I was reading this interesting article in The Chicago Defender, that I thought I would share with you. It’s a must read for all parents with children who love to play in the water.
The ninety degree days has finally arrived and the children are making their way toward the beaches, swimming pools, splash pads and in some cases the fire hydrants to stay cool and have tons of fun in the sun.
