What it takes to do a live-action Escape Room (and actually have fun doing it)!

Have you heard of the live-action Escape Room craze that's sweeping the nation?! Basically, you pay a company to lock you in a room that contains hidden clues you must solve within a specific time limit in order to escape the room and essentially "win" the game. You book your adventure based on available time slots and each room has a minimum and maximum player range. If you are a small group, you will be paired up with another group to max out the room and make sure you have enough people to figure out the puzzle. Sound like fun? See any issues here? My husband and I have recently taken an interest in these adventures since they make awesome date nights and can be a fun experience to partake in with out of town visitors. Our city currently has at least 4 of these escape room companies, so there's lots of new rooms to try!

I just recently got the awesome opportunity to try some of Welch's 100% Grape Juice! I was sent a free sample in the mail and as soon as I got that baby I cracked open the bottle and poured myself a glass! It had a great flavor, and although a little sweet I watered it down and we all loved it. My toddler kept asking for more! Did you know that Welch's Grape Juice has all the same health benefits as red wine? I don't like red wine so this is a great alternative to keep my heart healthy! Plus you get two servings of fruit in each glass! I can drink to that! Now I want to try to make some of these yummy gummys or delicious fruit pops! https://www.welchs.com/recipes/desserts-and-snacks/concord-grape-gummies https://www.welchs.com/recipes/desserts-and-snacks/d-i-y-frozen-fruit-pops
