Hotdogs, fireworks, and patriotic excuses to wear only red, white, and blue. We love the 4th of July. Keep the holiday solid this year with the following Do’s and Don’ts.
Do's | Don'ts |
|---|---|
Stay active by playing water sports with family and friends. | Swim alone, dive in shallow water, or swim in unsafe waters. |
Store fireworks in a cool place and use them safely. | Start your own firework show if they are illegal in your state. |
Keep a fire extinguisher in sight just in case of firework or BBQ malfunction. | Set off fireworks in areas with bushes, dry grass or trees. |
| Pick up leftover sparklers, wrappers and paper from off the ground. | Litter. The street isn’t your garbage. |
| Eat Dad's monstrous grilled burgers or Mom's sweet corn on the cob. | Leave food out more than one hour. It can cause food poisoning (esp. w/ mayo and egg products). |
Grill outdoors and be careful with lighter fluid. | Wear loose clothing that could get caught in the grill. |
