Did you have a great 4th of July?

Do you have your plans made for a relaxing rest of July?
   • Patio furniture ready?
   • Sunscreen out?
   • Grill fired up?

The 4th of July usually means pool parties, boat rides, BBQs, and relaxation.

So, how do you eat healthy amidst all the hot dogs, chips and ice cream?

First step is to practice mindful eating. “Mindful eating is a technique that helps you gain control over your eating habits. It has been shown to cause weight loss, reduce binge eating and help you feel better”

When you mix water, pizza, and slime, what do you get? A pizza pool party for those who have signed up for the summer reading program at the Ada Public Library. On a sunny and hot Wednesday afternoon, 176 club readers took advantage of the fun day which began with a swim, followed by free pizza, and finally sliming. Library Director Rhett Grant and Natalie Walton, youth services director, got slimed with a gooey mix by those in attendance. The library sponsors many events during the summer reading program. Here are kids enjoying cooling off under the pool umbrella.
