An Irishman named Paddy O'Work

Sat June 4 (Day 5)



It was unbearably hot here in STL yesterday. It was at least 95*. Naturally, we decided it was the perfect day to spend outside working on the patio on the South side of the house. Todd and I started at 6:30 in the morning. My neightbor Mark came over and helped for about 3 hours. What a huge help that was. After about 11:30 Todd and I were on our own. We worked until about 5:30, then called it quits. We actually got a hell of a lot done considering there was only two of us. We drank tons of water to try to stay hydrated. Erin filled our 2 gallon water jug twice and we both had a quart of Gatorade. Nvertheless, I got heat cramps in my forearms and legs. Todd got them too in his hamstrings. We took the kids to the pool which was refreshing. I kept getting cramps in the pool, so I probably looked like a spaz. Enjoy the pictures..........
