Buddy is off to high school and so far, all he’s taken to school are cold lunches. Being in a new school, he’s wanting to check out the hot lunches before he starts actually trying them. At this point Capri Sun Big Pouch is what he’ll need to get him through his meal!
The boys are pretty active in sports and I think these will come in handy during basketball and baseball once those seasons show up. We visited a couple of the Walmarts near us and weren’t able to find any of the pouches. Such a bummer!
Since we moved into the new house, Buddy and I decided we needed a couple American Pickers marathons. We’ve never had OnDemand with our tvs and are thoroughly enjoying it. On Rosh Hashanah the boys had school off and Buddy chose, on his own, to watch an entire season since they had the day off.
He and I are huge fans of Mike Wolfe, creator and star of American Pickers on History. We laugh so much as he and his pal, Frank drive around digging through other people's "stuff" and how they give each other a hard time. The boys grew up with a grandma and great grandma who loved antiques. They taught the boys how to find cool, old things and that antiquing was fun. This is why my 14 yr old son would choose to watch an entire day of this show than cartoons or some other teen show.
In fact, gram and grandma Baker have an entire basement, a garage and several sheds full of all kinds of old stuff! They’re holding onto all of it with the hopes of someone like American Picker Mike Wolfe visiting them ...one day, right?
So, now the exciting part…you could win a trip to Nashville TN, to win a half day pick with American Picker Mike Wolfe! 100 winners will win Messenger Bag, Magnifying Glass, Gloves, Bandanas, Flashlights, Journal, Pen, T-shirt, Kid Pickers Book, Carabineers! Who wouldn’t want that opportunity!
I’m so excited that kids have the opportunity to learn from the expert and get tips on how to pick! I have a feeling he’s going to want to try some picking of his own after watching American Pickers and learning from his grandma on how she’s done it for years!
Have you ever gone picking and if so, what’s the best thing you’ve ever scored?
We love watching American Pickers. That show is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy mom and dad LOVE American Pickers! And really, I've gotten too many good things to mention, I'm a pro haha.
ReplyDeleteWe have yet to see an episode, but it sounds like fun... Oh and those drink pouches rock...
ReplyDeleteI have never seen American Picker but we do love Capri Sun, my kids take them to lunch. Now I need to watch the show...lol
ReplyDeleteMy husband an I love watching American pickers! It is amazing the stuff that people collect!
ReplyDeleteI think its great that they are doing bigger juices that are portable and will have to check out American Picker
ReplyDeleteMy family have done their share of pro antiquing in their time, so I've inherited a lot of things that I still need to sell on eBay when I find time. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that show once. It's on History Channel? I'm gonna have look in the guide for it. As for the Big Pouches, I know my son used to tell me that one juice box or pouch wasn't enough for him so I totally appreciate that they make these!~
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the show, and I only have read enough about it in your post just now to get the gist of it. I love that your son is so into it!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep my eye out for those big pouch Capri Sun drinks for sure, especially for my 2 oldest kiddos. Thanks for letting me know!
I love picking! We watch American pickers all the time. Here in Texas there are all kinds of flea markets, and antique stores to check out. When I go to Oklahoma to visit my parents, we go to the auctions too! My dad and step-mom also have a large amount of antiques in their home and storage. Fortunately for me, my dad has told me it will all be passed on to me!
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves that show and would love to win that prize.... maybe I will win it for him for his bday. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI have not really seen the show, but I heard its good. Maybe someday when I get to pick what is on television I will have to watch it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that your son and his grandmas are into picking! This sounds like an awesome contest! Thanks for sharing. :)
