10 Ways to Beat the Heat.

10.  Dive in the water… any water… play in the hose…. in a kiddy pool…

9. Clear out your freezer. Wet your clothes, put them into the freezer- when frozen- get dressed!

8. Lay in a pool of ice.

7. Go for a run… it’s sure to cool you off when you get back.

6. Run around naked with a wet rag on your head.

5. Sit in front of a fan with a wet towel around you.

4. Go shopping in the frozen section of the grocery store.

3. Head out in an air conditioned car and get some ice cream.

2. Enjoy it! This too shall pass. Watch the birds they’re playing in the water!

1. I’m remembering the fun I had making this snow angel… and am cooling right off!
