#1 OBVIOUSLY....WATER!

I don't know about you, but in my family, water + kids = hours of entertainment. Whether it is a lake, kiddie pool, or big pool, it seems to keep them busy for hours. Throw in some toys, kitchen tools to make mixtures, buckets or whatever you can find and let them be creative. We've even had a lot of fun with a splash pad! Don't forget about your furry friends, they need to stay cool too!

#2 REUSABLE WATER BALLOONS

This is our new find this season. They are so fun and easy to use with no clean up! If you haven't tried reusable water balloons yet, check it out!

#3 SLIP AND SLIDES

These are just as fun as they were when I was little. I am so glad they are still around for my kids to enjoy!

#4 COOL SNACKS

What better way to stay cool in the summer heat than with frozen snacks? Freezies, ice cream, shaved ice....anything cold will do the trick on these hot days! We even squeezed a watermelon and made watermelon popsicles!

#5 OBSTACLE COURSE

Combine all of the above and create an obstacle course. You could include, jump/swim in a pool, throw a balloon at a target, slide the slip and slide, dump a bucket of water on your head....the possibilities are endless!

Have fun and stay cool!
