Cerreta Candy Company

One FREE thing to do in Phoenix that is always fun for kids and adults alike is a trip to the Cerreta Candy Company! They offer FREE 30 minute guided tours Monday-Friday at 10am and 1pm. You always get a free piece of chocolate (well I always have when I've gone!) but the trick is to leave without spending a bunch of money on CANDY!!

Anyone wanna plan a field trip?? Let me know and I'll advertise it here on my blog and maybe we can even join you!!

Cheap Movie!!

Kung Fu Panda this Sat (June 11) at AMC Arrowhead. 10 am. Tickets only $3!!!!

Our church rented out the theater so it's first come, first served until the tickets are gone!!

Text me if you want a ticket and I'll reserve one for you! Abbie and I can't go (she has a meet) but Tim and the other kids will probably be there!

Fourth of July Question!!

This will be the first year in many that we don't travel to California for the Datria Family Reunion on the Fourth of July!! Our kids are sad so we'd like to do something to build some AWESOME memories on the 4th this year! Have any of you gone to the Peoria All American Festival? Is it worth the $5 admission fee (we'd have to pay $20 because two of our kids are over the age limit)...will the kids be bored or is there enough fun things for them to do?? Is it a trap inside to just get us to spend more money?? These are some of the things that plague me about the idea...we've never been...

Do you have any other great ideas?? We can buy fireworks in Peoria but it's illegal to set them off here...so where CAN we set them off??

How do you make the 4th of July special??

VBS!!!

VBS is always a FUN and inexpensive way for our kids to have some fun during the summer!! We are attending VBS at Horizons Community Church and the theme is Hometown Nazareth...I know we'll have a blast!!

**I just found out online registration is closed for Horizons...but there are signs for VBS all over the Valley, I'm sure you can find one near you if you're not connected to a church...or if your church doesn't offer one**

FREE fishing June 4th, 2011

This looks super FUN!! I don't know if we'll make it because we have VBS set-up tomorrow but I wish I could go! If you go...let me know how it was and we'll post a review!!

Saturday, June 4, Mormon Lake Lodge Pond (south of Flagstaff), 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. As part of the Outdoor Festival at Mormon Lake, the Arizona Game and Fish Department Flagstaff region, in cooperation with Mormon Lake Lodge, is offering a free fishing event among other outdoor activities for the whole family.

Here's a link to the complete list of events for this weekend and next weekend!! Enjoy!!

Mighty Mud Mania

The Mighty Mud Mania is coming to Scottsdale on June 11th! It's FREE and loads of FUN!! Be sure to wear tennis shoes that can get muddy, although there are usually loaners if you get stuck...also, it was SUPER hot last year and we about died in the heat so bring LOTS of water and wear sunscreen!! When you are done you can hose off and take a refreshing dip in the pool!! For more info go here http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/mightymudmania

**Thanks to Lori K. for pointing out my posting error...things done late at night need LOTS of editors!!
