Sundae Funday

  When I woke up this morning I knew that my kids were in for a big day and that me, as a parent, may pay the price for their fun.  If you have kids then you know what a day filled with sweet foods and excitement can bring out in them.  The only saving grace is the crash at the end of the day.

  Today we packed up the four kids and headed to Toronto, The Drake Hotel, for a media event being put on by Frigidaire in order to bring awareness to Save the Children ( http://www.savethechildren.ca/ ).  Save the Children is the worlds leading independent organization for children, fighting to make an immediate and lasting impact on the lives of children everywhere.  As a parent, my kids mean everything to me, so standing behind an organization such as this is a no brainer and what Frigidaire has done is make supporting this charity a family event by getting the kids involved.  Not only with today's event, but also online at http://www.sundaefunday.ca where they can build a virtual Sundae, which leads to Frigidaire donating $1 for every Sundae made.

  The event today was titled Sundae Funday, and for good reason, as there was unlimited ice cream and toppings.  Do you know what that can do to a child?  For approximately three hours we had Flash, Superman, Iron Man and Wonder Woman, all playing at top speed.  Just when we thought our superheroes were going to defeat their arch nemesis, the scary Mom and Dad duo, the effects of the sugar wore off and the drive home was quiet and calm.  From what I saw during the event all the kids enjoyed their sundaes, and the rest of the food that was served, as well as the magician that was on hand to entertain.  I did not get his name, although he showed patience with the kids and had them amazed and laughing for the entire event.  Anyone that can keep my kids attention for more than 10 minutes deserves a standing ovation.

  So thank you to Frigidaire for standing behind this charity and putting on a great family event and thank you to The Drake Hotel and their staff for staying on top of everyones needs.  Most importantly, thank you to Save the Children and your efforts worldwide looking out for kids critical needs.
