Hi Alex! Hi Shawna! What's up?

My kids start school in 5 days and there are 17 boys in Jake's kindergarten class and 9 girls.

 

[AZMickeyfans]

And I thought I would have all this time on my hands I would volunteer more often.

RIGHT!

Woah!! That's a lot of boys! In elementary the girls always outnumbered the boys.

Cool! Those are pretty pics Alex!

Ok here are some AZ jokes in complete contrast to your Seattle jokes.

It's so hot in Arizona that...
you no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
you eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
you can make instant sun tea.
you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron.
the temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly.
you've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.
you would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
you can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!
you discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
you discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.
you notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
hot water now comes out of both taps.
it's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.
you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
you break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.
no one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning.
your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
a sad Arizonan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."
Is it hot enough in Phoenix to fry an egg on the sidewalk?

My bf rode his bike to work today. Now two of his co-workers want one too.

Beautiful pictures Alex. I so want to visit there someday.

This one is actually why I'm for year round schools. Many of our districts have gone to this but we havent as of yet. I would rather the kids have a break when its cool enough to actuallly play outside.

Did I tell you he bought a Kawasaki motorcycle?

 

[eatmypixiedust]

<---not this kind of bike

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Yes. Is it a crotch rocket? My brother had one of those.

a sad Arizonan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me, cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old." Funny! This is the same (only opposite) joke as the Seattle one about rain!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Yes, I jokingly call it that too. It's not a fast model. It only goes up to 100mph (which would give me a heart attack) but there are even faster models out there. He's been riding around safely. He was so happy that other motorcyclists were sayig hi to him.

I'm starting to see adults riding around on Vespas, which is not common around here. Those look kind of fun.

I know, that was why I posted that joke page. I thought it was funny since it was the exact opposite.

And seriously, no kids anywhere, its just too hot. IF we go to the park we are home by 7am and by then its 100 degrees out and the slides are unbearable. in Jan the parks are packed until about 8pm when its time for bed.

I tell everyone our summers are like winters up north because you dont see many kids out in winter when there is a ton of snow unless they are in snow gear. Or in our case at the pool.

I'm glad he's doing it safely. I remember you telling us how he was learning and everything. There was a story on the news about how gas prices are leading to rising motorcycle accidents because people buy a motorcycle, take the class and get the license but throw all common sense out the window from there on.
