Keeping Cool in Arizona

Phew! It is so hot outside right now, that I bet you could fry an egg off the pavement. I just might try it one of these days when I have more energy. I took the girls ice skating this morning at Polar Ice in Chandler and it was alot of fun. Last time I went with the girls I was pregnant and couldn't skate, but this time it was fun. The girls were amazed that mom actually knows how to skate ha ha (of course my ankles are killing me and I think I pulled a muscle trying to avoid one of the many camp kids there). Justine was excited that it was exactly 58 degrees in the rink and that she got to wear her gloves that she got for Christmas. Amanda was gone and breezed by every once and a while. Natalie just loved to be in the middle and practice turning in circles. I was the first off the ice - lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, Amanda next at 1 hour and 30 minutes, Justine at 1 hour and 45 minutes and Natalie right to the last minute of free skate. She was relentless. It actually felt good leaving the rink and walking outside for all of 2 minutes. They hit the pool when we got back and I was dumb - pulled weeds. Should have ditched responsibility and swam. Any other cool ideas?
