Cool off in style with a vintage fan. You'll be the envy of your neighbors.


8. ice cream



I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!


7. watermelon



The perfect refreshing, healthy, summer snack. (Don't forget to save the seeds for a seed-spitting contest!)

6. pool



All you need is a good book and a float and you're good to go!!


5. snow cone



We'll take one of each flavor, please!!


4. beach

2. sprinkler



You're never too old to play in a sprinkler!!


And our number 1 way for beating the summer heat..............


1. swimming hole



This is Hamilton Pool in Dripping Springs, Texas. It was formed when the dome of an underground river collapsed thousands of years ago. The water temperature hovers around 70 degrees making it the perfect place to be on a hot summer day.
