Mix fireworks with beer drinking and spoiled potato salad, and July 4th adds up to a busy day for paramedics. While it's good to enjoy the holiday, it's great to do it in moderation (and perhaps nix the plans for the "grand-finale-at-home-fireworks-spectacular.")

Picnics, Barbecues and Food Safety
Picnics are a blast, but unwelcome guests (read: bacteria) may stop by for a visit. They especially love raw meat and potato salad -- two items found at practically every summer picnic. If in doubt, throw it out.

Reduce The Stress of Traveling With Kids
This weekend I'm going on a long road trip. As an adult, I love road trips. But as a kid, I was often subjected to the brutal whims of motion sickness -- just another reason traveling with kids is stressful. Word from the wise: Plan ahead.

Top Picks - Top Walking Sandals  from your Walking Guide
Want a little air conditioning in your walking shoe? Or do you want to kayak and walk in the same pair of shoes? These walking sandals will keep your feet cool while also providing stability, motion control and cushioning.

1) Bite Xtension 2 Running Sandals
Designed for active walking and running, these sandals feature the Xtension 2 pulley strapping system which secures the foot to the midsole of the shoe. This is critical for a good fit to prevent excess rubbing and blisters.

2) Teva Trail Wraptor
The Teva Trail Wraptor has many features of a well-designed athletic shoe, with medial posting, cushioning and flexibility. The Wraptor strapping system secures and cradles the instep and arch shank of the foot. One drawback is that the straps are not as quick-drying as some wearers would like.

3) Keen Taos Trail Sandal
The Keen Taos is a hybrid -- it's ventilated like a sandal but also enclosed enough to be a trail shoe. The patented toe protection keeps your tootsies safe. It has a sole designed to cushion and support on the trail.
