Answer: Don't go outside!!! It is imperative to remain indoors at all times if you want to stay dry! If you do need to go outside for a little boy that constantly says "outside?", then be sure that water is involved. You're either going to be soaked with sweat or water...your pick.

Always more fun with friends (cousin Dallin and Drew)
Trying to look as cool as Drew does in his sunglasses If you must do an activity outside and you can't involve water, be sure to keep the activity to a maximum of 15 minutes to try to avoid red faces and sweaty clothes.
Our 30-minute outing with the ducks, which was about 25 minutes too long for the heat. This picture demonstrates Caleb's definition of feeding the ducks, "one for me and one for you."And lastly, to survive Houston summers, definitely DO NOT, under any circumstances, exercise outside.
I need to do better at heeding that advice. My sister and I are still running together every day, and I'm still doing some longer runs on Saturdays. Matt and I have also started playing Ultimate Frisbee again on Tuesday nights. This picture was taken right after a weekday run. I was hoping the camera would capture my soaked clothes and sweat dripping down my forehead and nose. Apparently my camera is not that hi-tech. If this picture would have been taken on a Saturday after my run or after Ultimate Frisbee, it would look like a bucket of water had been dumped on me. I can wring out my clothes when I'm finished. Pretty gross and pretty dumb :o).The three-digit temperatures in combination with no rain for about 3 weeks has been a killer! Our water bill is going to skyrocket this month (in order to keep the grass green), and the electricity bill will inevitably go up as well. Hopefully not that much as I keep our house really warm during the day to try to save on cost. It's amazing how your body can acclimate to 80 degree temperatures full time inside when it's over 100 degrees outside!

That's why I won't play ultimate right now. You definitely need to be careful outside. Heat exhaustion will happen fast and is no laughing matter.
I totally agree! This weather is NUTS! Summer is supposed to be fun, and full of stuff outside, but NOT IN TEXAS!! Let me know when you guys go to the Market Street fountain again- Hunter and Hayden would love to join the fun!
Yeah I dont know how I lived there! Saint George is really hot, but it is dry so it is more livable.
I can't imagine how we survived the hurricane. Of course it wasn't this hot since what we have right now is unusual, but it was still hot!!! Why do we live here?
Oh I feel the same. The a/c is out on my car!!! I don't/can't go anywhere unless it's a block away. Then I might as well walk.
Stupidly I went to Katy today because it was cloudy-and it wasn't that hot. Too bad the sun came out! YUCK.
Oh, Caleb looks so cool!
Don't even get me started on the heat...
