Five Summer Getaways Every Kid Should Experience #GreatGetaways

It's Summer!!

Well~not quite but it is sure close! And with Summer~means that the kids are soon going to be out of school and looking for something to do. It used to be that everyone was thinking about going on vacation but with the economy the way that it is~I think that more people are going to be looking for things to do closer to home! So~I have thought of "Stay~Vacation" Experiences~

Here are my Five Summer Getaways Every Kid Should Experience~



1~The State Fair~ There is just so many things to do and see.It is a great way for the kids to not only see all the different animals but see and learn about our state.the Midway has something fro everyone. Not to mention the food~as I went last year with my daughter an the grandchildren and I think that we ate enough food there to last us until next year! But everything was so good and you knew that you had to sample it. 


2~The Library~Not only are there books to be read.But if you look at their papers they have many story times for the kids all summer.They can play on the computers~so no more fighting over one.They also can get some great DVD's to watch at home on those rainy days! 


3~Go to the Museum~There are so many things to see here..And I love that there are hands on experience on most of the displays. As it really gives the kids a chance to try different things.They can learn about all the different cultures and see how they really lived "way back then".

4~Visit Family and Friends~
I know I am guilty of not going to see my family that lives less then a hour away from us.But this Summer we are all going to make it a "Must" do for us.As it is silly not to see loved ones that live so close by. It only costs a tank of gas{if even} and think of the free fun you can have on the road.As there are many travel games to play~like how many different license plates they see in 10 minutes.And~when we plan ahead we might even have a BBQ!

5~Go To The Beach~
It is so much fun~as the water is always inviting and the sand is warm. Who doesn't love to build sand castles and then watch the water wash them away later?!? Pack a lunch and some beverages in a cooler and you can make a day out of it!

PAAS Easter Egg Dye and Heinz Vinegar Review

Easter is early this year,so we decided to dye eggs last night. You know that the Easter Bunny has got to get the baskets ready so we need to help with the coloring.{So~I am told by my grandson} We were super excited as this year we were sent some new PAAS Easter egg dyes to try.       This year, PAAS has seven new egg decorating kits, including Volcano Eggsplosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create fun, fuzzy shapes on your Easter creations! For the brightest, most vivid colors, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar to a PAAS Color Cup or a one-cup container. Once the tablet has dissolved, add ½ cup water and stir gently.      According to the PAAS  more than 180 million eggs a year are dyed with PAAS dye!   Also, to help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking, add two tablespoons of Heinz Distilled W

Summer is in full swing~so chances are you are spending more time outdoors. Not only should you apply sunscreen but also make sure that your lips are protected. As there is nothing worse then dry~cracked lips. I have been using Carmex for as long as I can remember. I was so excited to see a package arrive from them! Carmex has a new flavor~Pomegranate. This new scent is awesome~I love it! Not too sweet and it makes my lips feel so smooth just like the others! Along with the Pomegranate flavor, they also sent me all their other flavors that I already use~lime twist~ cherry~original~vanilla and strawberry. Each Carmex lip balm has a SPF of 15 to protect your lips from the effects of the summer sun. So~you can wear these without having to worry about the bad rays! The Beach Bag that was sent it also very nice! It is a thick canvas and has the rope handles. There is also a little bag inside that zippers to keep your keys,loose change ect..I am loving this bag~it
