How having your own pot can keep you cool.
It was hot today, I hear we broke a record. As I was driving past New Milford High School this afternoon the temperature read .... 110.... how could that be?
I took my grandson over to his aunties house to swim in the pool this evening. He had a great time, no fear at all. After pool time he made his own entertainment....
Off went the bathing suit and diaper ....
In to the pot full of water he went... in and out, in and out.... Don't ask me how he fit in there, he screwed himself right down inside. I had fears he might get stuck, I was running that phone call to 911 in my head.
Kids, you really gotta love 'em. I have to say, it reminded me of one of those... "you know you're a redneck when".... jokes.
Stay cool, stick your head in a bucket of water. Do whatever it takes! We have a few more scorchers on the way!

It will need to be a very big pot but I am game with this heat. lol
Andrea, you deserve the award for the post of the day! Nice work!
Had a whole swimming pool and found the pot just right? Well, whatever it takes, I guess. Great photos. Thanks for the laugh!
What a cute post! Thanks for making me laugh!
I'm off to find a pot...a really big one!
I love it! It's a great way of "thinking outside the box"... er.... pot *G*
Andrea, what cute photos! He is certainly a very resourceful young man!
Andrea, that is too funny! It is nice to be a kid and do anything so care free, I bet he feels very cool and good after all the dunking, lol.
Andrea: And here I was expecting you to share with us that you were growing marijuana in your back yard. Oops. But, this is cute, as well. <smile>
Adorable pictures of your grandson! He sure looks cool!!
Don't you just love children! Such easy joy they bring to life! Thanks for sharing the picture show! A great way to end my night on Active Rain. :)
Where there is a will there is a way. Great Pics, Thanks for sharing.
Andrea, These photos are adorable. Kids have no concept of getting stuck … they are only in the moment … and boy is your grandson in the moment.
What a wonderful and imaginative child you have...Great pictures and thanks for sharing...
What a guy and sooooo resourceful. Surely you will save these pics for him in later years! Ha. Hard to believe he fit in that pot. Sue of Robin and Sue
Yup, and love the pics. We are hitting 115-112 regularly here in Phoenix, but we expect to do it. How does he fit in there?? very cute/.
Don't you wish you could cool off so easily? I do...
Cute pictures. Thanks for sharing.
What a cutie! Remember when we just cooled ourselves off? I love the last photo.....priceless!
Good morning all. Thanks for enjoying the photos of my grandson. The pictures were really hard to take because...
I was laughing so hard it was difficult to keep the camera still!
Great photos!
I guess Karen Anne & I are the only hippies, I was thinking this was going to be about a different kind of pot (and a different kind of 'cool').
Gosh -- when I read your title, I though you had gone all ganja on us!
I was wondering how many would take the title the "wrong" way, LOL. :D
Andrea: Funny thing is... I never smoked pot... not even when I was a hippie Junior High School teacher in the 1960's. Actually, I never smoked ANYTHING. I saw smoking killing both my parents... which it eventually did... so nope... none for me, thank you.
Andrea, they are fun to watch. We had the 16 month old grandson yesterday and he had a ball in the little pool my wife has on the deck for him. He also ended up without the protective bottom wrap (diaper). Too bad the pool wasn't big enough for adults, or even me. Thanks for sharing
What a fun bunch of pictures Andrea! Those are priceless! I'll bet you had the biggest grin on your face when you were shooting those!
110 Andrea!!! Redneck yep! These are priceless Andrea! Can just see them up there on the big screen on his wedding day!
Good Morning Andrea, The photos are so cute and a great capture, especially because you were laughing :-). Here we are in CA, usually really hot this time of year and the temp this morning was in the high 60's. Your heat wave hopefully ends soon. Wonderful Andrea!

Where is my pot? Too cute! I can't believe it was 110 out there. And I thought it was hot here.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !!!!
PRICELESS INDEED !!!!!
.... you just cant predict what little munchkins will do can you !
Gotta luv 'em !
Great post! Great pictures and very good memories keepsake!
Adam
How fun i this towards the end of the day. I wasn't quite sure where you were going with the title! It totally made me smile. He sure is having one heck of a good time - and what a creative kid too! Love this one Andrea!
Andrea, better to play around with that pot than the pot that I thought you were writing about :)
Wouldn't it be great to be that age and that Innocent again?
Andrea lovely shots. This sure brought back memory of when my children where young, and they too entertained themselves with the pots.
Andrea,
How funny!

I am so glad you all enjoyed these pictures as much as I did. The little imp, LOL. He is priceless, as they all are!
Those lobster pots sure do come in handy!!!!
ANDREA: Grandchildren are such a joy. I thank you for putting a smile on my face as I enjoyed the cleverness and of your grandson. I also was taken by surprise by your title leading us to a pot that was so unexpected.
Andrea, Great photos. It is so amazing how little ones can amuse themselves. Great photos for him to see in later years.
Gloria
Guess I fooled a bunch of you with the title, LOL. He was back in the lobster pot this evening, we had another great laugh! I am certainly going to make sure he sees these when he is older, and that everyone else sees them too!
Andrea, great photos of your grandson...that is definitely one way to cool off :)
