Jack and the Beanstalk (2010) Review
by Kevin Chertkow | Posted in: movies
This is an unexpectedly pleasant movie. The movie pretty much follows the foundation of the Jack and the Beanstalk story; however, with very modern twists. For example, Jack has to sell his C.O.W. (Computer Of Wonder) a pocket video game system instead a literal cow for a handful of magic beans.

Tips for a safe and happy Fourth of July
by Kevin Chertkow | Posted in: outdoors
Fourth of July is the greatest. The smell of barbeques cooking all sorts of meats around the neighborhood, the children running around screaming with excitement as they wave around sparklers.

Jump Start
by Doug Warburton | Posted in: games
Jump Start is a 3D world of adventure. This is a fantastic game, but really is so much more than just a game because it always continues and doesn't just end with the classic "YOU WIN!" I have seen my children respond and react to this better than I have seen them want to watch a TV show.

Camping
by Doug Warburton | Posted in: outdoors
Camping is one of the all time bonding experiences. It's great way to get out of the house and spend quality time with the family as well as remind us of all the luxuries we sometimes take for granted. Most importantly for me, it is the best way to relax and leave the stresses of life at home and just enjoy my daughters. You don't always have to plan a big elaborate trip sometimes you can just go as far as your backyard.
