You can sit back and groan and gripe about the triple-digit temperatures, OR you can find places in the Valley keeping the fun – and the air conditioning – rolling while we wait until we can go outside again.

We choose AC.

Here are picks for the best things to do every day this coming week. If you hit any of them up, share your fun with us using #FrayLife in your social posts!
