Gypsy Divers in Raleigh

For several months now, Owen has been taking swimming lessons at Gypsy divers here in Raleigh. With summer here, I cannot stress enough the importance of pool safety and that swimming is not just a sport - but a life skill.

We love Gypsy Divers! The classes are small, indoor pool, excellent staff and teachers, and very, very affordable!

There are always fun events, summer camp, and even offer birthday party accommodations! For those of you with older children or who have always wanted to learn to dive, they also have a wonderful dive program!

Childs Play Party! Gogo Crazy Bones - Fun for all ages!

On Easter Sunday, we were fortunate enough to host a Child's Play Party featuring Gogo Crazy Bones! We had just recently heard of this toy and were excited to share it will all of our family and friends!

First we had an Easter Egg hunt and let the kids find their Gogo's - this was really fun! We then went on to play Gogo games...the kids had a blast and even the grown ups got into the action. The children really enjoyed trading the Crazy Bones and using the stickers and albums too!

It really was a great day! Originally, we were to have the party the week before, but as many of you know many areas and neighborhoods and areas of NC were hit with several Tornadoes....our continued thoughts and prayers go out to all as we count our blessings.

Most of the kids had not heard of Crazy Bones, but by the end of the party, were totally hooked! As a Mom, I appreciate the quality and value of this toy - along with the learning and fun games!

Thanks to all who attended....it was great fun!
