Answer
A friend of mine sent her parents To the Island Lodge, and they enjoyed so much , the place is fantastic and they spend so much time in contact with nature.
I founded some information in the web:
Attention to detail, anticipation of the needs and wishes of our guests, courteous service: these are some of the traditions of classic inn keeping. Traditions we've been striving to uphold and improve these 59 years we've been in business. Canoe Island Lodge is not large, not small, accommodating 175 guests. This is a size that permits us to provide individual attention, yet justifies a wide variety of activities, a varied menu and gracious quarters. We hope Canoe Island Lodge will become your home away from home for enjoying time on the water and outdoors; a place where you can count on convenience and comfort; honest prices and a relaxing vacation.
What started modestly is now a rarity in terms of value and entertainment. Canoe Island Lodge offers a choice of lodging that includes log cabins, lakefront chalets, hillside cottages and rooms in the main lodge.
Although we have many different types of rooms, all our rates include meals & activities. During the off-season, our rates include Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner and all activities. During July & August our rates include Breakfast & Dinner and most activities. We also have a lakeside restaurant available for casual lunches.
Our main dining room has large tables for groups or families making new friends, and two side dining rooms for private tables.
Meals:
Breakfast is cooked to order, lunch is a lighter menu or out on the deck during July & August. The dinner menu offers a nice selection throughout the week. On Thursdays evenings, we load the boats and put on a great island barbecue including chicken, ribs & corn on the cob. Our chef offers a wide variety to meet your requests & our baker will tempt you with fresh pastries, rolls & desserts.
Room Descriptions:
We have a wide variety of accommodations at the lodge, for some categories we have 10 rooms that are alike, for others we have only one. We have a high percentage of returning guests, many have come for 20 years or more, reserving the same accommodations and meeting up with the same guests each year.
In addition to our extensive waterfront facilities, Canoe Island Lodge offers a variety of activities to make your vacation relaxing and enjoyable.
Evening Entertainment:
We have a variety of live entertainment: from live music on the boat deck, to the guest talent show, to games and karaoke in the tavern and clam bakes. We have boats for scenic cruises, custom built sailboats, a Ski Nautique, tennis courts, a basketball court, a sand volleyball court, a practice chipping area, and expansive decks and views overlooking the lake.
Scheduled Activites:
We have an activities director who coordinates fun events for the children from tie-dyeing tee-shirts, to capture the flag on the island. With advance notice we can work on private baby-sitting for your young ones. Adults often join together for pickup basketball, volley ball on the island beach or tennis.
Tennis:
We have two clay courts as well as rackets & balls at the front desk
Golf:
We have our own Pitch & Put Golf on our family friendly four hole course.
And have loaner clubs at the front desk.
Hiking:
The Adirondack Mountains have numerous day hikes throughout the area.
We offer a ¾ mile loop on our private nature trail.
Basketball, Volleyball, Shuffleboard & Ping Pong
Our area offers a variety of golf courses, mountain hikes, charter fishing, outlet shopping, museums & amusements.

Party ideas for a 13th Birthday Party?




annie


I'm throwing my daughter a 13th birthday party. The theme is a beach bash luau. What should I have for them to do other than swim,play volleyball. Should I have games? What kind of food should I serve. I could use some great ideas from anyone who throws parties all the time.


Answer
Pool Party Ideas

Be creative⦠it isnât necessary to have all this ideas.

Fun Invitations - options:
Write party information on beach balls and send to guests. {or}
Send party information "message in a bottle" style - fill empty plastic water bottles (remove label) with a little sand and seashells and insert party information into the bottle. Decorate outside of bottle. {or}
A basic pool invitation cards.
~~~~~~
Decorations:
1.Use colorful beach towels for tablecloths.
2.Place sand and seashells in the center of tables. Fill buckets with sand and tie helium balloons to the handles.
3.Hang fishnets around the edge of the party and fill with shells, crabs and seahorses.
4.Hang blow-up beach balls around the party area. Place beach balls by the mailbox with a sign or helium balloons to tell party guests "This is the place!"
~~~~~~
Games:
Set up pool volleyball, or other pool game for a group.
~~~~~
Soaked Shirt Relay
Fun relay for all ages. Teams line up on one side of the pool. They must put on a large t-shirt and swim to the
other side of the pool and back. Then take off the wet shirt and the next player must put it on and swim to the
other side of the pool and back. Keep going until all players have completed the task - first team done wins. The
shirt is very hard to get on and off while it is wet.
~~~~~
The Piñaqua Piñata
1. Using your backyard hose, fill a medium-sized plastic trash bag with one to two gallons of water. Knot the top of the bag.
2. Tie one end of the rope tightly beneath the knot. Toss the free end of the rope over a tree branch (a parent's job) and either tie it securely or have the adult stand by to raise and lower the piñaqua.
3. To play, each kid takes a turn getting blindfolded, getting spun around three times, and then taking three whacks at the piñaqua with the piñata stick. The winner is the one who manages to break the bag and unleash the tidal wave. Needs: Medium-sized trash bag (we used a clear, 10-gallon bag), water, rope, tree, bandanna or scarf, and piñata stick
~~~~~
Most Popular Game!!!
Water Balloon Toss Throw (Itâs just like the game of Dodge Ball or Laser Paint Gun, only you will get wet and stained) Fill the balloon with water and few drops of food color (or any dye color to get the real color out) inside the balloon, do this outside or in the sink plus wear old clothes while doing this. Use several of color to make team. Rule of this game is not to throw above the breast/chest to the face/head. If someone did⦠is out of the game. And arenât allow to throw hard, you only allow to toss throw. It is safer and everyone will have a good time. Divide the team by food color choice. Call friends/family and have them buy balloons and give them the choice of food color and let them do this at home and bring it to the party. This way you have tons of balloons not to do it yourself. Also you got to pick the team for them without them knowing who is on his/her team⦠You get the ideas! Needs: water balloons, select of food colors or dye colors. Or you rather use water gun instead of the balloons... I prefer to do balloons, cuz' water gun runs out fast of water.

PS. Tell your guests to wear old white shirt and old short or bring it to the party. Because once you are hit, the dye will not come off the clothes⦠they also can wear swimsuit, if you want to.
~~~~~
Balloon Brigade Relay Race
This fast-paced race lets winners go out with a real bang. Need: balloons.
1. Assemble each team in single file with the first player in each line holding a balloon.
2. When the whistle blows, each lead player passes the balloon between her legs to the next person in line. Each recipient, in turn, passes the balloon overhead to the teammate directly behind her.
3. The balloon is passed alternately between players' legs and over players' heads all the way down the line. When the last person receives the balloon, he or she races to the front of the line and the balloon pass resumes.
4. The relay continues in this fashion until one of the original players regains position at the front of her line and pops the team balloon.
~~~~~
Pool Butterball Game
Oil the beach ball and divide two team, must try to get the ball away from the other team and try to get to the other side of the pool goalie⦠like football only problem of the game is the ball is greasy and hard to get it. Fun Fun!
~~~~~
Tube Race!!!!
~~~~~
Sucker
Suck or eat a long strand of licorice as fast as you can. Very long thin pieces of licorice for each player. As many players you can get to play. Need: Buy a big box of strawberry laces or licorice (the longer the better). Everyone has to put one end in his or her mouths. The idea is to lick/suck up the lace without using your hands as quick as possible. The room will go silent with the concentration then explode in a fit of giggles when every sees everyone else looking silly! The winner is the first to eat their lace all up yes they can chew donât want them to choke.
~~~~~
Cheetos Head
Try to throw Cheetos at your teammate and make them stick to their head covered with shaving cream. 6 or more players. Needs: plastic shower caps, Cheetos, and shaving creams. One person is seated on a chair. A plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap) is placed on the individual's head. Shaving cream is applied over the entire shower cap. The other team member or members stand behind a line opposite the seated player, about 4 â 5 feet a part. During a preset period of time (60-120 seconds), team members throw Cheetos at the seated player and attempt to get them to stick on the shaving cream. The seated player can assist by moving his head to help "catch" the Cheetos. The team with the most Cheetos stuck on the shaving cream wins.

Limbo

Music:
Do you have an ipod? Set it up with a good stereo system. If you donât have one, ask one of your friends who does. Also if youâre in the mood, have a karaoke; this will be a fun entertainment!!!
