Happy Fourth of July!

Have a wonderful time with your children. Enjoy these moments. Go to a parade, watch fireworks, have a sing along or have a barbecue and make the most of it!

DAILY RECIPE: Bacon Lemon Chicken

8 chicken drumsticks
8 strips of bacon
2-3 lemons
salt and pepper

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Wrap each one with the strip of bacon. Place them in a baking pan. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken. Place in oven, covered, for 45 minutes, 350°F
.

TIP OF THE DAY

Keep cut carrot sticks or fruit wedges in air tight containers inside your fridge. Easy to grab for afternoon munchies, avoiding the bag of chips.

ACTIVITY: 4th of July Streamer

You will need:
Red tissue paper
Blue tissue paper
White tissue paper
1 long thick craft stick
Glue or tape

Have children cut long streams of tissue paper, four of each color. Tape or glue each one to the end of the stick. Let dry. Grab the stick from the other end and take turns with your child running and holding it high. Lots of fun!
