So far this June has had a pretty mixed-up bag of weather. We've had two heat waves interspersed with two periods of fairly cool weather. I like to avoid turning on the air conditioning if at all possible, so when it gets really really hot Giggles and I often camp out in the basement. I have a spare twin bed in the rec room, set up my camp cot beside it, and we bring down our blankets and pillows and the herd of horses and have good sleeps in the cool air downstairs.
(1) Giggles, the horses and I at our basement "campsite."
(2) The horses snuggle together on Giggles' camp bed.
(3) Giggles doing some art beside her camp cot.
As long the rest of the house is bearable enough that we can function for other activities and get a good night's sleep downstairs, this is my preferred mode of action. Usually that means as long as the inside temperature stays below 29 degrees (C), we're okay. The one drawback is that the camp cot is a bit lower than the twin bed, so Giggles can't snuggle right up to me. Most of the time that doesn't matter, but the night before she flew out west she wanted "full body contact" so we slept upstairs, in the heat. Which of course meant "full body contact" wasn't really an option, as we were both too hot to put up with the others' body heat!!! But she still wanted Mommy right beside her.
