For those of you wondering if visiting Cedar Point during the Halloweekends is worth it, please read this post.  My husband and I took our 3 kids to Cedar Point a week ago during the first Halloweekend!  We had SO much fun!  Our kids are ages 8, 5, and 3.  This was the first visit to Cedar Point for each of them.  The park was very nicely decorated!  I could definitely tell all of the hard work that they put into their decorations!!  They truly were amazing!

During Halloweekends, the park is open on Fridays from 6 pm – 12 midnight, Saturdays the park is open from 12 noon – 12 midnight, and on Sundays the park is open from 12 noon – 9 pm (except Sunday, October 10th, the park is open from 10 am – 10 pm).  We went on a Saturday and there was so much to see and do that we never even made it to frontier town!!  My kids kept busy all day long.  The loved the Peanuts Halloween Show and Kids Costume Contest.  My kids did not dress up, but some kids were dressed in costumes so either way is fun!  My oldest went through a couple of the haunted houses and he was a little freaked out, but not too scared.  I would not recommend these for the younger kids though!  The nice thing about their haunted houses and other special attractions is that they have them rated with a number letting you know how scary it will be so you will know whether or not to take your kids through these! 

We also went to see the Sideshow – A Carnival of Magic located on the main midway and this show was really cute and great for kids of all ages.  It combines music, dancing, and magic! 

Definitely put this on your list of things to do in the next couple of weeks while they are still open!  We are so glad that we went and plan to visit again next year during the Halloweekends.  Perfect fall weather is a great time to go!!  For more information, please click HERE.

Please note that this was not a paid post. This review was written based on my own experience while visiting Cedar Point. A Special thanks to Cedar Point for supplying the tickets to write this review.

Many of you may have already read about this, but just in case there are moms out there that have not heard about it!

Abbott Voluntarily Recalls Certain Similac® Brand Powder Infant Formulas That Did Not Meet Its Quality Standards.

Abbott is initiating a proactive, voluntary recall of certain Similac-brand, powder infant formulas in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some countries in the Caribbean.

Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.

The recall of these powder infant formulas includes:

• Certain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers.
• Certain Similac powder product lines offered in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.

To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, parents and caregivers should visit www.similac.com/recall/lookup, and type in their lot number to determine if their product is affected, or call (888) 376-2054.

No Abbott liquid infant formulas are impacted. Products not involved in the recall include all Abbott Nutrition liquid ready-to-feed and concentrated infant formulas and all powder and liquid specialty formulas, such as Similac Expert Care™ Alimentum®, Elecare ®, Similac Expert Care™ Neosure ®, Similac® Human Milk Fortifier, and metabolic formulas for inherited disorders.

About the Recall

• The company is implementing a plan to address this matter in the affected manufacturing facility, which is expected to be completed shortly. No other facilities or products are involved in this recall.
• Abbott has consulted with the U.S. FDA regarding this recall.

Information for Parents and Caregivers

• Products with affected lot numbers should be returned to Abbott at no cost to the consumer.
• Parents and caregivers can go to www.similac.com/recall/lookup or call Abbott’s consumer hotline, (888) 376-2054, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• Both the website and the consumer hotline have specific details on how to complete the return process.

Holger Liepmann, executive vice president, Abbott Nutrition said:

"Abbott understands that parents expect to feed their children only the highest quality product. We are taking this action so that parents know that the infant formula products they provide unquestionably meet the highest quality standards for which they are known. We regret any inconvenience this situation poses to parents and consumers."

Labor Day weekend is said to mark the end of summer.  Why not end summer with a bang by heading to the Fulton County Fair!  The Fair runs from Friday, September 3rd through Thursday, September 9th with Junior Fair Day being Wednesday, September 8th.  

The Grandstand has a fire-startin’ line up of entertainment, with Blake Shelton on Labor Day Monday and Kansas on Sunday evening. Tickets go on sale July 6.

Added Fair entertainment includes a fishing pond, firefighter shows, and Tillage through Time, a historic agricultural display. Plus all the Fair favorites, including demolition derbies, animal judgings, agricultural displays, and let’s not forget the Fair Food.
