Hello All,
It is getting warm and people are enjoying outdoor activities. There are also many events around town for children and adults to enjoy. For many of them, you have to pay some admission fees, but many commercial-type events are free. These last few years, economic reasons made people more careful about spending money. Thus, many stores and businesses started to have events that would draw customers to their businesses. All for free! For example, our local Giant store had "Customer Appreciation Day" in which they had set up tables for children to decorate sugar cookies and make cards. They were also giving away slices of cakes and hotdogs. Also, our local Home Depot had a workshop for kids. They gave children an orange apron with their names on it and a wood kit to make a box. They had games and face painting for children too. And of course the employees would come to you and ask you if your roof need a makeover or if we needed a new kitchen, ..... All in all, sometimes it worth checking out websites of your local stores and businesses to find out if something is going on in your neighborhood for your kids to enjoy. We had so much fun! My son felt so good making a flower box all by himself and he is so proud of his sticker on the Home Depot's apron!!
