. 

with the heat wave...comes ocean waves!

we love living on an island on the coast!  

we have a few beaches to choose from all within an hour away.

we usually go to Rockaway Beach and love it.

it has become our new weekend ritual.

last Saturday we packed up and headed out at 7am to beat the heat and it was perfect!

as a side note:

i had no other options than to wear my hair like this last week...

little house on the prairie style.

simply because even the best of pony tails stuck to my neck and back.

i asked Mr. Larsen if he liked my hair like this.

his first answer..."umm, it's pretty intense."

my answer..."SO IS THIS HEAT"

maybe i should shave my head...Demi Moore style.

humidity is no bueno.
