Father's Day at Maquoketa Caves

I am so proud of myself for planning a great adventure for our family to surprise my awesome hubby on Father's Day. I asked around and found a great state park not very far from our house. We went to Maquoketa Caves in Iowa.

It was spectacular and I can't wait to go again- next time we are going all out and buying head lights to go deeper into some of the caves!

Here is the happy family out hiking and exploring! I was very proud of my kids for being brave and doing a lot of walking.

This is looking out from inside the huge opening of one of the caves. It was so peaceful!

This picture is one of the views as we were walking down to get to one of the bigger caves.

This boulder was huge and just balancing on this small section of rock. It was very neat!

I just enjoyed the green in this picture and looking up!

They are becoming best friends!

Following daddy across the stream! We had some awesome leap frog-ers!

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy ever! Hope you had a great day!

I could go on sharing more and more pictures but I will stop and just let you know that if you are ever in Iowa this is one place I highly recommend! It was free too!! :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
