CLOSED NEW Giveaway: Win Nature Valley National Parks Project Package!!
7:49 AM
Did you know that Yellowstone was the World's first National Park when it opened in 1872? And now there are 392 National Parks in the United States? Can I tell you on a personal level that I LOVE the National Parks. I grew up in Utah where National Parks are a plenty, and they are certainly areas or inspiration and wonder! I cannot wait to take my kids to more and more National Parks!
Of course, these parks require care and support to continue flourishing. But, years of underfunding and environmental problems are threatening our National Park system. So, Nature Valley has teamed up with Patricia Shultz, author of “1,000 Places to See Before You Die,” to support the parks through The National Parks Project.
And guess what? It is easy to get involved! Just purchase a box of specially marked Nature Valley Bars and mail in your wrappers to the address below:
National Parks Project
PO Box 450328
El Paso, TX 88545-0328
Nature Valley will recycle the wrappers AND they will contribute $0.10 to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) for every wrapper received (up to $600,000 in total). Wow! That can really make a Difference! Please go read more about this project at PreservetheParks.com today!
A couple of things about this package. First, I LOVE this book and have hardly put it down since I got it. Great recommendations of places to see-separated by State-I have been reading about all the states we might move to in 2 years!! Second, my 4-year-old is a particularly eater (he claims to only like bread and meat) and will not touch granola-he has this morning eaten half the box of Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey Granola Bars. I had to wrestle the rest of the box away to I could eat them (I LOVE them).
NOW about this Giveaway: Nature Valley and MyBlogSpark are going to give one of my lucky readers a package just like mine! And here is how you can enter (PLEASE make sure to leave an email address in each comment so I can reach you should you win):

So excited to see this giveaway. Since our first son was born we have made it a goal to visit a National Park every year for vacation. We started with Badlands, then Yellowstone, next Great Smoky Mountains and last year Rocky Mountain National Park. Next year I think we would like to Glacier National Park. National Parks make great family vacation spots and are usually quite affordable. Last year Noah even earned a Jr. Ranger Badge (a proud moment for him). Thanks Beckee, love all the giveaway information, keep it up. By the way congrats on the pregnancy.

Darn, Doreen said what I was going to say. So I did a google search and I think I would like to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is right in TN and still close enough to go to many other places I think my son would enjoy.
