Slime Time

Slime is still popular and it's even better when your children can make a mess somewhere else!  Chick-Fil-A (27th and Nolana in McAllen, TX) reached out to RGV DADS for their "It's Slime Time" event on July 17.

I started RGV DADS on July 1 and have been working to partner with various organizations for kid-friendly events.  RGV DADS mission statement is Creating opportunities for fathers in the Rio Grande Valley to network through meetups, blogs, and sharing information about fatherhood.

 It was over 100 degrees on July 17 and families were in a line that wrapped around the Chick-Fil-A restaurant!  The Chick-Fil-A mascot was in attendance to interact with the children and was available for photos.

My daughters and their friend were able to create slime by visiting a few stations to acquire the necessary ingredients.  The Chick-Fil-A employees are known for their customer service and hospitality, and they did not disappoint!  
Amazing Chick-Fil-A Employees
I really enjoyed the gentleman that was dressed as a Mad Scientist.  He posed for a picture with the girls and was in full Mad Scientist character!

A couple of RGV DADS made it out to the event, but we did not get to spend too much time with them because there were so many people.  Also, we decided to eat dinner there and Chick-Fil-A hooked it up with free ice cream and cookies!

 RGV DADS looks forward to partnering with Chick-Fil-A again.  The event was FREE and organized.  I was able to meet the Owner/Operator of this restaurant, Luis Magdaleno, and found out he is getting married soon.  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is an opportunity to show our children love and it does not have the break the bank! NEVER sleep on Dollar Tree!  I was able to find quality, yet inexpensive, glass votives for roses.  I had an existing rose bush that I had been caring for and that is where I picked and trimmed my roses for my daughters.   While at Dollar Tree, I picked up some boxes of chocolates that they liked!   Don't. Forget. The. Card.  Spend some time choosing a card that matches the recipient.  Write something meaningful in there and they will cherish it forever.  I did not splurge for the balloons, but Dollar Tree has those too! Roses | Chocolates | Cards The reality of societal pressures gives us an opportunity to display our love for our family on this holiday.  We love our family EVERYDAY and we show it! Jesus T.

The Home Depot - Kids Workshop

The Home Depot offers a Kids Workshop once per month.  The event is FREE and provides a great Do-It-Yourself (DIY) opportunity for you and your child! First, you need to register online for the event:   Workshops The event at my Home Depot is held outside in the Contractor Pick-up area.  Prepare to stand for a long period of time and bring a water and/or snack depending on the age of the child.  Some wipeys to remove paint from hands would also be helpful. The time of the activity is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., but you should show up at about 8:50 a.m.  The event states "While supplies last."  This applies to the DIY project, aprons, pins, and certificates.
