HOW HOT CAN IT GET?

So, it got a little bit hot while we were on our vacation......which means collecting money for the kids and losing money for Jeff. And on this trip the kids were definitely collecting!

It's always a little game that we play in the car when we are headed somewhere hot. It starts out that Jeff tells the kids "if it hits 100 then you each get a buck". So the kids watch the temp in the van and if it hits 100 they go wild and start negotiating for what they get when it hits 101.

This time it started at a buck for 100, then when it started getting really hot it jumped to a buck for 105, then 110, then one day it was a couple of bucks for 115, then a couple of more for 116, and more for 117, 118 and 119.......the kids kept upping it and Jeff kept agreeing because he was SURE that it wasn't going to get that hot. Well, by the time it hit 119, this game had been going on for a few days already and Jeff owed each one of the kids 19 dollars! After that Jeff wasn't having much fun and ended the game!

It's so funny to watch and listen to the kids as they watch the temp. Sometimes it will jump up a degree only for a few seconds and then go back down. When there is money on the line, though, the kids sit and stare at it and when it changes (no matter how quickly) they know.....and they make sure we know too!

Here's how Jeff lost all of his money.....


Not only did Jeff lose money because of this HOT weather, but he also had to deal with the hot weather.....and it was HOT and uncomfortable at times!
