Twister with a Twist

A friend from high school told me about this twisted idea.   
You play the game TWISTER with dish soap and water.  
It becomes very slippery, but it also cools you down.  
Can you imagine the slipping and sliding 
and falling on this twister board mat?  
How fun would this be to do it with a 
girl/guy that you are just so totes in love with?
There would be so much love....and soap flying around.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

1.  Dish Soap
(You can buy it at the dollar store.)
2.  The game of Twister
(If you don't have it, borrow it)
3.  A Water Source
(A hose or buckets of water)



High Flying Kites

The weather is nice.  
Like really really nice.  
 Lets hope it stays this way and it doesn't snow again.  
I love doing things outside, especially when the weather is 
warm and wanting to hang out with me.  
So todays inspirational, exciting date idea is inspired by the weather.
To be more exact, the wind.
That one factor in the weather that makes those really 
hot days cool down just a little bit.
So, what do you do with the wind blowing?

FLY A KITE.  



I just bought my significant other a kite at the local Dollar Store.
They are really cheap on amazon so check it out.  
(average being about 8-10 dollars)

...FIND SOME PLACE WINDY AND BREEZY...
...BRING SOME SNACKS...
...AND SOAR AWAY...

Two Dates and One Idea

DATE #1
day 1: make your own chalk
wait 3 days for the chalk to dry
day 4: draw at the park outside 
and save left-over chalk for...
DATE #2
the color fest

DATE ONE
only $20, but if you do it with a group, 
it could be anywhere from $5-10

DIY make your own chalk
What you need:
                              1.  Toilet Paper Roles...(start saving)
                              2.  Wax Paper...(1-3 dollars at Walmart)
                              3. Duct Tape...(3-5 dollars at Walmart)
                              4.  Tampera Paint...(2-4 dollars at Walmart)
                              5.  Scissors...(borrow from neighbor)
                              6.  Small Disposable Bucket...(find at the DI)
                              7.  Plaster of Paris...(8-10 dollars at Walmart)
                              8.  Plastic Sandwich Bags...(2-3 dollars at Walmart)
                              9.  Warm Water

And then click HERE to follow the 
instructions of making your chalk.  

*Remember it takes 3 days for your chalk to dry.
So I would make the chalk and then invite the same dudette/dude
 back to use it in the park or driveway.
For married peeps, you don't really have
 to invite each other back to use the chalk,
you should just always be around each other, madly in love.
For married folks with kiddos...
this is such a fun activity to do as a family,
consider it family science project.


DATE #2
about $20
Click HERE to read about the 
COLOR FEST.
Yes, the color fest.  
A festivity of chalk throwing.
When:  March 30, 2013
Where:  State Fair Park
155 North 1000 West
Salt Lake City, UT
(chalk throwings are held every 30 minutes)
The neat part about it, is your proceeds go to charity
-your lady/hunk will think more of you when they 
see you care about others-  

Admission is $5.00 
comes with 1 bag of chalk
Parking is $5.00
or take trax for $4.70/person
Additional Bags of Chalk is $5.00
This is where it gets expensive.  It is a R.I.P OFF to buy
a bag of crushed up chalk when you could make it yourself.
If you are smart, you will follow the advice and bring
your own bags of chalk with you.  This way you are only spending
$5 for 4 bags instead of a whopping $5 per bag.
