Ideas for Summer

School's almost out which means some of us have almost 3 months to think of ways to entertain our kids! Here are some ideas of things to do this summer. If you have suggestions, let me know and I'll add them!

Free things!
Bowling - see the post below to sign up for free bowling this summer!
Library story times - Here is the program list for Willowbranch.
Take kids to the theater!
Kids workshops at places like The Home Depot or Michaels
The Cummer after 4pm on Tuesdays
The Riverside Arts Market on Saturdays
Look up a program you & your child would enjoy at a local park!

Things that charge admission
The zoo & splash park.
The MOSH
Pump It Up
Hanna Park Beach & Splash park
O2B Kids
$1 movies at Regal or Carmike

Jump N Jax

Jump N Jax will be happening this summer! We are collecting items now. If you (or your friends) have children's clothing, toys or equipment you want to donate please contact Kathleen. We can also use child sized hangers if you have extras you want to get rid of. We will attempt to have a MOPS presale of all our donated items in July before the JNJ drop-off. Thanks!

Bowling

You may have noticed we have a bowling play-date on the calendar for July. If you haven't heard of Kids Bowl Free, you can sign up now and start getting coupons for 2 free games each day this summer. It doesn't cover the cost of shoes if your kids are big enough for them. We will be going to Cassat's Batt & Bowl. They have bumpers & a ramp to help the little ones bowl. You can register for this location here.

We are working on some other play-dates & girls' nights for the summer. If you have any suggestions, please contact Kathleen!
