by socialchick~ All of you religious people hold your gasp because I used the word hell. Well I really meant that it is hotter than hell here. I'm pretty sure hell is a little hotter but feeling the heat out side is enough to make me stay out of it (hell). I love summer time but I hate this hot weather. If it could be 75 to 80 degrees would be great but I'm pretty sure that we have seen 100 or higher.
What are you doing to stay cool? Mrs. Priss is constantly wanting to go out side and play but it is to hot. Are there certain things that you are doing out side to stay cool? I need some ideas of how to get out of the house but stay in the yard. I'm still keeping kids this summer, Monday through Wednesday so were limited to what we can do on those days.
Miss Priss is a lot like me. Staying at or in the house makes her stir crazy. I try to get out on Thursdays and Fridays but it is still annoying to get out and sweat to death. So I'm needing your help. Is there anything special that you do with your kids to stay cool? Let me know all of your ideas.
sorry I can't help with any cool ideas. We too have been run in by the heat. But they boys do play with a slip and slide occassionally. If you come up with anything else please post. :)

I love the sprinklers at the park in Bonifay and it's free. Just take a lounge chair and sit right on the edge so you can get a little wet too and stay cool.
We took Punkin to Destin Commons to the free movie yesterday and I was going to let him play in the sprinklers. Of course, being a typical boy, he wanted to play on the HOT playground instead with all the other "big boys." Beyond my comprehension.
What about a slip and slide too? You could sit under a sprinkler while she played. Or just a small pool.

since you have the boys, get some (or borrow) some water guns. You can get in on the action (you hold the hose, lol) and spray them and yourself down, everyone can get wet and endure the heat.

It is hotter than hell ;)
We try to go out in the morning time, after breakfast, before it starts getting really hot. We have a water table, the kids really enjoy that...I put bubbles in it when they start to get bored. It's in the shade because putting on sunscreen and then smelling like it all day isn't that fun to me.
We also have a sandbox. I put up a big umbrella to shade the kids from the sun.
