Castle Rock Resort and Water Park

We are going to Branson Mo.!  We get to stay at the Castle Rock Resort and Water Park in Branson. 

 First Day We didn't get to do the water park because it is closed today (Monday.)  We used this day to just rest in the extra comfy rooms.  We are in the Family Tower Room.  My son is so happy and is watching Sponge Bob on his own TV in the bunk bed room.  We got a double bed and TV.  I have never been to Branson so we decided to go out tonight.  More to come...

Almost bed time now.  We had a blast checking out all the Shows and Food areas in this town.  Timmy said he can not wait for tomorrow because that is when the Water Park opens at 1pm... :) See you Tomorrow!.

Tuesday We went out to breakfast and decided to hit the Water Park.  They have two huge slides.  The one here I been on a few times today already.  It goes so extremely fast you hit the water before you know it. 

 Timmy is of course too big for the kiddie play area but he had to check it out.  It would be a wonderful place for the children..

 There are life guards everywhere here and they are so helpful and nice just like the front desk of the Hotel.  Never been treated so nice at a hotel. 
  

  This slide is a single person with out a raft slide.  This one is not near as fast but just as fun with the swirling action.  I am about to go on it again.  

 Yes, That is me coming out and tipping over.  Can not get enough. 


 Now it is time to go out to dinner.  Can not wait for tomorrow morning.  We get the whole check out day to play in the park too.  I love how close this place is to everything.

Off to bed... See you all tomorrow!

Oh My! This place that I never heard of in the Heart of Branson, MO was just the funnest Vacation this family has ever had.  We do not want to leave and Timmy is planning the next trip back already.  I would love to say  Thank you to the Great people at Castle Rock for letting my family have the best trip ever.  We really needed a vacation and this Resort/ Hotel  is simply the best one I have ever stayed at.  We stayed all day laughing and splashing away.  If you ever plan a trip with your family to the Midwest I recommend this great and cozy Resort!

The Ecology Works Products

As you may know me and my son have severe allergies and asthma.  I run around like a crazy person when trying to keep everything clean so we do not get sick.  We are on so many medicines it makes my head spin.  My son is on Three inhalers, 2 pills, and nasal spray just for asthma and allergies.  While I am on one inhaler, two nasal sprays, and one pill.  This is crazy and we keep getting more and more.  I wanted to try another solution before I go back to the doctor and me and my son are taking a whole pharmacy just for this problem.

I found The Ecology Works online from another blogger.  I wrote them hoping and begging for a chance to try their products.  Well, the great people at Ecology Works had the marketing team contact me.  I was so ecstatic.

Here is some info from the site about the products:
quoted from dustmitex.com

Doctors Recommend Allergy Control

According to allergy and asthma physicians, one of the most effective ways to treat allergy symptoms is to eliminate allergens in the immediate environment. Miniscule particles that float through the air such as dust mite remnants, various pollens, mold spores, and animal dander can trigger allergic reactions. Once they are inhaled, allergy symptoms begin to manifest.
Allergy physicians have become aware of the role of our immune systems in fighting common environmental allergens. If our immune system is inundated with too many allergens, our health may begin to deteriorate due to the increased stress our environment is creating upon our immune defenses. Fortunatley, there are pharmaceutical and environmental strategies to help allergy sufferers cope with each of the most common allergens mentioned above.
Here at The Ecology Works®, we take pride in the quality of products we offer those who suffer from allergies. We have over 10 years experience assisting those with environmental sensitivities and we are proud of the environmentally-friendly nature of all our products. If you are sensitive to the quality of the air you breathe, the cleanliness of your home or the clothes you wear, then we can help you with green solutions and products that can help you live a healthier life free from symptoms common to those who suffer from allergies.

Q&A

Q: What are the most common environmental allergens?

A: Dustmites, pet dander, dust particles, and pollens top the list.

Q: How does environmental control of allergens differ from pharmaceutical approaches?

A: Pharmaceutical and drug approaches to the control and alleviation of allergies focus primarily on the body's reaction to common allergens whereas environmental control attempts to remove the allergens causing allergic reactions from the immediate environment of the allergy sufferer.

Q: What causes the body's reaction to environmental allergens?

A: In most cases, environmental allergens cause allergic reactions that are relatively normal but may be particularly accentuated in individuals who are especially sensitive to their local environments. Dustmites, for example, may cause nasal congestion in virtually anyone, but some people may be more sensitive and notice that their breathing is abnormal upon awakening. By eliminating and controlling dustmite populations, normal breathing is likely to resume.

Q: What is the connection between a healthy home and an allergy-free home?

A: A healthy home is likely to be a clean home. And a clean home is likely to be an allergy-free home. However, there are different levels and approaches to cleaning. Just moving dust around to different places in your home is not adequate cleaning. Further, many cleaning products use harsh chemicals that may pose further environmental concerns. A healthy home and environment is a place where the air is fresh and free from toxic contaminants. Couches, beds, carpets, and upholstery must be kept clean as well. Pet dander, skin cells, cockroach debris, and the full litany of environmental allergens must be removed from our homes and kept in check on a routine basis. Regular cleaning throughout our homes is essential to maintaining a healthy home that will likely significantly reduce allergic reactions.

 It is very hard for even some of the cleanest houses to get rid of these and just washing doesn't help.  So when I tried these I was skeptical, truely I am of most products at first.  
 We have been using the laundry products and the sprays and our allergies have significantly gotten better indoors.  I can actually breathe some ( I still have outdoor allergies.)  I am in love with this brand and products.

Vital Oxide Disinfectant: Let me tell you this stuff is simply Amazing! It cleanses at hospital levels! It destroys mold and mildew and helps me keep the place in great shape!

Anti-Allergen Pet Shampoo: I do not know about you but my dog LOVES the outdoors! She plays and rolls in everything.  This is horrible for my allergies.  I been using this product on my miniature dachshund  and it has been helping so much.  

Anti-Allergy Solution: I use this on everything! It is safe on my nice furniture. That fact is great because  my animals (my dog and 2 cats) are like kids all over everything.  

Anti-Allergen Laundry Detergent: Wonderful! kills the bugs inside and out of the bedding.  Save lots of money because I do not have to buy a new allergy case every few weeks.

DustMite and Flea Control:  This stuff has caused my son not to wake up every night coughing on and off from his allergies.  Its amazing.  After using this stuff for a while my son rarely wakes up from coughing.  I used to get so scared because he used to have Apnea and anything to do with breathing scares me.

We had a Blast!  That sums it up.  We went on a Tuesday hoping they would not be to busy.  It was perfect.  We loved it all. 

 First we started off with Miniature golf .  They have a large and fun Golf course that we played 3-4 times.  They had fun facts and cute decorations one each hole.

 

 Timmy's favorite by far was Laser Tag.  He did really well but I remained the top scorer of the family! I loved it we walked through a cute maze that was dark with neon.  You can play teams or everyone against each other.  Can you believe I won at both?

Last but not but not least was go karts.  The funny thing is my son just stops when he gets bumped.  That was so much fun. :)  We had to keep yelling "keep going".   He had a blast and wanted to keep riding.   


In the end the family had so much fun.  To think this little play park that I heard of and never visited before was just amazing.  They have Food, and Arcade, Laser Tag, Bouncies, Batting Cages, Golf, Water Balloon Wars, and Go karts.  It was a pleasant surprise and full of family fun.

Zaycon Foods

How does Zaycon Foods manage to provide such high quality super fresh meat and produce to its customers at such low prices? The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours!

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.

You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars! You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm!

A Zaycon Foods truck sales event often lasts less time than you would spend on a trip to the grocery store, yet you will leave with a whole lot more food than you’d get at the market, and for much better prices, too!

When you use the Zaycon Foods sales event as your preferred place to purchase meats, milk, and any of our other fine products, you get advantages even beyond the bulk pricing that comes with our special sales model. You also have the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you’re going to get! A trip to the grocery store can involve wasted time wandering around looking for various foods spread out across the store; at a Zaycon Foods parking lot meat truck delivery (or milk or berries or fish delivery, too!) you have pre-ordered your foods, so all you have to do is show up and wait for our friendly staffers and volunteers to load up your car. 

Also, unlike in the grocery store, the prices you will pay for a Zaycon Foods product are locked in on our website, so you will know how much you are going to spend before you have committed to a purchase. 

At a supermarket, you might pay one price for chicken on one day, and then a higher price on another day. With Zaycon, you decide that you want to order a case of our fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts, you check the price and then you commit to it, knowing that from that moment on, we are committed to getting you your fresh, natural food!
