We are going on a trip to Long Beach California, and wanted to know where a good beach that would be safe to swim in the area. We will have a car so we will be able to drive to it as long as it is worth the drive.


Answer
Corona Del Mar is good because it has somewhat of a enclosed beach unlike newport or Huntington where you can lose kids...it is more of a family beach..but GOOD parks for a good time are Santa Monica's pier, Venice is cool for the adult workout toys..

Balboa Island is cool because it is a bay and there are no waves..but you can cross on the ferry to the peninsula where there are TONS of things to do...it is kind of the Coney Island of Orange County..

What are some fun things for young kids to do?

We are having a family reunion later this month and there will be lots of kids from 2 to at least 8. What are some fun ideas to keep them entertained?


Answer
1. Make mini cup cakes........put a plastic table cloth out on the patio.......along with cans of frosting and jars of sprinkles.....they can decorate their own then.

2. Buy some nerf balls of all sizes....and nerf bats. They will have their own baseball teams. Set up a small basketball hoop for others you want to do that.

3. Buy some beach balls and blow them up and some with the weights in them too.....they are wacky balls. Have them laying around they will do what ever with them.

4. Have some jars of bubbles sitting outside.

5. If you will be where you can let the kids run under a sprinkler head they will love it. You can buy a nice one like at Target that is raised up in the air..........

6. Have an area where all of their stuff is set up and CD's playing with interactive music........like the hokey pokey and stuff like that. If you don't have the cd's go to your library and see if they do.

7. Set up a canopy with a tv.........and some blankets on the ground..........they can go in and watch cartoons.......you know the old fashioned type......porky pig........bugs.....etc........get them from your library.

8. get some foam and make nerf horse shoes.......

9. Make up a clown head out of a super large box.......cut out a large opening for the mouth........the kids will soon try putting their nerf ball through it.

10.Get some construction paper and crayons at the dollar store.........they can draw if they want to.

11. If you will have tweens or teens.......let them get a good short story book......and they can read to the smaller kids....

12. Have some Large nerf blocks or plastic blocks in a tub and they will soon be creative.

14. Have their own snack table set up so they can serve themselves to apple wedges.....carob dipped bananas....peanut butter in celery with raisins....Mellon balls........mini muffins....mini healthy cookies....yogurt in the long plastic bags..mini boxed juices in a tub of ice....If they have never eaten it.....or said they disliked it......they won't want to be outdone and will gobble it down.

15. Have a watermelon eating contest with small slivers of watermellon.

16. Cloth boomerangs and cloth frisbees.

17. White kitchen size trash bags with a draw string.......the kids will love picking up trash.

18. Have some small puzzles set out on boxes.......you have covered with white plastic covers.......you can get ones where they are for 2 to 8 years old........don't go over 50 piece puzzles though........


Using nerf products and cloth products will avoid injuruies to the children and other people attending.

Go to a Dollar Tree or a 99 cent only store (if you live in CA, AZ, NV, or TX).........you can get tons of safe toys cheap.......
