Summer Fun to Keep You Cool
Hot
enough to fry an egg on your sidewalk? Here are some fun summer
activities to help you beat the heat and keep your family cool in the scorching weather.
Give
Fido a Bath
Outside,
of course! Grab the hose, some pooch shampoo and meet the family in
the backyard to accomplish the mission of making Fido squeaky clean.
I can garuntee, Fido will appreciate the cool water on a hot day too.
Water
Balloon Toss
There's
nothing more invigorating than a little competition in a water
balloon toss. Even if you don't catch the balloon and win, at least
you're cooling off! Everyone wins! Grab some neighbor friends for
more splashing fun!
Head
to a Local Water Park
Whether
you live in Maryland, Virginia or DC, there's a fun water park or water play area near you.
Visit
the National Aquarium in Baltimore
Watching
all the fish, sharks and dolphins play in the water is a great way to
keep the family cool. To cool off, check out the National Aquarium's dolphin show!
Go
Tubing Down a River
This
is a fun day trip idea. Grab some tubes and head down the Shenandoah
River for a lazy-river experience in nature.
Ships
Ahoy!
Another
great day trip idea is to go to either Baltimore or Annapolis and jump aboard a REAL
pirate ship at Urban Pirates or Pirate Adventures of the Chesapeake Bay! The breeze
will feel great to the adults, and the kids can enjoy face painting,
games, water cannons, and more!
