I like to take my family to the lake and set up under a shade tree...Get in and go for a swim to cool off...We also like to go swimming at the pool! Popsicles are another great way to beat the heat! Kids always love to run through the sprinklers too! Or if all else fails, maybe you have too many kids or something...water balloons!!! What do you guys think? I love to find new ways to keep cool...

During summer, we usually plan trips to go to the beach. Sometimes we try to explore my country and go to places we have never been. This summer we went to Davao. There we went snorkeling, did some zorbing and tried the zipline. Eating sweet cool treats like ice cream can also help beat the summer heat!

Hi. Momma_Robinson. Welcome to myLot!
I usually stay indoors as much as possible. I only go outside or travel when I really have to. I have changed my schedule around so that I can go out early in the mornings, so that I can beat the heat before the sun starts to get really hot before 10 am. I also drink and eat plenty of cold drinks and foods. I wear cool cotton clothing. I have my Central Air turned on almost all day long. I keep my windows and blinds closed so that I can't feel the horrendous heat from outside. I am always sitting underneath a fan while I am on the computer or washing dishes too. I also keep all of my bedroom doors closed so that my home can get cooler much quicker. I give my kids ice pops every now and then to eat. This keeps them cool. We all drink plenty of fluids and stay indoors when it is so hot! It is 98 degrees outside, yesterday it was 101 degrees, so I am going to be staying mostly indoors during the summer. If I have to go somewhere, I will try to make sure that I go when it is cooler in the mornings, before the sun starts to get really hot. Stay cool and take care!
