                    Saugatuck beach hike & hang!
                    Discussion 
                    This hike was just as refreshing as it was hard work! It was wonderful to meet new friends and spend time lifting each other up on the trail. It was a beautiful day and the colors and cool breeze were just perfect. The water was a bit chilly, but that didn't stop the kids from getting soaked :) We missed a few at the beginning of the trail... Be sure this isn't you and RSVP to our events on FB . Our amazing sponsors showed off their amazing gear! What beautiful items they shared with our families... Why do they do this? They want us to get outside with our families and have the right gear to do so! Be sure and head over and say thank-you to our sponsors: @reimanorthamerica @lightspeed_outdoors & @sportrx Thank-you to all who came out! - Off Grid Kid Off Grid Kid was created to simply do one thing - "Get families outside." We feel that there is a great need for more of this so we will team up with sponsors who also have the same mindset! For more info on Off Grid Kid see here .

                    Santa Binoculars
                    Discussion 
                    Santa has given us the best idea ever, Santa Binoculars! How cool would it be to see him flying in the air? We want to help you do this! Let's get started... If you came to our Off Grid Kid meet- up you have the following: Red Scrapbook Paper Black Scrapbook Paper Gold Scrapbook Paper White Snow Ribbon You will need to grab: 2 Empty TP Holders Glue or Tape Scissors How to Make the Santa Binoculars: 1. Cut 2 rectangles the width of your tp rolls and make sure the length covers the entire roll as well. Wrap each piece around the holders then glue. 2. Place both tp holders together and wrap the end with the black tape. This will hold the binoculars in place. 3. Cut a small square out of the gold paper and glue on to the middle of the black tape. 4. Wrap the faux fur around the end of the binoculars and cut to size, then glue on.  5. Cut the ribbon/string to the desired length needed. Glue each end to the inside of the tp holders or between the felt and tp holder. 6. Set by your Have Fun!
