I don't know how it is where you live but OMG has it been hot here. So I figured I would check out some things to do on a hot summer's day. I polled several people I met today - like the waitress at Red Lobster and the guy at the gas station - but I also talked to some of my online friends. So here is what I found:
#7 Pack up the family and head for the mountains. In fact while you are there check out the Scottish Games and the Bagpipers. Ah .. nothing like piper music to cool you down.
#6 Grab the kids and run over to the nearest water park. Slip, slide and whoosh! Of course around here make sure you run for cover if there is any whisper of lightening - Central Florida is known as the lightning capital of the world!
#5 Gather a bunch of retired friends and play games like Mexican Train Dominoes or card games - like Hand and Foot at the local air conditioned Senior Center. Always a great way to stay out of hot weather.
#4 If you have the opportunity - go out to your local river and rent a canoe - a relaxing way to spend a hot day. (Of course watch out for those nasty gators!)
#3 Ring your neighbor's bell and ask to play in their pool. Not only is this a great way to cool down, but an excellent way to find out who your neighbors are!
#2 Take an afternoon nap in your nice comfy chair, then when it is dark (not at dusk as the mosquitoes love that time!) sit out in the backyard and observe the stars. I adore doing this. The skies are ever changing and it feels sooo good.
So now for the Number 1 thing to do to cool down on a hot day -
#1 Pick up a friend and proceed to your nearest fast food place and order great big luscious Ice Cream Cones! There is nothing that cools you down better than licking an ice cream cone! (And nothing better than having a friend to share the experience!)
OK so now it is your turn! What do you do to cool down on a hot summer day?
