Feathers, fur and the ‘fab four’ at Kids Cabin

Promontory Kid's Cabin

Introducing Malibu, the newest addition to the Kids Cabin.

Malibu, named because of her long, beach hair and sassy personality, was an orphan. She has been in the care of a vet for the past while and is part of the Petco Adoption First program. Malibu now has made her home here at Promontory. She will join the bunnies, the frogs and the finches and is looking forward to meeting all the kids.

The fab four frogs have been hibernating this past month, but I have found that as the temperatures rise outdoors, they are becoming more active. Mocha who is a long-eared Rex has become the size of a small cat and Latte; being a mini, Rex has not grown at all. The finches have been laying eggs and continue to sing their songs daily.

It’s all about feathers, fur and a frog or two when joining in activities at the Kids Cabin!

Plan now! Jungle Jack Hanna will take the stage at the Eccles Center.
When: March 13, 2010  at 7:00 p.m

You could pick up reserved tickets at the Kids Cabin.

So many ways to relieve headaches

March 1st, 2010 · Living, Spa & Fitness

headaches

Via New York Times

Headaches can be caused by so many pain responses from within our body. Headaches result when our muscles tighten, an illness or injury, blood vessels swelling or constricting, which irritate nerve endings located in the head. When nerves are irritated they send the message to the brain triggering a headache pain, because our brain doesn’t have pain sensors, just the nerve endings.

Stress is the most common type of headache. Lack of sleep, feeling pressured to accomplish a task, deadlines, and unrealistic expectations are all factors of stress headaches. Sitting too long stresses the muscle groups in the body that work to hold one position for long periods of time, sitting at a computer for hours is a large cause of headaches. Lack of movement is a huge cause of headaches, so if you are suffering from a tension headache, get up from your desk and take a walk.

Migraines are usually genetic and women suffer from them more than men. Common causes for a migraine headache are: chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol. Other causes are: dehydration, sudden noises, bright lights, and changes in the weather.

To relieve a headache there are a few different options.

  • The fastest cure is an over-the-counter pain reliever.
  • Many physicians believe the real relief comes from drinking the water to swallow the pain relievers, as most people are dehydrated.
  • Stretching and massaging are alternative ways to relieve a headache. Stretching allows movement in the area while massage encourages the muscles to relax, tension to release, and allows circulation into the brain.

Being Big for others

February 20th, 2010 · Events, Kid's Activities

Promontory Foundation and the Kid’s Cabin joined with Big Brothers Big Sisters for a day on the ice.  Children from the program, along with their big brother/sister were thrilled to visit Promontory for a day on the ice!

The crowd was favored with an ice skating show from Park City’s Skating Club. After the show the kids hit the ice.

What a great experience for the visitors to have their first time on the ice be at Promontory. Lots of smiles for sure!  Homemade chili and hot chocolate was served in the cafe while new friendships were made!  A big success for everyone!
