To stay inside in this heat?

It's the first week of the 6 week holidays and it's just too hot outside to do much. I took ds dd and dds friend to a nature reserve on Tues packed a picnic thought we'd be out all day they wanted to come home after an hour an a half because it was too hot. Ds is going on cub camp tomorrow for a week then away with my parents in a caravan for 3 nights then me and oh join them for 6 nights (parents are coming home when we get there). I wanted to do something together today but he's stayed inside all day and played on his xbox, me and dd have been and done a bit of clothes shopping, oh is signed off work sick for 2 weeks so haven't had to drag ds everywhere with me. We went to the pics to see lion king mon and then our brief trip out Tues but I feel a bit like I've wasted the first week. Oh says dd won't be able to go on his x box for 2 weeks due to cub camp and holiday so loads of time on it this week won't matter, but I always feel a bit of a failure if we never leave the house.

I feel the same. Really suffering with heat and want to stay in, but feel bad with DD being on her tablet, but it's first week of hols and think they want to crash. We're going away next week so can't feel too bad about a quiet week

Why wouldn't you stay in? In places where such temperatures are commonplace, the advice would be to stay indoors or go to air-conditioned places.

I would let the DC chill indoors. It is way too hot for many people outside, they need to relax after the end of the school year and it sounds like you have lots planned in the not too distant future.
Fwiw, it is meant to be a lot cooler tomorrow!

Perfectly sensible, if anything.
