Boy howdy, you can almost grill a burger on your truck bumper as the Texas summer reaches full tilt boogie. Fear not, Denton has plenty of indoor stops to keep you cool when you ain’t enjoying that new Water Works Park Wave Pool or chilling in City Pool. It also ain’t too late to catch our WDDI top picks for “Denton Summertime Fun” or “Kid Camps” and maybe these “Denton Podcasts” to pass time in your cubicle or that dang long drive.
Holla in the comments if you have a fave to add, but be sure to tag your pretty Instagram pics with #WDDI so maybe you make the cut on Monday’s “What We Did” review.

The Fourth was a lot of fun but geez is this hot humidity startin’ to drag it outta ya or what? Just when you think Denton weather can’t get any wackier, Texas just smiles and says, “Hold my Lone Star and watch THIS!” You can still get in on our top picks for “Denton Summertime Fun” or “Kid Camps” and maybe these “Denton Podcasts” to pass time in your cubicle or that dang long drive on the MadMax heckscape called I-35. Regardless, there’s always plenty to do here in the Lil’ D so here are our top picks for keepin’ cool as you stay entertained.

What We Did is our weekly "slice of life" photo post featuring images that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram.
Below are 18 photos from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX including opening day at the Denton Community Market, The DIME Store's 4th birthday party, some food-centric celebrations, and a mean-lookin' cat. Also included are photos from the photo booth we helped put together at The DIME Store's birthday celebration featuring a backdrop hand-painted by Shawna Smith.
If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your Denton images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next Monday. Search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other photos that we were unable to include this week. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them and then go comment on a photo from 113 weeks ago.
P.S. Ya know those three posts we ran on Saturday that got a few people upset (i.e. Morrison's Corn-Kits turning into a vape store)? Yeah, those were all April Fool's pranks. So, you can go ahead and put down your pitchforks and rest easy. Spiral Diner will serve delicious vegan fare. Morrison's Corn-Kits will continue to produce corn bread packets (and more). And LSA will continue to be loud (but not THAT loud).
