After the show, the kids explored through the museum for about two hours before we decided to head home. Our day was relatively low-key, but the temperatures are so hot that outdoor activities are prohibited. My leg is developing significant swelling in the heat which is making wearing my prosthesis both painful and exhausting. I am wrapping my limb in icepacks every night just to relieve the ache and the soreness that developed by walking throughout the day.
In the evening we went back onto the Ice Cream Trail, heading to a rural county about 45 minutes from my Mom for our coveted stamp. The weather was fine during our drive through the country to the dairy, but it felt like a monsoon opened up as soon as we began our trip back home. Between the stark darkness of the country, the winding rural roads, heavy rain, and frogs jumping all over the road, the ride home was miserable. (Well, it was miserable for me. The kids had a blast counting all of the suicidal country frogs.)
