No sitting on the couch here!

Well, y'all, it's officially May in TX. Didn't you feel that wave of heat blanket the state this past weekend?
The hot weather is here for the summer, and it is completely miserable. I don't know about you, but I'm already running out of things to do in Texas when it feels like this.
I'm personally not a huge fan of burning your legs on hot car seats, sweating your a** off the second you step outside, and having that dreadful feeling of only wanting to be inside.
Such a sultry, yet boring weekend really got me thinking, what is there to do around the state when it feels like this? Here's your guide to doing super fun unique things this season.
Cool Off With Crazy Shaved Ice At Sweetzy's
Address: 3400 Bernie Anderson Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76116
Why You Need To Go: A cool treat is probably everyone's answer to quell a Texas heatwave. My personal favorite, other than a Dairy Queen blizzard, is shaved ice, but not just any old snow cone. These ones from Sweetzy's are giant and have candy piled on top.
