If your little ones (and maybe you yourself) have been missing football season, we've got good news! Trinity Christian Academy is giving away a free, one-week pass to a Little Trojan Football Camp. Camp starts next Monday, June 21, and there are separate sessions for grade-school tykes (grades 3-5) and older folks (grades 6-8). Campers will learn fundamental football skills from Trojan coaches and participate in competitions every day. <div><br /></div><div>To enter, send an e-mail to <i>mediateam@pharrpr.com</i> detailing why your child deserves to attend. Be sure to include a phone number and your child's age bracket! Remember, camp starts Monday so get those letters in fast!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>8-10 and 10-12</div></div></div>Child(ish)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15782432160955503163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31720910.post-41022233960619176162010-06-16T14:25:00.007-05:002010-06-16T14:54:05.212-05:00What to Do Today: June 17<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2kxAEdEMMUVu0GTFx71puJeCc1MlMyab1001cue9Bsypi2hl4msoE-nbfsZln7C6Ugak1BE14P92vMH8UPkGF0gwgvxWqu94DtJuCnTZlcYve11l0K1MsVA5N6LpGwH3DH2S/s1600/arboretum+2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI2kxAEdEMMUVu0GTFx71puJeCc1MlMyab1001cue9Bsypi2hl4msoE-nbfsZln7C6Ugak1BE14P92vMH8UPkGF0gwgvxWqu94DtJuCnTZlcYve11l0K1MsVA5N6LpGwH3DH2S/s200/arboretum+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483460902356196386" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; font-weight: bold; ">DALLAS</span></a><div>Want to get out of the house and into nature?

Children must sit in a booster seat until they are either 8 years old or taller than 4 feet, 9 inches (and, of course, they must also always wear a seat belt).<br /><br />The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advises parents to check the following before allowing their child to ride in the car sans booster seat:<br /><br /><ul><li>Child must be able to sit with back and hips all the way against the back of the car's seat (without slouching).</li><li>Child must be able to bend knees over the edge of the seat and keep feet flat on the floor.</li><li>The child's seat belt must cross over his shoulder and the middle of his chest (not neck) and fit snugly over his hips (not stomach). </li><li>The car's headrest must also be high enough to support the child's head.</li></ul><br />The state's law was amended in September 2009, but starting this month fines will be issued.<br /><br />For more information about child safety, visit the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.nhtsa.gov">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a> or the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.aap.org">American Academy of Pediatrics</a>.Child(ish)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15782432160955503163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31720910.post-13550819714377999802010-06-06T21:00:00.000-05:002010-06-07T08:58:53.882-05:00What to Do Today: June 7<span style="font-weight: bold;">DALLAS</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJW8YtLoU3WmgtvyP6JNP9weZKQjtpSiWg-TJpR8P1Xp1Ygn_imv8FoeHGxKaJdpcRDrhw_pwgg6bXf5bEsDGXeskA_wgxP8EWopBplhiwGrehLdtLGs6a98I5UxDl4vkGoNg/s1600/film.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 172px; height: 129px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJW8YtLoU3WmgtvyP6JNP9weZKQjtpSiWg-TJpR8P1Xp1Ygn_imv8FoeHGxKaJdpcRDrhw_pwgg6bXf5bEsDGXeskA_wgxP8EWopBplhiwGrehLdtLGs6a98I5UxDl4vkGoNg/s200/film.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480030196719003778" border="0" /></a><br />Just in time for the out-of-school boredom, kids and families can watch <span style="font-style: italic;">Horton Hears a Who </span>(and other kids' films) and enjoy a meal at the <a href="http://www.dallaschild.com/calevent.asp?calevtid=17989"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Summer Children's Series </span></a>11am today (through Thursday) at Studio Movie Grill Dallas (at Royal) and Plano. $2 adult; $1 child (food prices vary).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FORT WORTH</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLDXRxi_zwJicFSvcSGMgO-2swdqa7St4TuEEdqtT2625VceyaN53vEj7Ltn0DDs0SHigCzJv7uAnJ-uHp_fqzdSYmH2OUHn84W7SSM7t3XVZBx7SkB6gsQXOr9Zzk369MyQ_d/s1600/Film6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLDXRxi_zwJicFSvcSGMgO-2swdqa7St4TuEEdqtT2625VceyaN53vEj7Ltn0DDs0SHigCzJv7uAnJ-uHp_fqzdSYmH2OUHn84W7SSM7t3XVZBx7SkB6gsQXOr9Zzk369MyQ_d/s200/Film6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480030615445912482" border="0" /></a><br />Tarrant County residents can catch a kids' flick at <a href="http://www.dallaschild.com/calevent.asp?calevtid=17294"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Summer Movies at Harkins Southlake</span></a> 9:45am Monday-Friday (through August 13) at the Harkins Theatre in Southlake.
