Cool Down From This Summer Heat!

Just today I was out with my wife and daughter cruising around town buying some things and my daughter was in the back seat crying up a storm and my wife and I couldn't figure out why she was having such a difficult time. She wasn't hungry or tired, we both knew that. Then it hit us, it's the 95 degree weather and the AC was getting back to her. So understandably she was not having a good time and when we pulled her out of the car seat we could tell by the amount of sweat she had accumulated she had every right to be raising the roof.

I think kids find the easiest ways to deal with the summer heat, whether it's jumping on a trampoline with a sprinkler underneath it or sliding down a slip n slide, or maybe even just a small swimming pool.

What about us adults though?

There's many ways for us adults to beat this summer heat but I think a lot of those ideas escape us as we get older. Here's some good ideas for us adults.

1. Skimboarding: Whether you live by the ocean by a lake, river or a pond you can go skimboarding anytime. Not only is it super fun but when you crash and burn you're cooling off at the same time, so it's a win win.

2. Wave Running: I've loved this sport since I was 13 years old. My father used to take his employees and his family up to a local lake every summer and we'd spend the day wave running and having a BBQ. Almost anyone can use a wave runner and renting one is relatively cheap. You can spend all day on one and never get bored.

3. Surfing: This sport does require an ocean and waves, so if you're fortunate enough to live by an ocean and you're not out surfing whenever possible, shame on you for not taking advantage of the beautiful, ever fun, never boring ocean.

4. Swimming: You're never too old to go swimming whether it's in a pool, river, lake or an ocean. Nothing relieves stress more than jumping into some nice cool water. Follow the example of your kids and go take a dive before winter hits and you're regretting not having taken a dip in some nice cool water.
