fruit salad! Yummy yummy! Use Libby’s canned fruit of your choice so that you get the lovely juice and add fresh cantaloupe and watermelon (use a melon baller if you like, otherwise cut in small chunks), sliced strawberries are nice too.

Renee Schuhmacher says
My five year old daughter and I climb up on the couch, stick our feet in a pan of cool water, turn on the fan and spend the afternoon reading. If you’re reading you can go to places it’s not so hot. (At least in your mind. :>) )

On hot, humid days I make smoothies for the kids using OJ, milk, banana, strawberries, handful of blueberries and blackberries, a couple tablespoons of sugar, and icecubes. I would love to have the stainless steel blender you are giving away. It would be awesome.

I get the pool ready for the girls,and I make sure that they have plenty of water and also a smoothie, sometimes with libbys canned fruit.(fruit cocktail or peaches ).

My granddaughter stay cool by going to the pool everyday. Drink plenty of water and play.

We just bought an above ground pool and it has been great for beating these hot GA temperatures!

When the temperature goes up, I still drink a cup of hot tea. The hot liquid makes the outside temperature seem not so bad.

A good way to beat the heat in our town is to head either east to the ocean or west to the river. Either has lots of ways to cool off whether in or out of the water.
Joel Werner says
I like to relax in the pool with a cold drink in hand. Something that comes out of a blender would be that much better, but I don’t have one…yet.

We set up the kiddie pool in the grass and a water table, give the kids a homemade popsicle and let them go at it.
barbara miller says
Since we were blessed to have a pool (which is more of a necessity here in hot, hot Texas) the best wayto beat the heat is to float around the pool with my son and the dogs – the dogs all have their own boogie boards to float around on, but one thinks she’s a pirate and constantly capsizes the other dogs! Too funny!
Cloi says
I get spray bottles, fill them with cold water (our tap water is 50 degrees!), and then the kids and I go outside and have a water fight! This activity has the added benefit of burning off some of my boys’ energy! 🙂
Brandy Asleson Cockrell says
My favorite is swimming with the kids and nice cold lemonade and homemade popcycles! 🙂

I like to used canned fruit, such as Libby, strain it out thoroughly, and then put the fruit all on a glass pie plate and put in freezer for several hours. The kids love it . . . it’s nice and cold & healthy. I also make homemade popsicles using the fruit & syrup, blending it all up, anding about a 1/4 cup of water (or additional fruit juice) and then put into popsicle container. It’s yummy and healthy! 🙂

My fave way to beat the summer heat is ice cream and making smoothies.

Wow great company! My favorite way is to freeze fruit chunks and make me a fruit cocktail cup with frozen fruit. It taste delicious and it cools you off quickly.
