Even though we technically have another month of summer left, this weekend is generally known as the end of summer. Kids around the country are heading back to school next week. That is, the ones who haven't already started back. My kids went back three weeks ago. My nephews go back this coming week.
Just because summer is coming to an end doesn't mean that summer fun has to end. I am a big swimmer, and so are my kids. One of the things I have always wanted to, but have yet to do, is visit a water park. I mean, what can be more fun than sliding down huge slides into huge pools of water?
We live pretty close to a huge indoor water park, and I have been wanting to visit it for a while now. I think the kids would love it. Okay, who am I kidding? I would love it too! The best thing about indoor water parks is that the weather doesn't factor into the fun. It could be freezing outside, but inside, we could be in our bathing suits having a ball.
Hopefully by this time next year, I can say we visited the park, and I'll let you all know how much fun we had. Oh, and I'm sure I will have tons of pictures to share, too.

Weird
I was dropping ecards the other day, and read something that struck me as odd. I can't remember who's blog I was on (sorry), but it was a post about drinking water with meals. There were two sides to the argument, and I wasn't sure which was right.
One side said drinking ice cold water while eating solidifies the fat in your meal, making it difficult to digest, and therefor causing weight gain.
The other side said drinking cold water with a meal makes you digest your food faster, because your metabolism speeds up to warm the water.
The second made more sense to me, but since I am not an expert, I googled both sides, and found both to be untrue. While drinking water keeps you hydrated, it does not speed up your metabolism, or solidify fats in your stomach. They are both just old wives tales. (at least according to google)
Have you ever heard either of these? If so, what do you believe?
