Summertime is here and in most places around the U.S., July 4th is going to be hot, hot, hot! If your plans include a day at the beach, barbecuing with friends, or watching the parade and fireworks, be sure to stock up on sunscreen and have your family drink plenty of water.
 
The American Academy of Pediatrics continues to urge families NOT to buy fireworks for their own use and to leave fireworks to the trained professionals. Parents, get fireworks safety tips here.
