Sunshine and Sunscreen

Well, summer is fully upon us!  School is out.  Children are everywhere.  The pools are open!  Birds are singing.  Dogs are barking.  There is plenty fun to be had out of doors under the hot, blazing, Texas sun.  Whether you or your family are out riding bikes, flying kites, picking daises, playing catch (or maybe even fetch with Fido), be sure to apply some sunscreen before heading outside!  Not only are sunburns painful, but they increase an individual's chance of developing skin cancer later in life.

For more facts about how, when, and what kind of sunscreen to apply, see the following:

Be safe.  Have fun!  Use sunscreen.
