Summer is our favorite time of year here at Pinwhirls. With the 4th of July
just a couple of weeks away, we thought it would be a great time to share some backyard
party and cookout tips. As always, we'd love for you to share your tips and
ideas (or just tell us what you've got planned this 4th of July)
with us in the comments.
Fireworks: Make Your
Celebration Fun for All Ages
Adults and children alike love the fun of fireworks.
Sparklers are always a great hit, but sometimes little ones are scared of these
fireworks or they're just too young to handle them on their own. For the
younger kids, we recommend handing out summer toys like our Pinwhirls pinwheels. The twirling motion will be
captivating, entertaining, and safe. Plus the kids can take them home when the
party is over.
Be Weather-Wise
July can really be hot and muggy. Beat the heat at your
party, cookout or picnic by seeking out shaded locations for your event. Or you
can create your own shade with tents, awnings, or patio umbrellas.
Bring plenty of sunscreen. If you're going to be poolside
this July 4th, monitor how long you're in the water. Many sunscreens
need to be reapplied in order to offer full protection.
Remember Food Safety
The extreme heat can make your favorite foods spoil quickly.
Make sure your cookout or picnic foods are safe to eat. If you need to brush up
on your food safety tips, visit FoodSafety.gov. Right now, they're highlighting
Barbecue Basics.
If you're looking for recipe ideas, we recommend stopping by
the Real Simple website and checking out their Cooler-Friendly
Picnic Recipes. They've compiled a list of 14 yummy recipes that are great
for picnics or cookouts.
So what are your
plans for the 4th of July holiday weekend?
