Praises of a Wife and Mommy

  Keep your pets hydrated during the extreme heat and humidity.  I froze some dog treats in water and she loved it!  :)  She was licking the ice and trying to get her treat out.  :)   I made these the same time I made some Ice Play for the kids.  We have to get creative to Beat the Heat!  :)   What are some tips you have for staying cool? 

  I bet your looking at that picture wondering what it is???  I froze a whole lot of water with random objects or colors in it to create some fun for the kids during our hot and humid day.  We have had several days in a row that are 90 plus degrees and  heat indexes in the 100's!   I  included a car, paint, food coloring, dog treat, bath toy, and even some fruit.  :) I also provided a few "tools" to help the kids dig them out or play with them.   The frozen paint made a bit of a mess but that's part of the fun.  My daughter did not use the tools much she just started throwing the ice until they broke.  The kids seemed to enjoy the play even though the ice melted very quickly. How are you  beating the heat?  This post is featured on:
