The Greypevine: Season 2, Episode 5

They're back with another episode! My Grey's class does Episode V of their really great Podcast!

In this episode:

• Any Way You Want It- Dan and Bryan bring you another YUMMY cookie segment with David C. as their guest. His recipe is so EASY, and we can tell you from experience, they sure are tasty cookies. Look how easy this is...mix 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 egg. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle on some sugar, and don't forget to make that nifty criss-cross pattern with a fork. Also, Jamie reports in on his awesome collection of baseballs.
• Daredevil's Corner- Have you ever rocked out on the air guitar? How about on the air keyboard...computer keyboard that is. Tori and Charlie give it a try while singing a very interesting song about the home row. We dare you to get the song out of your head once you listen.
  
• Did You Know- Geckos. That's all we really need to say about this Did You Know. Just listen to what Vicky and Katie R. have to go through trying to give you some interesting facts.
  Our Perspective- Have you ever tried selling something on eBay? Erica and Sarah Grace bring us a story about someone who takes eBay to a whole other level. Read the story by clicking here.
  
• Email and Blog- McCall and David N. have one of our most prolific emailers in to chat about our show. They also give a desperate plea for more of your emails!
  
• Top 5- Bill and Vanessa are put to the test when Tyler stops by to see if they can come up with a top 5 (well, top 10 really) list of things to do with a common household item. Check out their uncommon answers.
  
• Riddlers- Ryan and Jamie keep us rolling with some pretty outstanding jokes. They also pose a riddle made up from one of our classmates. See if you can come up with the answer and email us your response.
  

We hope you enjoy this episode, and remember to drop us an email or leave a comment on our blog to let us know what you would like to hear in the next episode!

Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom

If you are like most families, Disney World is a great place to visit. If you go, you go back, again, and again... Your Kid-cast.com kids are no different. One of these great kids named "PJ" loves to go to Disney - he's got a trip planned in the next couple of months. Until then, he'll have to keep himself remembering and busy with Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK).

VMK is one of those great, kid-safe, sites where kids can travel around a digital playground version of Disney's Magic Kingdom. You'll recognize all kinds of things right out of the parks after you create your login. It's really easy to do, and you'll be up and running around the park in no time! You'll get treated to those favorite places, like Big Thunder Mountain, and The Jungle Cruise. But, that's not all you'll see. You'll get to play games, solve puzzles, and take challenges that will make you feel like you're right there in the park!

The nice part, for parents, is knowing that your kids can be left alone with this site without too much supervision (though, we at kid-cast.com always recommend sitting with your kids and enjoying the fun and monitoring their online behavior), because even though this site is a simulator with characters (other members) walking around and chatting, Disney has created a special chat engine that only allows "Disney Words" to be used. Kids won't be able to disclose information about their names, addresses, or phone numbers. So, you can feel safe that predators won't be getting in the way of your child's fun.

So, check out this really fun site and remember your Disney Vacation!
