Okay, tonight is your last night to enter any ideas you have for the new K-1 Slide. The K-1 Men's directors and I will be deciding on the four finalist tomorrow. THEN, if you are in the four finalist we will be sending you a link to send to all your friends to vote for your name. The one with the most votes will win!!!!
I must say...ALL the slide names are ten times better than what we could have come up with here at Kanakuk! Stay Tuned!!!

Kanakuk Parties This Summer
Okay girls, in a couple of weeks we will be meeting with all the leadership team to get ideas on what to do for our four parties. I would love your input. Give me some ideas by emailing me at reno@kanakuk.com So....here they are
Two Week Terms 1,3, and 5 AND first half of the 25 day term is
Galactica Spectacula
This is all about the future, space, robots. Think what the iniverse/world could look like in 100 years.
World Fair
In the early 1900s many countries would get together and have a World Fair. There, they would show off all the things they had invented, all the things they do as a culture, and all the things that they eat. What would a World Fair look like today in 2010? Its all about experienceing different parts of the world and what they do, eat, and have in their countries
Two Week Terms 2,4,and 6 AND second half of the 25 day term
K-Extravaganza
Everything has to do with the letter K. Games, food, activities (and remember in the Kanakuk world...all things that start with a c can really start with a K if you want them to!)
Color Catastrophe
Everything has to do with colors. Maybe the color is taken from Kanakuk and we have to fight to get it back. Think of anything games or activities having to do with colors. What could we do that is colorful...what would you want to do.
Okay, email me at reno@kanakuk.com with your ideas or you can comment on this post!

Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland
I went to See Alice in Wonderland this past weekend and I thought I would write about it. It has been rated PG. First of all, I knew that this movie would be kid of quirky and maybe a little bit dark because Tim Burton is the director. I love Disney so Lee (my husband) and I decided to try it.
What I loved:
1.) It was more quirky than anything and since Alice in Wonderland is naturally quirky I appreciated that
2.) I loved that it was her second time back into Wonderland and how it showed her going there in the first place.
3.) I loved the real life characters of Alice's Friends.
4.) I liked the Mad Hatter's Character. Yes, a little weird...but he is Mad right?
5.) I loved how Alice showed that she was kind to others even if they hurt her to begin with (if you haven't seen it...you will see what I mean)
What I didn't Love:
1.) Somethings were a little down right scary. Like the Jabbowoki, the animal in the beginning. I wouldn't take little ones to this. It could be scary at times, but I think 12 and up it would be fine (maybe 11 year old that don't scare easily)
2.) I didn't love how they played up the Red Queens "Off with Their Head" statements. That was a little gory (and could be scary)
3.) There wasn't any american "cuss" words but a few English (Brittish) phrases that I think are kind of negative. I do believe they say "God" a couple of times...not my fave.
For the most part, I really enjoyed the movie, but I would caution you parents...don't take your little ones...it is too scary.
By the way, if you ever want to check out what a movie is like before you go see it check PLUGGED IN by focus on the family. Its really a great tool to pick great movies.

New Slide at K-1!!! You Can Name It!
Guess What! We have a new pool slide at K-1. Yep, this is the picture (obviously its not at the pool in the picture but they just installed it!) No, its not a new slide by the big stairs but this slide has replaced the one at the pool. Remember the slide that looked like a really big playground slide....well its gone and this one is up!
Well, you can enter a contest to name the slide. Just think, you could leave your legacy on K-1 even when you leave. Think of all the K-1 Attractions that have names - Janeland, The PartyBarn, Geronimo (the white Slides) Even every cabin has a name. We need a name for the new slide! So, here is what you do. Today, your parents are getting an email with a link to the contest website. You have to enter the contest through that link. If you parents didn't get the email check the Junk mail through your parents email (sometimes big emails go there) Click on the link in your parents email and enter what you think the slide should be named. We will pick 4 finalists and then we will pick the winner. All four finalists will get a prize! Here are the prizes:
1. GRAND PRIZE: Star in our 2010 Kanakuk Movie. You’ll take your cabin to a Pizza Pool Party at the K-1 Pool. While you’re there, you’ll be filmed going down the new slide to be featured in the 2010 Kamp Movie.
2. 1st RUNNER UP: Kauai Water Park. During a rest period, you and your cabin will go to K-Kauai to experience the best water park Kanakuk has to offer!
3. 2nd RUNNER UP: Fast Pass. For one day, you have a fast pass to the front of the line at every attraction at K-1. Waterslides, ziplines, you name it, you won’t have to wait in line that day!
4. 3rd RUNNER UP: H2O Balloons and Slip-n-Slide. During a rest period, you and your cabin will have a H2O Balloon fight while enjoying the fun of the Slip-n-Slide.
Have fun and I can't wait to see your entries!!!

10 Fun Things to Do with Friends at a Sleepover
Okay, so it is getting close to the weekend and I remember when I was in elementary/ junior high my favorite thing was to ask my friends over to spend the night. Some of my best memories with friends are at a sleep over. So here are some fun ideas to do with your friends.
1.) The Walmart Game (this would require a ride and supervision from your parents and a little bit of money.)
What you do: go to walmart and split into two groups in the parking lot. Each group gets 5 dollars. They can't have any other way to pay (no purses no extra change in your pocket, just 5 dollars) You walk into the store at the same time and say hello to the greeter at the door (walmart always has one) Look at her name tag and whatever her name is you have to go find an item in walmart that starts with everyletter in her name and buy it....and only spend 5 dollars. The team to do that first, get through the check out counter have all your items and have a reciept that proves that you have only spent five dollars or less....wins and gets to call the other team to front via the intercom. Remember...no running...there are other walmart customers out there. I have done it before and won! The greeters name was Darylene. Here is the break down of what I did
D - Dentyne Gum (25 cents) A - apple (80 cnets) r -ring out of the 25 cent gumball machine y- a peice of yellow felt (20 cents) L-lace (had the fabric lady clip a 10 cent peice from 1.00 per yard fabric. e- egg (cadbury kind) 50cent n-napkin (free at the subway in walmart) e -eclipse candy bar (1.00) Total: $3.10
#2 Watch a Movie here are some of my faves
- Highschool Musical 1,2,3
- Newsies (love this one!)
- Hannah Montanah Movie (cute)
- Annie (the old school version)
- Enchanted
#3 Make a Music Video - Get a video camera, some music, dress up and lypsync away.
#4 Make your own pizza (with mom's help) and bake Cookies
#5 Cover your book, binder, or bible with modge podge magazine/newpaper clippings (fun words and pictures)
#6 Dress up, have a photo shoot (maybe mom or dad could help) and make picture frames for the pics!
#7 Have a Dance Party - Its just your friends so have fun and make up some new moves!
#8 HAve a water balloon fight in your back yard (pick up the pieces when you are done)
#9 If you have a safe neighborhood and trust/know your neighbors you could have a scavenget hunt (have your parents make a list of fun things that you could find)
10.) Make Icecream Sundays!
