We kicked off Summer with our Summer Fun Party at Timbuk Toys in Lakewood. And what a fun afternoon it was! It is always great to spend time with our loyal readers and meet new friends. 

The clouds opened up for the day and we enjoyed the sun for our party, it couldn't have been more perfect!

Thank you to Macaroni Kid and to our fantastic sponsors, we had a lot of great products to eat, test and play with. Many got to take home prizes, everyone took home goodie bags brimming with fun stuff.

Here's the rundown of the great sponsors that made our day happen:



Applegate
- We munched on Applegate Naturals Beef Hot Dogs, the dogs you can count on to be nothing but Beef, Water, Salt and Spices. You can certainly taste the difference! They also supplied us with Sir Kensington's Classic Ketchup and Mustard and buns from the Vermont Bread Company.



Purell
- America's #1 hand sanitizer provided us all with NEW Purell Hand Sanitizing Wipes for the added convenience of cleaning visibly soiled little fingers and hands. These came in handy because we played hard before eating!

Simply Fun
- SimplyFun, the company that know's children best learn life's most valuable lessons through play. They have created a line of award-winning learning games and activities for kids ages 3 to 103! We played High tail It!and had a blast!


Hasbro
- Two NERF Super Soakers were in the house! The Nerf Rebelle Super Soaker Tri Threat Crossbow and the Super Soaker Flashflood Water Blaster were definitely BIG hits. Both said to hit targets of up to 35 to 38 feet away and we tested that theory. Sure enough, they blasted as advertised.

Dippin' Dots - Ice cream created by a process of cryogenic encapsulation.....rather, a super-cold freezing method to make little beads of ice cream!  They deliver to your home, and they delivered to my home...enough for our big party! We had enough to keep everyone happy. Individual packets so everyone could choose their favorite flavor. We had cotton candy, banana split, rainbow ice, birthday cake, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies n' cream...you name it, we had it. Everyone enjoyed a flavor they love! Have a party coming up?
