Real Mom of O'Fallon

Baby, Its Hot Outside!

Real Mom of O’Fallon offers ideas on ways to entertain the kids during the heat wave.

Holy heat Batman!  O’Fallon has been under an Excessive Heat Warning for days now.  The temperatures are hot and the heat index has been anywhere from 100-115.  To say that this heat wave is dangerous is an understatement. As parents, we want to have fun with our children during the summer, but their health and safety is most important. Many outdoor activities need to be restricted in heat like this because a child can overheat and dehydrate very quickly.  Trying to entertain your children in weather like this can be a real challenge, especially if you are anything like me and find yourself down right crabby because of the heat.   I’ve put together a few suggestions on ways to beat the heat and still have fun until fall arrives.

Real Mom of O'Fallon

This is What Summer is All About

Real Mom of O'Fallon makes the best of a bad situation.

One of the best parts of summer is swimming.  On a hot, humid St. Louis summer day, there is nothing better than jumping in pool to cool off and have fun.  As a kid, I would spend hours at the pool.  I’d play Marco Polo, dive for quarters spend hours just floating on a raft.  Even as an adult, I still enjoy going to the pool every chance I get.  Especially since most pools offer attractions such as a lazy river and waterslides, going to the pool is even more fun than I remember as a kid.  When I take my boys to the pool, we get there as soon as it opens and stay until dinner time.  We usually go to the pool at least twice a week all summer long.   To say that it is our favorite summer activity would be an understatement!  Well, as I write …

Thanks Patti! We too were told by the doctor to do the alcohol trick after swimming, we just need to get the initial infection cleared up first! We go for a recheck Monday to see if we have the green light to swim. Crossing our fingers...   more ›
