Summer is right around the corner! If you have kids, this may be a stressful time, trying to figure out how to keep them active for over two months, without break-ing the bank. Whether you’ve got preschoolers or teen-agers, Family eGuide has some great tips.

• First of all, set some rules for screen time. Spend-ing time in front of the TV, video games, and com-puter can become a habit quickly. If kids know there are clear guidelines right from the start, they’re less likely to whine on a daily basis about “turning off.”

• Let your kids plan activities with you. Have them share some of their favorite activities. Give them ideas about activities they may not have considered. Then put together a bucket list - things all of you re-ally want to do before summer is over. Keep the list handy, and have the kids cr oss off activities as you complete them.

• Be sure to include friends! Kids are always more likely to enjoy an activity if they have someone their age to share it with. And they’ll be more willing to try new things, too!

So, where do you begin? Start in your own backyard. Teach your kids some

classic games (Hopscotch, Red Light Green Light, Freeze Tag, etc.). Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten the rules... that’s what Google is for. Start a garden. Set up a tent. Create an obstacle course or scavenger hunt. Eat watermelon in big wedges or make your own snow cones. The ideas are endless.

When you’re ready to venture out, visit one of our local parks. It may be a habit to go to your neighbor-hood playground, but we encourage you to try differ-

ent parks, as well. Some local favorites include Kids Kastle in Highland Village, Memorial Park in Lewis-ville (shaded areas and bathrooms), and Staton Oak in Flower Mound (great for the little ones, and lots of shade). Head to the pond with food for the ducks or your fishing poles. Start out early to avoid mid-day heat.

Then check out all of the free and discounted activi-ties provided by our rec centers, libraries, and local businesses. Many offer great summer reading pro-grams, movie clubs, and more. Libraries bring in spe-

In October 2006, Drs. John and Rebecca Gomez opened Rapid Med Urgent Care Center on FM 407 in Highland Village.

Rapid Med excels in patient-focused care that offers treatment for a broad range of services and acuity, ex-ceptional value and high efficacy treatments. The staff at Rapid Med are committed to strong community in-volvement as evidenced by their support of schools and sports teams in the communities they serve.

In mid-April, Rapid Med Urgent Care will move into its own building at FM 407 and Chinn Chapel Road in

Double Oak.Dr. Rebecca Gomez is a native of the Dallas-

Ft. Worth area, having grown up in Coppell. She attended the University of Texas Health Science Center and completed her residency at Scott & White Memorial Hospital in the De-partment of Family Medicine. Dr. Gomez has a special interest in women’s health and nutri-tion, in addition to attending to minor emergen-cies and office procedures.

Dr. Gomez treasures the opportunity to get to know her patients and to be involved in the community. She is an active member of First Baptist Church Argyle and serves as a Cub Scout Den Leader. Dr. Gomez and her husband live in Argyle with their two sons.

Dr. John Gomez was born in Venezuela but spent most of his childhood in Texas, his father a Spaniard and mother an American. He attended the University of Texas Health Science Center and completed his residency in the Scott & White Emergency Medicine program.

While working as a full-time physician in several hospital emergency room settings, Dr. Gomez recog-nized the inefficiencies and lack of personalization that were preventing him from practicing the very best medicine for his patients. He developed a perspective that a more streamlined, patient-centered approach was both possible and a necessity, whether it be in urgent care or primary care. This vision became Rapid Med Urgent Care.

Dr. Gomez maintains a special interest in ultrasound and sports medicine with emphasis on concussion management. He currently serves on the LISD Con-cussion Oversight Team (COT) as physician advisor. Dr. Gomez enjoys his close relationship with the local athletic trainers and Flower Mound High School.

The physicians and physician assistants at Rapid Med are highly trained and are instrumental to its suc-cess. All providers have extensive Emergency Medi-

Do you love swimming, dance and gymnastics?

Learn the basic skills and perform a routine on the last day!Participants must be deep water safe.We also offer rolling enrollment and free trial classes.

Flower Mound Community Activity Center (CAC)

cial entertainers throughout the summer. Cities and towns schedule an array of free concerts and outdoor movies. Some local theaters offer weekly G and PG rated movies in the morning for a discounted price.

Consider memberships to local rec centers and attrac-tions. If you know you’ll be going to the aquatic center or the zoo frequently this summer, it may be more affordable to simply purchase a membership. And you’ll love the freedom you’ll have, knowing you can visit for an hour or two whenever you’re schedule allows.

Attend a local festival or special event! Summer is filled with great events like the Denton Air Show and numerous 4th of July activities.

Sign the kids up for a summer camp. They’ll have fun, and you’ll get a much needed break. There are options out their for every interest, age group, and budget (there are even a few free ones). Visit Family eGuide’s Summer Camp Page at the link below for details on area camps.

Check out cool smart phone apps and websites for out-door fun and learning:

Geocaching.com (A global treasure hunt.)Star Walk (Hold your phone to the skies to see maps of the various constellations.)Satellite Tracker (Track satellites over the earth)Take a tour! Your child can learn the inner workings of

the local police station, fire station, grocery store, or the-ater. Sports arenas such as Cowboys Stadium, the Ballpark in Arlington, and Texas Motor Speedway all offer tours as well. Visit their websites for details.

Finally, relax. While kids enjoy lots of stimulation and activities, they need a little downtime, too. Be sure to stock up on books and games for some family fun at home.

For more information on all of the activities and camps mentioned, as well as a comprehensive community cal-endar which includes many more local events, visit www.familyeguide.com.
