We bought our son a pair of Lake Placid Nitro Adjustable 7.7 ice skates as a gift recently. I'm a big fan of adjustable skates and became familiar with them when we found adjustable in-line skates for him that really worked well. It's bad enough kids outgrow shoes so quickly. It's hard to justify buying new skates every season when they grow out of them so quickly. The blades barely get used before it's time to get a new pair!

Weekend of February 3rd, February 4th and February 5th - 2012

There are plenty of fun things to do in and around Metro Detroit this weekend. This list will try to highlight some of events big and small for kids and families. I'm going to be using this article to post events and activities that are either free or at least family affordable.

Things to do in Oakland County and Metro Detroit, Michigan this weekend:

Oakland County Daddy Daughter Dances

Daddy Daughter Dances are special for little girls and they're special for their fathers too! A lot of communities in Oakland County hold Daddy Daughter Dances each year. Even if your city doesn't hold one, there are plenty of local Father Daughter dances that take admission from non-residents.

Here are some Oakland County, Michigan Daddy Daughter Dances...

I love watching the Super Bowl and Super Bowl Sunday is festive around my house. I know a lot of my friends don't care for football but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the game. Sure, the commercials are great but there can also be a lot of fun in watching for non-football related prop bets! Some prop bets are placed that have nothing to do with the game but are entertaining. I don't condone betting but I'll be watching to see how the funnier prop bets shake out.

Here are some funny 2012 Super Bowl Prop Bets to watch for this Sunday. I can't believe people actually put money on these!
