The Johnson family camping trip was not going as planned.
It rained the first day. The tent leaked on the second day. And by the third evening, the kids were bored, restless, and asking “when can we go home?” for the hundredth time.
Dad pulled out a flying ring from his backpack—a last-ditch effort to save the trip. “Who wants to toss this around?”
Twelve-year-old Emma looked skeptical. “It’s almost dark, Dad.”
“Just watch,” he said, pressing the button on the ring.
Suddenly, twelve bright LEDs blazed to life, turning the simple ring into a glowing circle of light. He tossed it gently to Emma, and the ring sailed through the twilight air like a miniature UFO, leaving a trail of color behind it.
Emma’s eyes went wide. “Whoa.”
Her younger brother Tyler jumped up. “My turn! Throw it to me!”
Just like that, the camping trip transformed. As darkness fell and the stars came out, the glowing ring flew back and forth between family members, painting arcs of light against the night sky. The soft, lightweight material meant nobody worried about getting hurt—even when Tyler’s throw went way off course and bonked Mom gently on the shoulder.
“Sorry!” Tyler called out, not sounding sorry at all because he was laughing too hard.
The ring’s auto light-up feature meant it glowed brighter with every throw, making it impossible to lose track of even in the darkness. And when it did land in the bushes once, the “lost mode” made it flash brightly, turning the search into a fun treasure hunt instead of a frustrating fumble in the dark.
“This is SO cool!” Emma launched a perfect throw that sailed over the campfire (safely distant, of course) and right into her brother’s waiting hands.
Other campers noticed the glowing ring zipping through the air and wandered over. Soon there were eight people playing—kids and adults, all taking turns sending the brilliant ring soaring through the night. Someone made an incredible diving catch. Someone else attempted a behind-the-back throw that went hilariously wrong. Everyone was laughing.
“Is that thing waterproof?” Tyler asked, eyeing the nearby creek.
Dad checked. “Says it is. Why?”
Tyler grinned mischievously and tossed it right through the shallow water. The ring skipped once, twice, and landed perfectly in Emma’s hands on the other side, still glowing brilliantly.
“Best. Camping. Toy. Ever,” Tyler declared.
That night became the highlight of the trip. No screens, no complaints, just a glowing ring and a bunch of people trying to make increasingly ridiculous throws while the campfire crackled nearby. Emma perfected her long-distance technique. Tyler mastered the spinner throw. Even Mom, who usually sat out active games, got competitive about her catching skills.
When they finally packed up to head home, Tyler asked, “Can we bring the glow ring to the beach next month?”
“Absolutely,” Dad said, tucking it safely in the bag.
Emma was already planning. “We should play at the park after sunset. Everyone would want to try it!”
The Glow-in-Flight Ring became a fixture at family gatherings, beach trips, and backyard barbecues. Lightweight enough for the youngest cousins to throw, durable enough to survive countless tosses, and bright enough to turn any evening into an adventure.
And whenever someone asked what saved that rainy camping trip, the answer was always the same: “A flying ring with lights. Best twelve dollars ever spent.”
