"Excessive Heat Warning"

IT's HOT THIS SUMMER........
...therefore...

our recent family reunitings occurred in environments conducive to keeping our bodies comfortable so our temperaments could be kept "cool."

(Gathering schizophrenically familial personalities together can lead to stimulus overload, which leads to "personality explosions". And with back-to-back reunions with crowds up to 28 people, with temperatures in the 100's, overloading on stimuli was unavoidable)

Our air-conditioned house served as a central gathering place for the 4-day Evans family reunion the first of July. When it was suggested to divide into teams and play charades in the family room, Uncle Paul quickly decided to have all the kids on one team and the "older and more mature" family members on the other!
(I am not sure my sister, Tanya..(pictured above in pink), qualifies as a "more mature, adult")
but I am not tellin'

This same space used for a wild night of entertainment among performing cousins has recently been transformed into.....


....ONE BIG TENT.....


Carson and Jessie intend to sleep in the 6-bedroom, luxurious, condo until school starts
and I intend to let them!
