We've been having awesome Summer weather.
It was quite funny last week, we were driving down the freeway, when a motorcycle went zooming by.
Dustin mentioned that the guy wasn't even wearing a coat.
Reuben said, 'What's a coat?"  (and he wasn't trying to be funny).
It's been a while since they've had to find a coat or hoodie to wear:)
