How’d He Do That?

There are more teachers like this one who attempts to make learning fun. Our good teachers take the time to step away from the normal and at times boring way of teaching. Watch to see how this teacher spoke to his students.

Silver Dollar City Celebrates!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

Years ago, our friends told us about the wonderful vacation they experienced at Silver Dollar City. Their boys were little at the time and are now grown men so I know this vacation was taken many years ago. They still talk about how much fun they had on this trip!

Silvery Dollar City is celebrating 50 years of fun! When visiting this wonderful theme park you will delightfully step back in time to an 1880′s craft village filled with the best crafts, thrill rides, family attractions and festivals. You can even cruise aboard the Showboat Branson Belle as it cruises Table Rock Lake.

My mother in-law loves to tell the story of how, when my husband was a small child, he yelled out for Alvin the way Dave did in the song from Alvin and the Chipmunks. I guess he was pretty loud and got everyone’s attention. LOL Alvin does that to everyone. I love Alvin.

It has been years since I have bought anything chipmunky but I will admit to having watched their latest movie at the theater. I cannot resist those cute little characters, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Now you can see More Munk Mayhem when you purchase the new DVD, Blu-ray and/or Digital Download NOW. Now that my son got my shuffle working, I can even download the Chipmunk’s iTunes. This double DVD Pack includes “The Squeak Along” Bonus Disc and gives you and your kids music, mayhem and all-new singalongs!

Yes, the family friendly film, “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel”, is going to become your family’s favorite entertainment event. Have fun! You can buy it now and visit the website to have fun with the “munk’ yourself” feature that lets you dress the characters in the jazzy clothes of your choice. You’ll also want to visit the Fox Family Flicks Website and see what trouble those cute little munks are getting themselves into now.
