Keeping Cool
 
This summer is officially HOT. I had family in town last week over the 4th and it was fun but we literally could only stay out on the lake for 2 hours at a time. Walking around our quaint town just 20 miles outside of Glacier National Park, looking at quaint shops didn’t last more than an hour. It got me thinking about how to stay cool in these globablly warming times!
The following are some of the ways we found to handle the heat and still have a good time:
Make sure everyone has plenty of sun screen on any parts of the body that aren’t coved by clothing.Â
Big brimmed hats are a must; for baby, toddlers, aunties, uncles, momma — EVERYONE.
Bring a water bottle for everyone.  Whether its plain one from a pack of water bottles or a reusable one with fun colors and designs on it, a water bottle is great for hydrating and even squirting onto the top of your head for an instant cool down!
Wear comfortable clothing in breathable fabrics. Shorts, t-shirt and sandles are perfect for hot weather. If you’re going to be on a beach make sure you bring flip flop sandles that are easy to slip on and off for comfortable access to hot, sandy beaches.
Lastly, make sure everyone is having fun by staying rested and eating light. Have a great summer in the sun!
