Celebrating the 4th of July

Before you celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the 4th of July, take time to go over firework safety with your children. Don't get too caught up in the excitement of parades, barbecues, baseball games, and ceremonies that you forget!

Here are some links that may help:

• Fireworks Safety Tips - Safe Kids Worldwide
• Fireworks Information Center - CPSC
• National Council on Fireworks Safety
• FIREWORKS - National Fire Protection Association 
• Fireworks Safety Activity Book - WA State Patrol

Yes, its an exciting day and we are all eager to get out and have loads of fun, but practice safety first. You don't want to turn a day to remember into a day you can never forget.
