Have Fun In the Shade

Lake Havasu

Ah Lake Havasu… The deep blue waves shimmering in the sun, the sharp peaks of the burnt-brown mountains looming over the sandy beaches, and the warm kiss of the fading sunlight on your back as your boat cruises back towards the dock. All these memories can be ruined, however, if you forget to apply sun screen at the beginning of the day. The 110-degree heat of an Arizona summer can burn even the hardiest of sun lovers to a crisp in just a few hours without the proper sunscreen.

Though sun block is readily available and easy to apply, many people forget to use it. If you are one of those unlucky souls who spent a day innocently soaking up the UV rays, only to wake up the next day as red as a freshly-boiled crab, than you should consider spending the next couple days sitting under a shade canopy. No one wants to stay in their hotel room or cabin all day when they could be outside enjoying sunny-day festivities. Shade canopies are easy to transport, and can save sun-burn victims from spending their vacation indoors.
