Beating the Texas Heat


Ok, I guess "heat" is a relative term. I guess we are trumped by someone lost in the Sahara Desert without water, or an unfortunate soul who has unknowingly bitten into a Bhut Jolokia pepper. But when you are 9 months pregnant with 3 girls who are looking for something active to do, the Texas heat ranks right up there with a Nolan Ryan fastball.

So to quench everyone's need for fun, we went to one of the local malls to play in the play area. It was the first time we had been to one with Kate, but no need to worry because she had a great time. When she wasn't being entertained by her sisters, she was sitting in the big "spoon" watching everyone with a curious expression on her face. It must be the local hot spot for tots however, because our quiet haven for exploration soon turned into the meeting place for every screaming banshee within 30 minutes drive. So upon hearing Sarah's proclamation of "it's just too loud", we decided a visit to the food court and Sonic was in our future. After all, nothing says "beat the Texas heat" like an ice cream cone and cherry limeade.
