How many trips to Virginia Beach will you be making this summer? Are you planning to stay for a week or just a weekend? Will you be renting a house with your family or staying in a hotel with friends? Whatever beach scenario you play out, you are sure to have a lot of great new memories by the end of the summer.

Know How To Swim

At first glance, swimming looks easy but until you get into the water, you really aren’t sure of your talents. The ocean is extremely unpredictable. It helps to have a basic understanding of how to swim. You don’t need to practice like an Olympic swimmer but it would help to maybe take a few lessons. This is vitally important for children. Don’t think that they will know how to swim by just putting them in the water. Enrolling them in swim classes will be a great opportunity for them to learn all the basics.

Swim Near a Lifeguard

Lifeguards are posted along the shore to keep visitors safe. That is why you should always swim near a lifeguard. Additionally, you should also swim with a buddy. Many drownings involve people who are swimming alone. If you do get in the trouble and you have a friend with you, then they may be able to help.

Check In With the Lifeguard

Not only can the lifeguard help you if you get in trouble in the water but they will be able to tell you what conditions are like before you get wet. Lifeguards are constantly monitoring rip currents, water temperatures and the weather. They will be your best source for this type of information.

Use Sunscreen and Stay Hydrated

By now, you should be well aware of the potential dangers of exposing your skin to prolonged periods of direct sunlight. You can get the glow of a tan and still protect your skin. Along with sunscreen, you should also constantly be drinking water while at the beach. It’s very easy to become dehydrated which leads to heatstroke. It’s the kind of thing that can sneak up on you.

Secure Your Beach Gear

If you head down to the beach and see a lot of people flying kites, then you know it’s going to be windy. You need to take extra precaution securing your blankets, towels, chairs and especially your beach umbrella.

If any of your beach gear is broken or frayed, then you should consider replacing it before your next trip. To make room in your garage for the new beach gear you’ll want to clear out the old beach gear. That is where Junk King Richmond is going to be a big help. All it will take is one session with these junk removal experts and your entire garage will be clear of all its unwanted clutter.

 

Toddler Backyard Birthday Party Tips

Summer is a time for backyard parties. If your toddler is turning a year older this summer, then you’ll want to put that backyard to good use.

Tip #1: Pick a Theme

As with all great parties, your toddler party needs to start with a theme. Even before you send out an invitation, you need the theme. There is where you can get your toddler involved with the decision making process. They will most likely have a favorite TV show by now. Chances are whatever that show is, there will be plates, napkins, balloons and cakes to match.

Tip #2: Don’t Go Overboard

Yes, parents do tend to go overboard with the parties. It’s not uncommon to have a bouncy house, a balloon sculptor, a magician, a clown and a petting zoo. Truth be told, any one of those would be enough for a party but you don’t need them all.

Tip #3: Set the Timer

How many invitations have you gotten for a party that reads, “Starts at 8:00 until…?” That’s the open-ended kind of fun that adults live for. In the toddler realm, it is much better to put a time limit on things. Two hours max should be the limit. By a half hour into the party, you can do your “main event” entertainment item. An hour in, it’s time for the cake. Once the candles are blown out, the cake is eaten and the kids have run off that sugar it’s time to pack it up. In, out and nobody gets hurt.

Tip #4: Always Remember It’s a Kid’s Party

Although the mommies and daddies will be invited, it is still a kid’s party. You don’t need gourmet appetizers for the guests. You want the kids happy: Pizza, ice cream and cake work together very well.

Before you fill up one balloon you want to make sure your backyard is ready for the party. This is where call to junk King Richmond can be a big help. You may think that your backyard swing set would be a great feature for a toddler birthday party. However, if that swing set has seen better days and is starting to rust and fray, then you might be better off having it removed before the party. The crew from junk King Richmond can certainly handle that task along with removing any other type of yard waste or debris.

Make your toddler happy with a clean backyard party full of fun and lots of cake!
