As summer approaches, our children are getting ready to sleep in, watch TV, play outside and generally take pleasure in each day that school is out. For parents, it is also a time to work on activities with their children, and a time to make sure they will not forget the academic skills of the preceding school year. There is no doubt that children are sponges soaking in information and knowledge, but they also need to have fun. So this summer here are a few activities and ideas that will keep you and your kids busy, having fun, and continuously learning. |

 The bond is powered by knowing that no matter what happened at school that day, your horse will be eagerly waiting for you to come ride.
What makes girls and horses inseparable? This bond is powered by the gentle touch of a soft horse nose sniffing for a sugar cube, or the excitement of wind rushing through pulled-back hair as horse and rider canter across the arena. Ultimately, the bond is powered by knowing that no matter what happened at school that day, your horse will be eagerly waiting for you to come ride. |

Many parents are concerned about their child’s first dental x-ray and some even consider not using this invaluable diagnostic technique because of their concern of radiation exposure. While it is understandable to have this concern, it is important to understand the facts, risks, and benefits of x-ray technology. |
