Fun things to do on a hot day

It seems that the entire world is in extreme heat these days. Don't let the heat confine you in your air-conditioned home. Go out to have some fun. Here is a list of things you might enjoy doing on a hot day like today. 


1. Go to the beach - Discovery Park, Bainbridge Island, Lake Washington all have public beaches you can relax or swim
2. Kayak on the lake - Lake Union and Lake Washington have kayak rental. You wouldn't mind getting wet, would you.
3. Practice snorkeling in the pool or in the lake or in the ocean. 
4. Go to aquarium - even the thoughts of watching marine life swim in the water can cool you down. 
5. Wash your car - make sure to check your local water restrictions
6. Go ice-skating  at Key Arena (Seattle Center). Yes, the skating rink opens even in summer
7. Water balloon fight at your back yard. Just be gentle and friendly to each other.
8. Water melon seeds spitting contest. It might sound gross, but it IS fun. Find a spot you don't need to do massive clean up after the contest. 
9. Make frozen lemonade pops. Get ice tray, lemonade mix (or any other flavors) and water. 
10. Play in the sprinklers. Economic fun at your backyard. 


What am I still doing in front of the computer? Time to head out to enjoy the hot day.
