The sun helps us synthesize Vitamin D, which, among other important factors, keeps our teeth and bones strong and healthy.  But don’t forget the sun tan lotion – you can get a sunburn in as little as five minutes!  So make it a habit of putting on the lotion every morning to keep you and your little ones safe.
