With summer just around the corner, you may be looking for activities that will keep you and the kids cool and refreshed. The last thing you want to hear all summer long is whining and complaining because it’s hot. One thing you can do to keep your house cool is call My Father’s Mechanical for an air conditioning inspection. We will make sure you can count on the unit all summer. Here are some other suggestions for some summer family fun and staying cool at the same time.
Play in the Sprinklers
Put on the bathing suits, turn on the sprinklers, and have fun while you water your yard. You can play tag in the sprinklers or Red Rover. You can also just let the kids go crazy and run around. If your dog loves water, include it in the fun. Once the yard is watered adequately, you can turn off the sprinklers and head inside to dry off.
Have a Water Fight
You can also fill balloons with water or grab the super soakers and have a family water fight outside. Designate forts throughout the yard for everyone to hide. Then, start the fight and get creative with how you take out your opponents. For example, if you have a tree large enough to climb in your yard, climate and douse your opponents from above.
Head to the Movies
You can also cool off on a hot afternoon by heading to the movies to catch the latest flick. Summer movies are filled with action and fun that the kids will enjoy. The movie theater is usually cranking its air conditioning system so all of the patrons are comfortable. Grab the snacks and drinks from the snack bar and make sure to get inside in time to see the previews.
Walk Around the Mall
Another thing you can do is had to the local mall and walk around it in the afternoon when the sun is at its hottest. Again, the malls and their stores run their ACs to make sure that the customers are cool. This is not only a way to get out of the house and get some exercise but also a chance to look at new clothes for the next school year.
Hit the Public Pool
Finally, if you don’t have a pool yourself, take the kids to the public pool so they can dive in and cool off. Make sure that you keep your eyes on the kids while they are in the pool.
