  Campfire treats can be enjoyed even when the campsite is just in the backyard. S'mores and hot dogs can be easily prepared with a simple, small cooking fire in a corner of your yard. And kids can help take part in the fun by cooking their own servings.

• Sarah Coyne: Sick baby requires extra care

  It's harder, though, when the suffering little one is an infant. Most medicines aren't approved for use in kids under 2 years old, and even if they were, it's hard to be sure exactly what their issues are if they can't yet speak for themselves.
