It is officially TOO HOT OUTSIDE!\u00a0 I am usually a fan of the warm weather, but my goodness it is hot!\u00a0 I walk out of my house and I am instantly covered in sweat, and I don\u2019t ever sweat!\u00a0 In fact, it is so hot that my sweat is now sweating!\u00a0 It is hot as the devil’s lair\u00a0outside lately!\u00a0 Argghhhh!<\/p>\n

It is just plain miserable outside these days with this severe heat, which leaves us trapped indoors needing to be entertained :).\u00a0 So today I thought I would share a few ideas to help keep everyone entertained while staying indoors in their nice Air Conditioning.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the swimming pool.\u00a0 If that is not an option you can do what my neighbors did by taking your pickup truck, covering the back of the truck with a tarp, and fill it with water to make it a fun swimming pool for the kiddies.\u00a0 It was awesome to see that.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to one of the local indoor play parks or trampoline parks.<\/li>\n
  3. Go see a play at a local theater house.<\/li>\n
  4. Movies, movies, and more movies.\u00a0 Movies are my personal favorite thing to do.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t seen the movie Now You See Me yet, I would highly recommend it.\u00a0 Same with White House Down and The Lone Ranger. All great movies.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to the Aquarium.<\/li>\n
  6. Go to a local museum.<\/li>\n
  7. Do a grocery store scavenger hunt party \u2013 gather a few friends, come up with a list of random things they have to find at a grocery store (there are lots of suggestions on pinterest if you need help making your list).\u00a0 Then go and compete to see which team finds their items first.<\/li>\n
  8. Build a fort in your house with your kids \u2013 get all the blankets and build a massive fort with your kids.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t done this one since I was a kid but I think it would be a blast.<\/li>\n
  9. Get all your old photos that are actual photos, not the digital ones, and use this time indoors to scan them all in so you have digital copies of everything.\u00a0 Not the most fun activity, but you will be glad when they are all done.<\/li>\n
  10. Sign up for an AboutOne.com account and setup your personal files, scanning in your insurance cards, birth certificates, upload photos and videos, and get all your personal files organized and stored online.\u00a0 This one is one you will be so glad to have, especially if there is a natural disaster in the future.\u00a0 So this one is fabulous for organizing your life and getting prepared for the future.<\/li>\n
  11. Go to the Mall and SHOP!\u00a0 Yeah, another personal favorite.<\/li>\n
  12. Make snow cones!<\/li>\n
  13. Eat Ice Cream and Otter Pops.\u00a0 You can never have too many of these.<\/li>\n
  14. Have a game day or game night and play games inside as a family<\/li>\n
  15. EAT MORE ICE CREAM!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Well that is about all the indoor ideas I could come up with today, but feel free to share other fun ideas in the comments to give me and all of you more ideas on how to wait out this heat wave! \u00a0\u00a0I think I am going to go get me another otter pop and another bowl of ice cream\u2026.don\u2019t judge me :)\u2026I am hot!!!<\/p>\n
