It is so hot here in AZ!  We are so ready for this heat to be over with.  But we know we’ve got a long ways to go.  That’s how it is every summer.  🙂  To keep cool we like to swim and eat lots of popsicles.  We LOVE popsicles at our house, but sometimes all that sugar is not so fun for mom.  I thought it would fun if we made our own popsicles and adding some fruit and cutting back on the sugar to make it a little more healthy.  The kids and I made these tropical peach popsicles with real peaches and fruit juices to combat our summer heat.

Look how pretty they are with their chunks of peaches and pineapple.  Why are homemade popsicles so much fun?  These were a great summer activity for the kids.  We used a popsicle mold that needed 8 hours to freeze before the popsicles were ready.  But you can use any popsicle mold you have or even paper cups and popsicle sticks would work.
