Keeping the Kids Active This 4th of July Weekend

Author: Jennifer Gold
There is no way around it, summer is HOT! With temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, you may be having difficulties motivating your kids to go outside and stay active in addition to helping them maintain a healthy diet. However, it is important for children to go outside and play, regardless of the temperature!
It is important to remember, that there are lots of outdoor activities that children can participate in even if the weather outside is a little toasty.  4th of July celebrations are a great way to keep your children active for this three day weekend and to allow them the opportunity to eat healthy this Independence Day.
It may be fun to have a 3-legged race, or to toss the Frisbee around. If you have a pool, cool off in the refreshing water! The idea is to motivate your children to enjoy the fresh air instead of staying inside. In order to keep from heat exhaustion, try setting up a picnic under some shade. After a long hot day of exercise in the sun, treat your children (and yourself!) with delicious and refreshing Independence Day Gift Baskets from Edible Arrangements.


It may appear to be difficult to encourage kids to eat healthy during this weekend, but Edible Arrangements is a company helping to deliver a fun and healthy 4th of July celebration. (Maybe you have seen their Fruit Vans driving around town? Apparently they have over 1000 locations!)
Eating healthy and delicious foods are easy with 4th of July gifts baskets from Edible Arrangements. Party planning can be difficult and stressful, especially when trying to create a healthy assortment of foods for your children. Why not throw a unique and healthy 4th of July celebration for your family and friends. An Edible Arrangements 4th July will make it easier for everybody to enjoy a delicious and nutritious Independence Day!
Most people think that eating healthy requires you to eat foods that just don\'t taste very good. However, 4th July Fruit Baskets from Edible Arrangements allow you to keep the delicious taste of your food while keeping the nutrition in them. Since it is a holiday weekend, why not indulge yourself with our 4th of July chocolate strawberries (if you prefer the company also have regular chocolate covered strawberries in milk chocolate!)
