Summer iS here, let’S keep our kidS Safe!As the Houston summer heat sets in there is no doubt many of us

will be heading to the community pools for a little relief. Although the pools and play areas can be a great source of entertainment for us and our children it’s important to remember some key safety tips to keep our kids safe this summer.• It’s important to know the warning signs for heat exhaustion: heavy

sweating, paleness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps or fainting.

• Stay close, be alert and watch your children when at the pool or the playground.

• Do not consider your child “drown proof” just because they have taken swim lessons.

• Floatation devices are not a suitable substitute for supervision when your child is in the water.

• Teach your child basic pool safety tips like no running, no diving in shallow water and no horseplay in the pool area.

• Be courteous and respectful of your neighbors and other children while at the playground and pool.

Congratulations to these Yard of the Month recipients for May 2011!

Good Luck next month. You might be picked next!

ocean SunSet “cocktail”

Use clear glasses to show off the crazy colors of this summer drink! The Blue-and-pink Ocean Sunset “Cocktails” are bright blue on top with a pink glow at the bottom. The red cherry looks like a setting sun. Use your judgment to purchase enough for the number of guests you’re expecting.

iNGredieNtS• blue raspberry drink, chilled • Grenadine or raspberry syrup • Maraschino cherries • Ice cubes • non-alcoholic ginger beer, chilled (optional for adult

servings only)

CookiNG iNStruCtioNS1. For kids’ drinks, pour blue raspberry drink into glasses first,

then pour a teaspoon of grenadine or raspberry syrup into each glass.

2. The syrup will fall to the bottom, creating a dark pink layer (Tip: Do not add the syrup to glasses before pouring in the fruit drink or the colors will mix and you won’t get a layered effect).

3. Drop a cherry into each glass and an ice cube. 4. For the adult version, make the drink half blue raspberry

drink, half ginger beer, then follow same steps to finish. 5. Serve immediately.
