Hawaii Snorkeling - An Underwater Paradise!

2006-10-22T04:15:00.000-07:00

Hawaii snorkeling is a fun activity available to almost any skill level of swimmer, where you can discover a breathtaking array of Hawaii's most exotic sea life a few yards from shore. Colorful coral, lava flows, turtles and more than 700 species of fish are found in the clear, high- visibility waters warmed to an average temperature of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Getting yourself outfitted is no problem, as there are dozens if not hundreds of rental facilities around, ranging in price from $10-20 day, and if you're staying at a resort you can possibly score free equipment available to their guests. Once you're outfitted and ready for some Hawaii snorkeling, head out to some of Hawaii's best snorkeling venues. Likely the most well-known of

Cheesecloth ghosts

2006-10-22T04:14:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite Halloween crafts that the kids love every year is making cheesecloth ghosts. You take some cheesecloth, soak it in a solution of water and sugar (or some people use fabric stiffener) and then drape it over some kind of form. You can use quart jars, soda bottles or even balloons. You want to make the shape into a type of ghost form and then let it dry for 24 hours or so. After it's dried you can take it off of the form and decorate however you'd like. A cheap, fun Halloween craft.

Very simple but beautiful. After six years, it still comes out every year to be hung.
