Well another week has came to a end, and heading into a 3 day holiday weekend to celebrate Labor Day. Many of you will be hitting the beach, the lake, or river getaway or breaking out the BBQ pits and sitting back with friends and family and catching the many football games starting the season.
There are many ways to spend the weekend but remember to keep it safe and enjoyable for everyone. Make sure to have the essential items in case of any emergency that should arise. A list of emergency numbers including the poison control center, local emergency numbers if your out of the area, and contacts for family members.
Also good to have on hand are emergency medical kits containing basic first aid items such as bandages, aspirin, antibacterial cleaner for scrapes and cuts, aloe lotion for those sunburns, and calamine lotion for the inevitable rashes and allergic reactions.
Taking care while cooking and lighting a fire are also important. Keep children a distance away while lighting a pit. soak the charcoal first with lighter fluid and make a small pyramid of them, makes it easier to light and burn.
Most important plan for the occasion, make sure you have a good idea of how many guests or family will be attending so as to know how much of everything you'll need to ensure everyone gets served and there is enough to go around. One way to insure this is to ask people attending to bring an item. that way they can also bring something they might prefer to eat or drink and help save on expenses.
Overall have fun enjoying your guests and have plenty of games or entertainment for the kids, and the adults. If your going to drink, ensure everyone has a safe way home or a designated driver. Labor Day is a time to enjoy the company of our loved ones and to relax, keeping everyone safe, happy and in one piece will ensure many more to come.
