What's your Summer afternoon/evening routine?

At the moment it's not too bad because even though we are getting warm days, I check the current UV index and its getting down to the moderate stage by 3:30/4 so we go outside then (usually to the park up the bad of the street as our backyard is tiny). On the REALLY hot days in the middle of summer I try to play outside first thing in the morning before hibernating inside or, if we do go outside in the afternoon we stay under the alfresco area or I put a sunshade up and we either do water play or set up the blow up pool. Sometimes DD1 likes playing under the hose when we water the garden after the dinner and before bath.

Thanks.

We've always eaten as a family, so the early dinner wouldn't work here... I also worry about DS getting hungry if he eats earlier - it'd be 14+ hrs til he eats again. And because he has a meltdown when he sees sunscreen, I do worry about the sun/UV.

Might just have to be more organised with dinner...
