Fantastic Word Search Puzzles for Kids Mensa

GENERAL FEATURES: Fantastic Word Search Puzzles for Kids by Sterling Publishing is designed for hours of thinking fun! Mark Danna knows how to create puzzle challenges that children find irresistible. That’s why Word Search Puzzles for Kids, as well as his other collections, sold 149,700 copies. Now, he’s serving up his sixth helping of ingeniously designed and wildly imaginative word searches that smart youngsters will snap up. Each fun grid is a picture (not a ho-hum square) based on the puzzle’s theme, including one shaped like a unicorn for a Fantastic Creatures search. There are rebuses, too, searches where kids have to make up the word list from clues, and puzzles with extra-special, tricky twists. The icing on the cake: each word search contains a hidden message that youngsters can only decipher after they’ve completed the grid. This book contains 96 pages. Approximately 5 3/8 by 8 1/4 inches.

Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve - Southlake

We spent the morning at the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve in Southlake. I just learned about this place last night at a Parks Board meeting I was attending and obviously I couldn’t wait to check it out! There are several different trails near the nature center but we took the main trail that starts at the center, next to this cool old barn. I just love pictures of old barns! Nicholas loved watching bugs run around on the trail… He pointed out critters cra

GENERAL FEATURES: Awesome Word Search Puzzles for Kids by Sterling Publishing is designed for hours of thinking fun! What makes these 56 word search puzzles so extraordinary, so completely AWESOME? For the first time ever, every single one comes in a picture shape that relates to the puzzle’s theme. So, you’ll get such shapes as an ice cream cone (for “Here’s the Scoop”); a bowling ball and pin (”Right Up Your Alley”); a snowman (”Snowed In”); and a boat (”For Sail”). And there’s more: some of the puzzles have rebuses and other gimmicks, and every single puzzle contains a secret message. To see what that message says, go to the grid, find and circle all the phrases on the word list, then read all the uncircled letters from left to right, top to bottom, to spell out a “punny” answer to a riddle, humorous thought, or fun fact. (The letters are in order–but you have to figure out how the letters get divided into words.) That’s what makes this collection a real, Mensa-level challenge! This book contains 96 pages. Approximately 5 3/8 by 8 1/4 inches.

Main Street Days - Grapevine

A week ago we went to the Main Street Days festival in Grapevine. It is a typical street festival full of arts and craft vendors, food, and carnival rides. I haven’t done a festival like this alone with both kids but figured it couldn’t be too hard to manage. Wrong! Our usual parking lot near the entrance was full so I had to park far away at the Convention Center. I wasn’t excited about walking with Nicholas and the stroller to the festival considering the extra traffic that was all around us
