My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review The Game of THINGS... by Patch Products with my family.  When it first arrived, I played it with my husband.  We laughed so hard because he has a dirty mind and he could come up with some naughty answers.  Since it is for ages 14+, I can see why they put that age group on this game.  We decided to try it with the kids who are almost fourteen and ten.  They came up with some really good answers that were clean and pretty funny.  I could tell my son wanted to say some things that were inappropriate but he held back and just giggled.  It was pretty easy to guess who said what when we played with the kids.  The next time I have a party, I am definitely bringing this game out.  I think it would make a great game for my son to play with his friends as well.  Overall, I loved playing it and look forward to playing it again with an older crowd.  I definitely would recommend The Game of Things... to anyone who enjoys a great laugh.  You can check out the website or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Youtube.  Sign up for the  Patch Pals newsletter and save 10% on your first order!  From games to puzzles, construction sets to educational tools, there’s something for everyone at Patch!

My Review

 

I recently had the chance to review the new Bejeweled Frenzy game with my family.  My kids and I were excited to try this out since we love to play Bejeweled on my Nook Color.  After setting the game up to play for the first time, the instructions were a little confusing.  We kind of just made our own rules as we played.  The next round, we read deeper into the real instructions and they made more sense.  It is a fun game to play but I would prefer the app, personally.  My kids really like this version and play it all the time.  I would rather have them play a hands on game then be stuck in front of a video game.  So overall, I would recommend Bejeweled Frenzy to anyone looking for a fun new game to share with their family.  You can purchase it HERE and check out all of Hasbro's other great items.  Be sure to follow Hasbro on Facebook or Twitter as well.

My Review:

 

I was recently able to take my family to Fort Rapids for two days and one night.  My husband and I took our two kids and my nephew on our way home from visiting my family in Kentucky.  We actually live about 3 1/2 hours from Columbus so making this a pit stop made it much nicer.

 

 

There was plenty of things for the kids to do but not too exciting for us adults.  We did enjoy the Blackout waterslide shown above.  It is a waterslide that you go down and it is completely dark!  Then you swirl around in this giant tube and get sucked down another black tube.  It was really fun and unique.  I spent most of the day in a chair watching the kids and in the adult's hot tub.  They also had a fitness room but I didn't want to leave the kids. 

 

 

They gave us the Bryce Canyon Suite which has a private bedroom in the upstairs loft with one King Bed and Private Bath, and an oversized studio with two queen beds and a queen sleeper sofa.

 

 

The room was like an apartment!  The upstairs and downstairs rooms both had huge televisions and bathrooms.

 

 

After spending an entire day at the water park, the kids were tuckered out!  We ordered pizza in and called it a night.  They had a blast and are begging to go back soon.  I would definitely recommend Fort Rapids to anyone with kids.  You can check out their website or follow them on Facebook & Twitter.
