Enjoy Time With The Family When It’s Too Hot Outside
But when a big heat wave hits, though, the last thing you want to do is spend any time outside, not only because it's uncomfortable, but also because it can be dangerous.
Unfortunately, there's only so much Netflix you can watch and so many popsicles you can eat before you'll need to figure out new fun things to do at home. If you have kids, they may not understand why they can't just run through the sprinklers for hours on end—even though you know it's scorching out. So, just as you may have a load of ideas of things to do on a rainy day, you'll want an arsenal of indoor hot day activities for when the mercury rises to an intolerable level.
Here are some of our favorite ideas, and best of all, you can do them with friends, your significant other, or the whole family!!!
*** Take An Art Class ***
From online tutorials, to inspriation found on Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook, you might already have some ideas of where you and the fam can do some creative activities…
BUT, here at Pinot’s Palette, we are always offering fabulous classes where you can join us in the air conditioned studio to paint, enjoy some drinks, and have a lot of fun!

*** Movie Marathon ***
Years ago, there used to be a May Movie Magic every Sunday on Pogo when they aired all the Harry Potter movies, and how we waited for Sundays during summer vacation!
Summer afternoons are lazy, and what screams lazy other than a movie marathon?
Make a list of movies you want to watch, get your munchies and coolers ready, and fire away!
*** Popsicle Time ***
Summer in the Indian plain land is unbearable, and calls for cool sharbats or ice creams which become soup in a minute, and popsicles!
If you dread stepping out in the heat to buy some or don't want to torture a delivery person in this weather, make your own popsicle and ice creams at home.
It's easy and the Internet is overflowing with recipes.
