It’s Summertime and Time to Get off the Couch

It is summertime in Texas, and you know you are going to see triple-digit temperatures. It may seem like it’s too hot to get outside and do anything, but it’s actually the perfect time. Kids are out of school and probably been cooped up in the house all day over summer break. Their pent-up energy is the perfect motivator to get you out and about on the weekends or on your days off. Although, it is very hot there are still many things you can do to get yourself up and out of the house but not died of heat stroke.

Outside Activities to Do with the Family

So, what family-friendly outside activities can you do when the weather is excruciatingly hot? There are many water activities that the kids will enjoy and help to take away some of the heat. Buy a season pass to a waterpark, cookout at the lake and swim, set up a homemade slip and slide in the backyard, or go canoeing down the Brazos River. All these water activities will help keep you cool in hundred-degree temperatures. If water activities are not your thing, then maybe think about planning a camping trip for you and your family. You can always find shady places to keep cool during the middle of the day and once the sun goes down the heat level decreases and you can focus on campfire cooking and fun activities around the campsite for you and your family. You could also consider hiking, and as long as you go at a relatively slow pace, you won’t overdo it in this heat.

Whatever it is that you decide to do this summer, it is important to just get out of the house, off the couch, and out from in front of the television.

I Think He Forgot Something

I Think He Forgot Something So this is funny. But according to nwitimes.com , a 33-year-old suspect made his getaway after robbing a convenience store but didn't get far. The guy had robbed a LaCrosse gas station after he informed the store clerk he had a gun. The suspect, Sean Harris, made off with food, beverage items, and cigarettes… but no money! I guess the guy was super hungry since the report stated he had a blood alcohol level higher than the limit for legally operating a motor vehicle. Harris fled the gas station, with whatever he could carry, when an Indiana State Police trooper came upon the getaway car. Not in some crazy high-speed chase, or from using some awesome spy satellite that Vin Diesel uses in all his action films. NOPE! Harris’ vehicle ran out of gas. That’s right, he forgot to steal some fuel before making off with his goodies. The Indiana State Police trooper found his vehicle stopped along a two-lane highway. Harris is being held in jail without bail.

Trucks not only offer functionality but are also just fun to drive. They are high off of the ground and can typically travel places other low vehicles cannot go. They are great for off-road driving. They are also suitable for what is a typical Texas country tradition, mudding. Who doesn’t want to find a good mud hole and bust some 180’s and sling mud everywhere?
