There aren’t many more days left in the year before Texas again starts to resemble the surface of the sun. Now, when I was a kid living here, I really don’t remember it being so hot that I felt like I was melting. I mean, I feel like that now, but I don’t think I felt like that then.
But not my kids. They take after Tom, who is really bothered by “the day star” as he calls it (think about it). I’m sure he also thinks that he also wasn’t affected by heat when he was a kid, but I’m gonna play the “Yeah, but you didn’t grow up in Texas” card. But, our kids are growing up here, and it doesn’t take too long before they are red faced, whiny and ready to come inside. We’re talking like 10 minutes, y’all.
This year, we have a new little tool in our summer arsenal – a misting fan. It’s totally going to be easier for us to cool off while we are chillin’ out! Corny? Yep…but totally true.
Y’all, this isn’t just any misting fan – it’s the 18v Bucket Top Mister from Arctic Cove (available at Home Depot). This mister is quite possibly the end all, be all misting fan in the history of the world. That sounds overly dramatic, but it’s pretty amazing. In fact, there are 3 reasons why it’s going to rock our summer….
