FUN FIND - Glow Sticks

-

 Do you remember how fun those glow in the dark thingies were. At Disneyland or any time you were out past your bedtime. 

You can find these in shapes, sticks, bracelets you name it. I just picked up a Glow-Flower at the $1 store. Called the Waste Management Sub-Station by my friend Kim. 

So don't forget to pick up a few before your next camp trip with the kids.
