In the not too distant past, family trips were taken once a year as a vacation. Reservations were booked at a specific resort each year and the activity typically involved a road trip cross country. For families of today, life is something to be experienced to the fullest through adventure trips.
Family adventure trips are No. 1 on the list of things to do for families across the nation and it’s not just the young and daring. Travel trips are multi-generational events that include children, parents, and grandparents. In some instances, grandparents eager to explore, educate and share their experiences are taking their grandchildren on adventure trips and leaving parents at home.
The trend has given rise to specialty events and travel options that are tailored to the desires of the individuals. An increasing number of family groups are choosing to visit foreign lands, with Italy, France and Spain being top destination choices. However, a significant portion of the population is choosing unconventional destinations such as Iceland, the Galapagos Islands, India and Japan.
Still others that are on the hunt for a truly unique experience are taking the road less traveled and booking trips to go whale watching, hot air ballooning, dog sledding, and to visit the Great Barrier Reef. African safaris, sleeping under the Northern Lights, and sand surfing in the Sahara are other options. Snorkeling in exotic locations, volcano surfing, and swimming with dolphins are also popular activities.
For those that want adventure without the risk that comes with extreme activities, water parks and theme parks remain popular, but a substantial number of those seeking something different are choosing outdoor activities at national parks and other locations where they can view wildlife up close, go flying across sand dunes in a buggy, zip line across tree tops, or enjoy an authentic western experience.
No matter what the age, there are millions of people seeking something new and different and family adventure trips top the list of the most highly sought activities. There are adventures to accommodate every desire and interest, allowing anyone to live boldly.

School lunches are the bane of parents everywhere. There’s no guarantee that even if you prepare your kid’s “favorite” foods that they’ll eat them. Trying to create healthy selections can be even more difficult. The good news is that there are multiple combinations that can be created with some ingredients that are cost effective, visually appealing, and healthy.
Any type of fruit or vegetables that kids like should be on the menu. One of the tricks parents can use to persuade kids to eat their veggies is to cut them into interesting shapes. Boiled eggs and cheese sticks are always welcome. Kids also need carbs and they can be found in the form of mini muffins and items such as Goldfish crackers.
To add variety, instead of a plain sandwich turn the fillings into a wrap using tortilla shells – a grilled cheese roll up, for example. You can also create unconventional options such as a peanut butter, jelly and banana burrito. Pizza toppings on toast are also delicious.
Sliders that are perfect for little hands are easy using dinner rolls. There’s something about food on a stick that’s particularly appealing. Try placing favorite sandwich ingredients on a mini skewer. Just because its lunch time doesn’t mean the meal can’t encompass breakfast foods. Combine sausage links, mini pancakes or waffle sticks, with fruit and a container of syrup.
Don’t overlook the value of leftovers like tacos and chicken wings. The idea is to offer variety so kids aren’t bored, ensure they’re eating a healthy lunch, and you know they will be since you prepared it yourself. It should incorporate a combination of protein, fruits, veggies, and carbs.
When preparing kids’ lunches you shouldn’t underestimate the value of sauces and dips, along with items like single serve, prepackaged hummus, veggies and fruits. They’re nutritious, convenient, and you don’t have to worry about keeping them refrigerated.
There will come a time in every person’s life when they consider pet ownership or their child asks for a dog or cat. The decision to adopt a pet of any type shouldn’t be undertaken lightly. A pet is a lifelong commitment – their lifetime, not yours. Animals are living beings with feelings and needs – not a disposable accessory.
It’s your responsibility to ensure pets are fed, vaccinated, have the physical comforts required, and children are taught how to treat the animal with kindness, caring, and compassion. No matter how much your child begs, you need to honestly evaluate your child’s maturity level before adding a pet to the family.
With Christmas behind us, many people are looking ahead and preparing for their New Year’s party. You don’t have to settle for a traditional gathering when you have the option of incorporating bounce houses, inflatable slides, carnival games, mechanical rides, fun food machines, and photo booths.
All kids will benefit from social activities, but it can be especially difficult for parents to choose appropriate pursuits for young children. The level of involvement will depend on the age of the child and it’s best to engage in non-competitive activities for very young children.
