ANNUAL BOAT SLIPS AT PRIZER POINT MARINA & RESORT in KENTUCKY LAKES

Marina at-prizer-point

Thursday, February 25, 2016

It’s the time of year when boaters, boat owners and houseboat owners in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee and Ohio begin to consider where to commit to an annual boat slip to call home for the summer boating season ahead.

Each year Prizer Point Marina & Resort gets lots of questions from boat owners about how boaters should weigh their options to find the marina that fits them best for an annual boat slip on Lake Barkley in Kentucky Lakes. So, here are a few things to consider:

  1. Decide what additional amenities you would like to enjoy when staying on property. For example, Prizer Point Marina & Resort caters to families looking for fun on and off the water. With 2 pools, a peddle cart track, jumping pillow, outdoor movies and more Prizer Point is more than a Marina-it’s a family recreation center.
  2. Choose a Marina & Resort with restaurant, marina store and boat repair and maintenance. That way you can spend your liesure time actually on the water fishing, cruising or tubing and not driving around running errands.
  3. Choose a Marina & Resort where you can bring friends…but where they don’t have to sleep on your boat.  At Prizer Point Marina & Resort, we know you want to share the fun of boating, house-boating and yachting-but not the small sleeping quarters! That’s why we offer lakefront lodging for friends and family.
  4. Be sure to book by April 1 and SAVE on your annual slip for boats up to 80 ft!  Call us at 270-522-3762 or visit www.PrizerPoint.com

FAMILY REUNION ACTIVITIES: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT PRIZER POINT

The Best Ways to Keep Everyone Entertained

When you think of a family reunion, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?   Is it old-fashioned games like potato sack races? What about learning a little bit about family history?  Hanging out with cousins you just met for the first time and debating the merits of your favorite bands or baseballs teams? Or how reconnecting with cousins you haven’t seen in 20 years?

The fact is, a family reunion should offer something for everyone—no small task for reunion planners. The secret lies in preparing a variety of events and having downtime as well.  Here are a few ideas to get things started:

Get Gamed
Although you may not have been a gamer as a kid, many of today’s tweens and teens are. Consider setting up a video zone and host a gaming tournament. Some KOAs even offer Wii’s on-site to accommodate family-friendly, sports-related “battles”.  If someone in your family has an RV, they may even offer to host the tournament in their rig.


Rent a Boat / Go Fishing
Getting out on the water in a Pontoon, Tritoon or Fishing Boat is a great group activity!  Kids can rent tubes or skis from the marina store at Prizer Point, Dad can fish and Grandma can enjoy a cruise on the Pontoon.  There is just something peaceful and communal about being out on Lake Barkley together-it’s where some of your best family reunion memories will be made!

_______________________________________________________

Going Old-School
While there may be a little moaning at first, there’s nothing better than getting out your family’s favorite board games or decks of cards and setting the up on the plethora of picnic tables found at KOA. Put games for younger kids at one table (with an adult to referee) and games for teens and adults at another. Scavenger hunts are another fun activity for kids (and adults!) and a KOA campground is the perfect place to play. Here are a few lists to get the hunt started:

Bingo and charades work, too. And those potato sack races mentioned above? Kids still love those, along with three-legged races, Red Rover and other games. Of course, bean bag toss is always popular.


Dance Off!
Talk to the KOA manager and see if you can host a dance for your family outdoors or in the pavilion in the afternoon or early evening. Put the teens in charge, but make sure they incorporate songs from all decades, including 50s beach blanket tunes, 80s rock anthems, and a few of today’s artists as well. Get everyone moving and consider giving prizes or crowning a “king and queen” with the best (or worst!) moves.


Climb (Your Family) Trees
Ask family members to bring family photos and copies of stories or genealogy records they’d be willing to share. Set up a laptop and scanner and assign the tech-savvy folks in your group the job of getting them scanned in for easy sharing. Then add them to your reunion e-mail list, website or Facebook page (Your KOA hosts can help you with finding a great spot to plug in). Make sure to get the names of people in the photographs as well as any other information that can be provided—future generations will thank you for it. And while you’re at it, pull out that phone or video camera and collect some life stories from the folks who are there. It’s a great way to bring history to life. Here are a few ways to get the conversation started: Capture Your Memories | Family History Questionnaire


Recipe Swap!
Are you the only person to have your great-aunt’s macaroni salad recipe or your grandpa’s one-of-a-kind barbecue rub blend? A family reunion is ideal for sharing them, along with the stories of why they and other recipes hold a special place in your heart or in family lore. Create a family recipe book or blog, or add them to your family website or Facebook page.


Chill Out
Find a cool spot, pull out the camp chairs and just take time to talk. Ask questions, share your own stories or listen as others share what’s important to them. It’s a great way to learn more about your family, whether it’s your grandparents or your own kids.  And that’s really what family reunions are all about. Here’s a questionnaire to get started: Family History Questionnaire

Family Reunion Planning Guide at Kentucky Lakes

February 9, 2016

5 Steps to a Successful Event

Planning an event with so many moving parts and different stakeholders (who you presumably care about) can be daunting. Breaking a big project into smaller parts can be a good way to get started. Here are 5 steps to making your family reunion a manageable and memorable experience for everyone:

Book It
Set dates and reserve the site for your family reunion 12-18 months in advance if it’s a large reunion, or 6 months in advance if it’s a small get together. The larger the group, the longer amount of time needed to ensure you are able to get reservations.


Build the Team
Make assignments well in advance. These could include who will be in charge of the finances, who will head up activities, who will cover lodging (RV, tent or cabin) and who handle meal sign-up and menus. Here are a few easy meal checklists for dinners; you can use the same model for breakfast and lunch. Delegation is key to success.


Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
Make sure you’ve got the whole family included, then create an e-mail list, website or Facebook page(check out this article on tips for organizing people over the web). Good old-fashioned snail mail and/or phone calls still may be in order for family members who may not be as tech savvy.


Make It Fun!
Consider all of the ages of the guests who’ll attend, and ensure you create opportunities for fun at every level,  from toddlers to great-grandparents. Kids and teens may love heading to a water park during the day, and a tour of the area sights might appeal to those more senior.


Preserve the Memories
Select specific people to take photos or videos—just to make sure as many great moments are captured as possible. Print out several copies of this Family History Questionnaire and gather family memories, history and recipes.

KOA Thanksgiving Classics October 2015

Some of the best memories are made around the Thanksgiving table, when family and friends gather to cook, eat and give thanks.  We’ve gathered a few recipes to help stock your celebration with mouthwatering treats. Plus, they’re all great to take camping next summer! Roasted Veggies work well in the oven and in a grill basket, too! Sweet Potato Casserole travels well and makes for a lovely BBQ side dish any time of year, and our favorite Pecan Pie can be made into bars using the same recipe, just press the crust into the bottom of a 13×9” pan.  Share your favorite Thanksgiving dishes in the Comments below!

Happy Thanksgiving (and happy camping) from KOA!

donnajpg


Roasted Veggies

Any combo of your favorite veggies works well, and the recipe can be halved and prepared in a grill basket at your campsite!

6 -7 cups veggies cut into bite-sized pieces (any combination of butternut squash, parsnips, potatoes, yams or sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, bell peppers, asparagus, eggplant, red onion, zucchini, summer squash,
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine your choice of vegetables on a baking sheet or large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar and sprinkle with garlic, salt and pepper. Use a spoon or your hands to toss veggies and coat evenly. Bake for 25-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until all veggies are tender.

ROASTED-VEGGIES2


Sweet Potato Casserole

Dig in to the rich natural sweetness of this classic dish, great with everything from turkey to BBQ.

3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
¼ cup butter
1/3 cup real maple syrup
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Maple glazed pecans
1 cup pecan halves
3 Tbsp. real maple syrup
1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt or ¼ tsp. salt
2 cups mini marshmallows, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add potatoes to a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and put in a bowl with butter, maple syrup, milk, egg, vanilla and salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Spread in a buttered 2 quart baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile make maple glazed pecans.  Combine pecans, syrup and salt in a small skillet over medium high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until nuts are toasted and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan and place on parchment paper or buttered foil, cool and chop.

Top warm casserole with candied pecans and marshmallows. Place under broiler just until marshmallows turn golden brown. Serve.

SWEET-POTATO-CASSEROLE2


Bourbon Pecan Pie

Our all time favorite pecan pie recipe, this yummy dessert can be made as a pie or in a 13×9” pan. Serve with whipped cream with a hint of bourbon for a knockout finale. 

 1 9-inch unbaked piecrust
2 cups pecan halves, toasted and divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
4 large eggs
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup real maple syrup
2-3 tablespoons good quality bourbon (Maker’s Mark works well)
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange rind
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. flaked sea salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out piecrust and place in pie pan.  Spread pecans on a cookie sheet. Place piecrust and pecans on different racks in preheated oven. Bake both for 10 minutes. Remove and cool both completely.

Turn the oven down to 275 degrees. Melt butter in the microwave or a small saucepan and cool completely. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, orange rind, vanilla and salt. Whisk in cooled butter.

Roughly chop one cup of the toasted pecans and add to egg mixture. Pour mixture into prepared pie shell. Place the rest of the pecans decoratively on top of the pie, making sure to coat the pecans in the pie mixture. Sprinkle with another pinch of sea salt.

Bake for 1 hour at 275 degrees. Cool completely. Serve with freshly whipped cream flavored with a few teaspoons of bourbon and sugar to taste.

FAMILY FRIENDLY PACKING LIST FOR THE ROAD

Family Friendly Packing List

Got your headlamp?

They’re not only great to have at night in a campground but are useful in the back seat at night.

Encourage the kids to pack their own backpacks with toys, games, art supplies for the trip. The caveat: They have to be able to carry them!

If you’re like us, there’s always some essential you forget on your road trip.  Here’s our tried and true packing list from Family Travel Forum  and TakingtheKids :

  • LAMINATED MAPS Sure you’ve got GPS but kids, especially younger ones can follow the route—and maybe even help you navigate.
  • AN ATLAS  and MAPS of the areas you will be
  • A PLAYLIST of favorite songs. Encourage the kids to add some of their favorites!
  • A JOKE BOOK When it seems we’ll never get there,  a few silly jokes can lighten the mood.
  • “SURPRISE BAG” —silly, small things that is offered up after a certain number of miles, hours in the car or crossing state lines.
  • FOOD for a picnic lunch or dinner.  Let the kids figure out what you’re having!
  • FAVORITE JUST-FOR-THE-TRIP SNACKS . In our family, it was cherry tootsie pops.
  • NON MESSY SNACKS like pretzels, nuts, granola bars, fruit  cut up veggies
  • AUDIO CDS OR DOWNLOADS .  Get the kids to forgo a movie or their games and listen to a story with you.  Choose one of their favorite authors or ask your local children’s librarian for suggestions.  Try Judy Bloom’s books, if you haven’t already.
  • MOVIES for the kids
  • FIRST AID KIT that’s easily accessible.  (AAA makes one designed for road trips.)
  • REUSABLE WATER BOTTLES for each member of the family. They become souvenirs when the kids slap stickers on them and they are always at the ready!
  • PILLOWS AND FLEECE BLANKETS for the car.
  • FRISBEE, SOCCER BALL, SOFTBALL, MITTS —to toss around when you stop and certainly when you get to the campground.
  • RAIN GEAR
  • MASKING TAPE —in case the kids want to divide their space. They can also use to make designs on the seat in front of them.
  • A ROLL  (or two) of paper towels and cleaner to easily wipe up the inevitable messes as well as large PLASTIC GARBAGE
  • ZIPLOCKS of different sizes
  • TOILET PAPER, TISSUES, HAND SANITIZER
  • MOTION SICKNESS REMEDIES if  your gang  is prone to getting car sick. (Check with your doctor first, of course)
  • AN EXTRA BATTERY CHARGER —or two—for all of your family

Prizer Point Marina & Resort: A Pet Friendly Vacation Destination

Traveling With Pets Gets Easier Every Trip

At Prizer Point Resort & Marina and Kentucky Lakes KOA, we know that your furry, four legged family members are an important part of your family vacation! That’s why we’re a Pet Friendly Resort with dedicated Dog Park and Pet Friendly Accommodations. Check out these other Pet Accessories that make traveling with your pets easier than ever!

_58A8811hirez .JPG

Looking for time and hassle-saving ways to ensure your pet is as comfortable as the two-legged family members on your next vacation? Look no further, read on to find out what pet travel/camping must haves are hot today.

“Whistle” Dog activity trackerwhisper
Fitness trackers are all the rage. Go to any gym, and you’ll likely see Fitbits, iFits and Jawbone Ups strapped on most of the wrists of the workout weary.

But, what about the family dog? Who’s tracking his workouts and sleep patterns? It was probably only a matter of time, but a company called Whistle has come up with an activity monitor for dogs that tracks both your pet’s motions while awake, but also their sleep. It sends all of the data to your smart phone, so you can keep track of Fido’s fitness.

While this all may sound a bit “over the top,” the small disc device does have one other shining feature: It acts as a GPS monitor so you’ll know right where your dog is at all times. Think about that next time you’re camping and your four-legged friend gets off the leash. Get It Now!

Pet Tube Travel Kentravel_kennelnel
Here’s an easy way to keep your pet comfortable yet totally contained on your next trip. The Pet Ego Pet Tube Car Kennel sits across your vehicle’s back seats, and can be extended to fit the size of your pet. It has a mesh top for ventilation, and folds flat for storage. Get It Now!

Something For The Cat Loverscat_ten
Yes, cats are welcome at KOAs, too. This handy little tent “habitat” allows your feline friends to enjoy the fresh air while you camp, without getting tangled in a leash. It pops up in one simple motion, and comes with a storage/carry bag. It even connects to more habitats called “Crazy Mazes,” and “Fun Runs.” Get It Now!

ThunderShirts to Calm Your Pets
thundershirt This one has been around for a few years, but it really works. The ThunderShirt is simply a snug, Velcro-attached “jacket” for your dog that works on the premise that a compression covering calms the pet and makes them feel secure. That can be crucial during your camping trip, and especially during that occasional storm. Yes, it comes for cats, too. Get It Now!

ramp

Ramp It Up
As your dog ages, that leap into the back of the truck or SUV becomes a challenge. You can make life a little easier with the Natural Step Dog Ramp. The folding ramp gives your pet easy access to the rear of your vehicle, with steel supports that can hold up to 250 pounds. Get It Now!

Saddle Up!
saddle The next time you take a hike, let your dog carry what he needs for the adventure with the Max Pack Dog Saddlebags. The pack is great for hikes, walks and runs, and comes with two different size pockets. One size adjusts to fit dogs from 50 pounds to 110 pounds. It’s water resistant and allows your pet to carry up to 25 percent of their body weight. Get It Now!

Find Fido Fasterfinder
There are few things as frightening for a pet owner – or their pet – than being unintentionally separated in a strange place. The folks at Pet Hub have a simple solution. Each Pet Hub dog tag comes complete with a unique QR code that can be scanned by most any smart phone. The code will tell the finder all they need to know to locate the rightful owner. Pet Hub says 97 percent of pets lost while wearing the tags were returned in under one day, and 25 percent of them were returned in less than an hour. The tag info includes any info you want, including contact info, license and rabies tag numbers, microchip data, medications and more. Get It Now!
