Jackass 3D

The long awaited continuation of the Jackass group was beyond words this time around. After hearing and reading reviews about the disgustingly tasteless pranks, I have to admit I laughed more this time, than the other movies they created. I was thoroughly grossed out by a few stunts, but of course that's to be expected.
This is not a movie for kids. Mr. Party Boy enjoys being nude.
Rate: A
Buy: Theatre and DVD
Rated R (plenty of language, nudity, and vomiting)

Harry Potter Series

Let us start with an amazing book series. When an author can take characters through seven novels, and keep her audience interested through the final page, you know she is a legend.

J.K. Rowling did just this. Book one introduced the reader to various characters and the trouble they face as new wizards. As each book came out each character(that survived the previous book) then encountered a new list of fun, drama, and turmoil. Within this series readers found laughter, hate, and tears. 

If you compare the books to the movies you will find a very good similarity between the two. What you won't find is the entire novel. This is the reason the final book is being split into two movies. They just can't skip any parts. Can I say thank you for that.

Overall Rating: 5/5 ☺

Readers: 10-Adult (parents use your judgement on latter books for younger children)

It's Apple Time

Fall marks the calendar for our counties apple season. Oak Glen Orchards is closest for us, which is located near the beautiful San Bernardino mountains about 90 minutes from Los Angeles. Families can enjoy a day in the orchards to hand pick your own or purchase previously picked apples. Each location offers various types of apples, and may also include fresh juice, treats and entertainment. Small shops and restaurants are located in the middle of town with happy local residents ready to serve you.

Snow Line Orchards is home of the famous Apple Cider mini-donuts as seen on television. They also offer U-Pick raspberries. Just watch out for those bees. An original 1898 apple shed, three flavors of cider, and the state's oldest chestnut tree. This is our favorite to visit.

Parking is sometimes difficult so be prepared. Keep in mind that many orchards offer school tours during the weekdays. If you decide to wait towards November make sure you check online or call to make sure they're open. Many orchards close after apple season.

Who can resist home made apple pie? Not anyone in my family.
