    Thank you so much for making this page we just moved here in Aug. and now that we are settled in I’ve been looking for things to do with 4 kid’s; 12 years old, 8, 6, & 2 years old. Do you post stuff for weekdays too? I would like to start taking the 2 year old out while his siblings are at school.

    We have new posts almost every day! A great place to start is by exploring our menu bar. If you click on, “Places to Go,” we have all kinds of posts filed under that category. We also have lists of great playgrounds, indoor play places, and more. You’ll also find a calendar under coming events-we’re working on including more weekday events on it!
