Keeping Cool

Summer heat can be an activity buster…here are a few ideas for keeping cool…

• Visit a local library (air conditioning and books – what is better? My kids love to be able to sit at the computers and play webkinz…I like that the computers automatically log them off after 30 minutes).
• pool, splash pad, sprinkler (water is cooling – but remember sun screen and shade)
• movie day (there is nothing wrong with spending ONE afternoon inside watching a film)
• tourist trap (visiting a local tourist attraction can be fun…it can also be air conditioned)
• play in the evening (evenings are cooler so stay quiet during the day and hit the park after dinner)
