I am pretty sure much of the globe is going though a heat spell right now, and it is no exception where I live here in California, which is usually fairly mild.
We have been hit hard by the heat wave - the hottest day was Friday when it hit 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and shattered the previous record for July 6th which was only 99 degrees. The average high temp is 88 degrees for this time of year, so as you can tell, we are feeling the heat.
As a family, there are a number of things we do to beat the heat and stay cool - swimming in the neighbors pool, the hose, water balloons, slip and slide, mini plastic kids pool, popsicles, etc. Yesterday, we went swimming at Grandma's pool, and today we are hanging outside in the back yard and getting wet. We are blessed to have air conditioning in our house, but who wants to hangout inside all day? We are an outdoor family, so being cool inside is nice for a little bit, but we all go stir crazy and want to get outside at some point, which means we gotta beat this heat!
Here are a few GIFs of us beating the heat:
How do you beat the heat? Are you going through a heat wave as well?
Take care my friends,
