Or, for even more fun, set it to Very Berry mode and listen as your vehicle plays fun phrases, car sounds and music. Press one button on your remote control to send this sweet speedster forward and the other button to make the car spin. With your little friend behind the wheel and you at the controls, you’re on the fast track to tons of free-wheeling fun.

Plus its a good memory, color and number game.  Red Rover calls out a color or number and the kids need to go find the correct bone and feed it to Rover. who ever gets the most bones wins.

Fathers Day Gift Guide: Fathers Day Off With Red Wine

This Fathers Day give dad what he wants, a day off relaxing with red wine.

Description:Dad’s Day Off Wine is a great way to help Dad enjoy any “Day Off”. This wine is a tasty red wine that is well balanced, has delicious it flavors and a long finish. It is vinified using some of the finest grapes from Italy.

****I have to be honest so I’ll admit I have never drank more than a wine cooler ever. So it is only fair that I share my husbands opinion on this wine too.  For me all I tasted was strong alcohol and it burned my chest. It didn’t really taste fruity or anything just alcohol.

My husband on the other hand enjoyed this and said it was very mild for being made in 2007. It is a great way to just sit back and relax. He laughed at me the whole time for being a lightweight.  If you enjoy wine this would be a great gift for dad!
