Wet N' Wild Las Vegas Amusement Park and Rides- Review

 

 

   In 2012, Nevada locals got the plans to a super amazing amusement park set to open 2013! I personally could net be more excited. The last time I visited Wet n' Wild Las Vegas it was 1999. My son who is 16 now was only a baby. Our local Junior High and High Schools would close the park down and have the park all to them! I remember going while in Junior High and High School myself!

 

   I wanted to give the new and improved Wet n' Wild a full year before I even considered going. Only because I knew it would be packed it's first year and all the kinks may not be worked out quite yet. I got my tickets for the weekend which also came with some Xpress passes. (Wet n' Wilds front of the line passes). Unfortunatly I became sick with the "NV Summer Flu". Something that never happens to me but, I think it hit me on purpose. Luckily my kids got to go and my brother and his daughters went as well! I will be turning my blog over to my 16-year old son for the review portion.

 

 

My Beautiful Neices at Wet n' Wild- Las Vegas We are Family!

 

I personally had a great time. I hate to say while my Mom was sick. But, hey..it's true. This is the first time I have ever been to a water park. At least one that I can remember. With the Xpress passes it was super fun. We scanned them then came back and got straight on the rides. I was planning on spending the whole day there thinking I would only get to ride some of the rides. I was actually able to ride EVERY ride two to three times each. And we even decided to go on a Friday! I have to say. I'm not sure how other parks will stack up to this experience. I almost feel like nothing could be better. It was a blast and I wish my mom could have went!

 

**I don't think he really would have wanted me there**

 

 

 

According to my son his favorite ride was the Royal Flush Extreme. The Royal Flush is true to it's name. It is a type of water slide where riders come from a steep drop into a round bowl. You circle the outer area of the bowl then exit down through the middle. It is the ride that is red and white, picture is below.

 

 

Wet n' Wild-Las Vegas is the perfect amusement park for Nevada. When tempatures get up in the 100-115 degree zone what better amusement is there then cold water and super fun rides?

 

I think this next weekend I am going to make my first trip to the NEW- Wet N' Wild Las Vegas.

Fun times await!

Missy Mila DVD Review + Giveaway

Review DVD+ Giveaway

MISSY MILA VOL.1

What little girl doesn't love a good fairy tale? How about if the "princess" was a tomboy? Who cares right? In this day and age a little boy or little girl can really grow up to literally be anything they want to be. There really is no limit to the dreams one child can dream. There is no ceiling too high. Check out Missy Mila Twisted Vol. 1 and you will see your child's eyes get bigger and brighter when they meet this wonderful 8 year old Missy. This is a very well done DVD and I would recommend it as a gift to a newly enrolled preschooler or kindergartner. The graphics and colors are bright and keeps the attention of the most figgety kid. Molly's imagination has no bounds. She tells her fairy tales with a great twist. I knew this DVD had to be something when our three year old was silent and paying close attention for the whole DVD. I really understood the impact when I was asked to play "Milly" over and over again. I waited to see if she would remember the DVD after a nights sleep and sure enough, I awoke at 7:00am to the bug pushing the DVD under my pillow and saying..." Mommy, Milly please?" I have a feeling this DVD will get great use!

 

Mila is an 8-year-old quirky, energetic tomboy who loves to tell you traditional story-tales but with her own twist. Kids will be inspired to use their imagination and to become storytellers themselves. Audience participation is triggered by Mila's direct-to-camera asides all along the episode; her questions and games bring kids right into the story. Join Mila, laugh at the zany dialogs and fresh art in this innovative series which explores the world of classic tales.

Traditional tales are timeless stories that everyone loves to delve back into, generation after generation. Far from old-fashioned clichés, the series “Missy Mila: Twisted Tales” revamps this cultural heritage through the imagination and spontaneity of a present-day little girl. Mila’s stories are peppered with spicy anachronisms and offbeat re-interpretations. So, don’t act surprised if you see a prince applying hair gel before setting out to rescue a princess, unless the latter is a kung-fu champion, that is! As for the dreadful Minotaur, Mila prefers to picture him as the Toupouloupou, a sweetie pie with a sweet tooth. And why do the wolves always have to be depicted as the bad guys? And, in her very personal adaptation of the Three Little Pigs, Mila swaps the awfully shy big bad wolf for an affable bull that… rocks!

Missy Mila Volume 1 includes the episodes: The Hidden Princess, The Toupouloupou, Baba Yaga the Witch, Djoha’s Last Lie, Piboule and the Bear, Strabiwolf the Telltale, the Donkey and the King, The Houses of the Pig Brothers, Elvis, Captain Bloody-Nose the Pirate, The Leprechaun’s Treasure, Aurel the Mocker, Pancho Pimento’s Riddle. Volume 2 includes Toadette the Frog, Prince Gabo, Miss Lazy, Bigmess the Ogress, The Mermaid’s Secret, The Ghost Who Couldn’t Scare, Quentin and his Dragon, Tounde the Ginormous Elephant, Rodolphe and Carlo, Chantal and Noemie, Greedy Liza, Tinytiny, The Two Tinanooks.

Book Review "Knowing Vera"

Book Review

Knowing Vera

By: Rachelle Ayala

Books for me are an escape. Whether they are fantasy, romance, mystery or even horror. It's most likely after the kids go to bed and a time for my brain to focus on something different. It's my time to step into whatever story I want. Not to escape but, just time for me to not get all caught up and being the usual worrier I can be.

Cover of

After reading Rachelle Ayalas' mystery/thriller Knowing Vera I was well on my way to becoming a true fan of her writing. Within the first couple chapters I fell deep into her character Vera. It was almost as if I could personally tell you anything you wanted to know about Vera, her current position and some of her past. This book really hit home with me. Without giving too much away, I'd just like to mention that Vera is a very complex character with true feelings and like I said before right away you feel like you have been along side Vera in her journey. I usually tend to put mystery novels in a category with sci-fi fiction and typically not a book I would choose while scanning the pages upon pages of Amazon or Goodreads.

 

I am so glad I had the opportunity to take the time to really dive into Knowing Vera. I would highly recommend Rachelle Ayala as an author. There is no mistaking that her writing is A-class top of the line. You almost get a feeling that your diving into someone's personal life. I kept wanting to check and double check to make sure that this was a fiction novel and not a non-fiction biography.

Excerpt from Knowing Vera:

Vera Custodio has never fallen in love, though she has strong feelings for her friend and sometimes lover, Zach Spencer. Long-forgotten memories resurface when Vera discovers Zach’s mother was the woman her father supposedly murdered many years ago.

After losing his leg, former triathlete Zach Spencer reevaluates his life—and realizes he’s falling in love with Vera. When she ends their relationship, Zach is determined to prove his love and follows her to Australia in search of the killer.

Caught between a web of family secrets and a deranged adversary, Vera and Zach must depend on each other for survival. Love blossoms, but the truth explodes everything Vera knows about herself. Will she close her heart forever or risk it all for a shot at happily-ever-after?
