Beat the Heat edition. It is smokin' hot here in Colorado so we need an entire week of cool activities.
Monday: it came and went already and we spent it swimming at a local splash pool.
Tuesday: Smoothie Popsicles. I read this tip in Family Fun this month. Simply make a little extra smoothie then turns the leftovers into popsicles. I like that one mess makes a meal and a treat!
Wednesday: Fill the bucket race. I'm sure there is a better name for this water game but you get the drill....fill pool with water, dip one bucket into the pool water and race to another bucket to fill it up first. I think the egg game and water painting will also come into play today.
Thursday: Glacier Animal Freeze, also from Family Fun. Fill a plastic container with water, add food coloring to make it look like an ocean or glacier, add small plastic animals and freeze. After frozen, pop "glacier" out into a large bowl or sink and use another bowl of warm water to melt the glaceri and rescue the animals. Loads of fun, but remember to keep towels handy!
Friday: Ice Cream Day! I scored a B1G1 coupon for Cold Stone. maybe Afton will try something other than Cotton Candy this time.
