Beat the heat

It is possible… especially when the temperature finally begins to drop off a bit in the evening. But even while it is hot, you can take your mind off it.

First, fill the pool and leave it out to get warmed up. Get the sprinkler going. Stick a slide in the pool, too.

Then tell the kids to get wet.

The folding chair is where I was sitting, soaking my feet and letting the kids splash me.

Sliding backwards into the pool is also an entertaining option for cooling off.

So is tickling your sister.

Or attempting to drown your brother.

And you can do all that kicking and splashing that Mom and Dad won’t let you do in the bathtub.

Finish off with a dance through the sprinkler which has been raining on you while you were playing in the pool, and all of a sudden, the hot weather is much more bearable. Hurray!
