Summer Time Sharks in the Water Snack
Make Berry Blue Jello gelatin according to package instructions for adding fruit to it in a clear plastic or glass bowl. You can also use clear plastic small cups like the Dixie cup size for individual servings. Add Shark shaped fruit snacks (I use the Kroger brand) and jell. When finished it looks like sharks swimming in the water.

Excerpt . . . It is a chore that many a mother tries to avoid, going to the grocery store with the children. Having four of my own I know how difficult it can be to get the shopping done, monitor my budget, check out my coupons, and follow my shopping list with children along for the “ride” in the cart, that normally ends in them getting out.

How in the world does the 20 Q do it? This little hand held game with artificial intelligence can guess what I am thinking in 20 questions. It is so accurate you’ll wonder just how artificial the intelligence is.
Here’s an example of how it works.
The first questions are always is it an animal, vegetable or mineral. Then a series of yes, no or sometimes questions will follow. The questions are zany but really make you think. Will it fit in an envelope? Would a police officer use it? Can you wash it?
This game is amazing! I love it because the whole family can play. The operator just needs to be a reader. They ask the questions and the partner answers with yes, no or sometimes. This fun travel game has guessed that we were thinking of… glasses, a river, a clock and on and on.
This game provides lots of entertainment on family trips. It’s small enough to throw in a cup holder or bag and has no little parts. Yeah! There are lots of choices of hand held games that kids can play alone in the car but I love 20 Questions because we can all laugh and play together. This one is interactive and isn’t that what the family road trip is all about?
