All thoughts and opinions are all my own.  Earth to Echo opens in theaters this July 2nd, 2014 near you.  It will remind you that we may not be alone on this planet after all.  The story begins with three best friends, Tuck, Munch and Alex, all have to move in three days because the city has imposed eminent domain.  New highway construction is causing the fate of the entire neighborhood to be demolished.  All three of the boys feel helpless and sad by everything that is happening.  Two days before the big move, the boys star

Knott' Berry Farm is celebrating 30 years of fun.   To celebrate, they have added 3 NEW rides in Camp Snoopy as well as added several improvements to the park.   Along with the Camp Snoopy improvements, the park is introducing the re-opening of The Calico Mine Ride.  The park looks refreshed and exciting with the educational spark still burning brightly.

Charlie Brown's Kite Flyer has a surprise, Pig Pen's Mud Buggies inspires and Linus Launcher re-creates  flying on a blanket. A NEW ride at Camp Snoopy is the Charlie Brown Kite Flyer, which is a swing that goes up 18 feet.  As the guests ride in the air the kite, the eating tree reveals Charlie Brown upside down and all tied up in kite string.  If you are a fan of Charlie Brown, you know that he believed that it was impossible to tell a kite-eating tree from non-kite eating trees by sight.  It was only until your kite would catch

Pretend City Children's Museum is located in Irvine, CA. It is perfect for  kids ages 18 months up to age 8 years old. The museum encourages play and learning. They have several hands-on activities throughout their space. These activities include art, reading, dancing, driving small cars, shopping with Pretend city money and just having an open space to play with other kids. It is a place to grow young creative minds. This month they are having a great exhibit that I highly recommend for school aged kids. The exhibit is the Ultimate Recycling Machine . The museum is hosting a great hands-on educational activity called  STEM( science, technology, engineering and mathematics)  which combines creativity, collaboration and sustainability. The Ultimate Recycling Machine is designed for school aged kids. The materials used in this activity are items that are rescued from going into landfills.  They include a large selection of cardboard, plastic, fabric, trim, cardboard tubes and

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. I had the opportunity to preview the movie for review only. It all started with a book titled "How to Train Your Dragon" by Cressida Cowell published in 2003. The story of a young Viking boy who struggles to fit in with his community in the Isle of Berk. He is not like the other Vikings and this is a problem for his father, who hopes to make Hiccup the leader of their village. As Hiccup escapes to find peace, he finds a rare dragon.  Hiccup becomes his friend and names him Toothless. Toothless is feared and hunted by all of the Vikings, except Hiccup.  Hiccup and Toothless keep their friendship a secret until they set off to change the minds of the Viking village and save lives.  In March of 2010, the movie based on the book was released for the world to see.  Moviegoers loved the story of Hiccup and the movie was a great success.  A year later,  Dreamworks decided to make How to Train Your Dragon 2 to help continue the story.
