In this Tx heat we stay cool by drinking loads of water and going swimming!

We like swimming at the park or heading to the local (air conditioned!) children’s science museum!
Either stay in the AC or we like to put the hose on top of the slide and a tarp at the bottom and make a fun water slide in the back yard!
AC and lots of water!
Frozen grapes!
Playing in the baby pool and making homemade Popsicles with the baby bullet
Swimming, fruit, and fluids 🙂
I’m pregnant…so I’ve been planted in front of the fan this summer. My son and I also hit the pool that is just around the corner (<-lucky)

Swim team practice (well, it keeps the kids cool) and freezing all sorts of snacks like gogurt and grapes
Can’t do anything outside with a newborn in this St. Louis heat! If we want to go out we do it early before it get’s too hot but we mainly beat the heat by staying inside!
Ice cold sun team and swimming!
We go to the pool, and do lots of activities at home with ice. One of my favorites are iceberg treasure hunts, which I make by freezing small toys in a bowl filled with water. I give the kids salt, warm water and various other tools to dig them out with.
Swimming!
Watermelon!
We stay cool by drinking a LOT of water and taking breaks to come inside and “chill”. We do tummy time on the floor in front of a fan. Papa and baby get to take their shirts off….lucky boys!
Hmm- hot summer days I’ve heard of them but in Alaska they’re few and far between. 🙂 But on vacation we resort to using the A/C!
Fresh fruit smoothies are our favorite!
I keep my little guy cool by letting him run around in just his Bumgenius 4.0 and a t-shirt and playing in the sprinkler in the back yard.
Frozen yogurt trips and lots of fresh fruit! 🙂
