WAYS TO SURVIVE THE HEAT

We are on the countdown to our trip home for the summer!  While most of our Texas pals are out of school, we still have 16 days to go!  June 23rd we will fly out at 2:45 am and 16 hours later will land on US soil!  We get to spend 9 weeks at home and will head back to Dubai August 27th.  The kids and I are so ready to get home and see all our family and friends whom we hope have not forgotten the Bryants!  Until then, we must find ways to survive the INSANE HEAT of the desert and enjoy our last days here.  It is well over a 100 degrees daily here.  What are some ways we Bryants are surviving the heat?
