Not All It's Cracked Up To Be - Disney Eggs

You have seen the commercials for Disney Eggs. The kids begged me for them and my son does not eat eggs. I keep telling them they are the same eggs we buy, but they have a Disney stamp and cost twice as much. This week at King Kullen the Disney Eggs are on sale, plus I have a coupon. So I finally gave in and brought them - mainly because eggs are one of the three healthy things that my daughter eats.

We got them home and the eggs have different color stamps on them of Lightening McQueen, Tow Mater, Wall-e, Eva from Wall-e, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. My daughter likes her eggs hard boiled and once they were boiled the stamp wore off. Ahhhh!!! What a dud! I won't be buying them again. I guess if you are trying to get your kids to eat eggs it might work. And the inside of the eggs are just like regular eggs - I know the commercial makes you thing the yolk is Mickey Mouse.

The Beach Is Back!

We went to Davis Park on Fire Island this past weekend and the beach is huge! Over the winter there was a huge restoration project going on. They did that last year too, but one storm wiped all the sand away. This year the sand stayed and I cannot believe how big the beach got. It looks like the Davis Park of 15 years ago before The Casino fell into the ocean. Last year at high tide the water would go up to the dunes and under the houses. That will not happen this year. Did they steal the sand from Robert Moses? A few fields are closed there due to erosion. =)

The photo is of The Casino - look at all that sand!
