Beach Holidays for Fun in the Sun

Everyone loves beach holidays! The little ones can dig in the sand and splash in the lapping waves. The older ones can swim, get a tan, or just relax. The inquisitive types can explore for sea life, tide pools, and drift wood. The warm breezes and natural beauty are invigorating and restorative. Any trip, however, can cause discomfort if you do not plan well. Here are things you can do to make your beach holidays easier, safer, and more meaningful.

In many parts of the world, people head for their beach holidays in the family car. When planning a trip, it's always a good idea to give the car a good cleaning out first. This will give you more room for your luggage. Stock you glovebox, too, with a few first aid and comfort items, such as sunblock, acetominiphen for headaches, a roll of antacids, a few cough drops, and a few bandaids. Don't forget a couple of scrunchies or pony-tailers for long hair. Get the tires checked and replace any that are likely to go flat. Get an oil change if it's getting close. Road trips are not much fun when they include breakdowns. And whatever you do, make sure you have a map and a place to keep it handy.
Travelling with kids is always a challenge. They may be particularly excited and impatient when they know they are going on beach holidays. Make sure they have cool water bottles and healthy snacks to munch. Try a simple car game to make the time pass. Many kids like looking for letters of the alphabet on signs. If several people get involved it can be quite fun.

With beach holidays particularly, there is always a need to provide for skin safety. Be particularly careful about being in the sun for long stretches of time between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Use a sunblock with a high SPF rating and replace it after getting wet or drying off with your towel. The towel you choose can make a difference too. Thick towels get heavy and tend to trap a lot of sand. You may find you like thin towels at the beach. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and some sort of foot protection to keep your feet from being burned on the hot sand.

With a little preparation your beach holidays can be enjoyable and problem-free. When you arrive home you will be relaxed

The Sadnes

The stars they sink
In the oceans of ink
Long black ribbons of cars
And in the taxi
You ask me how I'm doing
But you already know

Beyond, beyond is not through
Its only a reflection of you
And something at the window
It motions with its fingers
Calling me beyond

The sadness is mine
The sadness is mine
Its why you're not helping me
And whatever has come for me
Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
Just take it and spare me spare me
Please oh tell me this is only a warning, no
Please have mercy let me go
If only a day to let her know
Without her love I'm nothing at all
The change is happening and I'm almost gone

In her heart is my faith
And it wins against the sadness

The train it moves through the desert
The horses they will challenge its stride
And into the boxcar she leaps
And is my hero
And penetrates the demons inside

The clouds they pass
But they're moving so fast
As I watch them collide
Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child
I am at one reborn

The fog in the mote
As he grabs me by the throat
It lifts as she comes
She opens her cloak and the color of blood
It is the sign of what now must come

Deny deny me my destiny
I am not ready to go
I am the horror that brings us to the morning
Where I will have to stand and fight God

History of Games

Game playing is an activity thats dates back well beyondrecorded history and probally arrivedsoon after peoples themselves. Ball games, For instance, where probaly firs played with stone thrown by youngsters as a way of preparing for the hunt - or for defending the tribe or attacking enemies. Then people started to polishand shapes these stones to make them round and good for throwing.
Archacologist have foundstones like theset hat date back at least 5.000 years.

Over the countries balls have been made from stone, papyrus, marble, wood, and terra cotta, or sewn together from animal hides and stuffed with hay, kapok, sawdust, or seeds.
It was not until the early 19th century that the solid, bouncing rubber ball was first introduced.

Race and tag games had similar origins. Participants built up agility and strength for the hunt-and no equipmentwas needed, except for a pair of study legs. Other games may have evolved out of ancient rituals. Apple Ducking has been traditional Halloween game since medieval times but may have it roots even earlier in Celtic Britainand teh festival of samhain.

This was when teh worlds of the living and the dead where believed to move closer togehter and past, present, and future where said to merge.
When the Romans conquered Britain, they brought with them the apple tree and its fruit. which respresented the goddess Pomona. who was assosiated with fertility.
The Celt belived teh apple had special power to predict the future.

During their celebrations their young people hade to bite into apples were floating in water-and the fisrt successful couple whould be tehe next to marry. There is world of the diference betweenthe supposed origin of this game and the extravagant manner in which the young King Edward V11 of the England is said to have played Apple Ducking in the mid 19th century, with the apple bobbing in wine bucket filled with chapagne!

It is however, hugily difficult to pinpoint the exact origins of many games. Most have been around for every long time, and although early records such as an ancient tomb painting may be evidence of game's existence, it does not help determine whether the game originated in the culture or was simply adapted from somewhere else. Centuries of migration, trade , war, and travel have carried games all arround the world.

Art and Crafts

YMCA of HongKong is open course for learning making Craft and Candle making. Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a new arts and crafts idea for your kids? Or maybe you are a recreation director at a senior center or nursing home and could use a new project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This glass case can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a necklace purse. And theres so fun to learn makes on it

To make the glasses case, you will need the following simple materials: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut two rectangles from the foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) by 6 inches (15 cm.). With a hole punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1/2 inch apart and allow at least 1/4 inch between the hole and the edge of the craft foam. The holes need to line up so that the two pieces can be laced together. If you are preparing the craft for small children, you should make the holes yourself. Otherwise, the crafters can do this step if you have enough pairs of hole punches.

At this point the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of ready-cut foam shapes. If you are doing the craft at a special event, like vacation Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For instance, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, such as boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the kids choose the shapes they like and glue on as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the crafters are a little older.

The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn might be a little easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of small children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. The children can now begin to lace the front and back of the glasses case together.

To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a piece of lanyard lace to each corner making a long handle. Kids will enjoy using this case as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they'd rather, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting for all.

A Final Appeal

I'm beggin' ya for the sake of your world and mine
"I'm beggin' ya" is the plea of last resort. It's hard to ignore the pathetic wail of "I'm beggin' ya". If you're wavering about trying to start an everyday exercise habit, I'm beggin' ya to read this page. I'd make puppy dog eyes at you if I could. If enough people read this, it could change the world. Sappy and unlikely, but I had to make the heading work.

You've probably got a lot of time to be miserable or happy in

" Really think about the years and years before you; "Today is the first day of the rest of your life" sounds great, but a more cynical and alarming version is: "You'll never be any younger than you are right now". Or how about "In every day in every way, you're getting older and feebler". Your physical condition declines little by little, then functionality, then you die. Dying, or course, is inevitable, but if you exercise and eat right, you can drastically slow down the other. But going by most people, you probably won't.

Or, to put it another way: A lot of horrible things can happen to you between now and when you die. You can decrease the chances they will. But, going by most people, you probably won't.

It doesn't look good for most people, so don't be them

Maybe I can scare you into starting at least

Maybe you just don't think it's in you - I disagree
