What says "summer is finally here" better than being smacked repeatedly in the chest by a small child? Lemonade? Sure. The distant jangle of ice cream trucks? Absolutely. Fireworks and BBQ? Okay, fine, we get it. Lots of stuff is more summery than this, but none of those are nearly as funny as the indignation of a child whose father had the audacity to not catch a foul ball that was whiz

It's no secret that kids like to use their imaginations, so one group with a great cause has decided to take that a step further.

Unlike many other politicians, Bobbie seems untainted by scandal -- for now.

During the school year, Ken and I do any number of interviews about our little ones out their waiting for the bus, getting dropped off by the bus or walking home.  Now that summer is here, our kids are out there all the time, biking, playing, running, skipping, jumping and all the other fun things that we did as kids...

Shoppers who have to go out and get gifts for children are continually being warned this holiday season to make sure they know the toys they are spending money on are actually safe for kids.
