August 3 - 9th

Check out artists and food booths in Bountiful Utah's Summerfest celebration.

Katherine St. John is in charge of this Summerfest festival. On the link you'll find all sort of activities and fairs going on. Great excuse to take your kids out and experience some culture next week.

Monday JULY 21st!

We're mixing this up again and meeting at the downtown city library Monday afternoon July 21st @ 2 pm. We figured meeting at the start of the week would be best to avoid Utah's Pioneer Day Celebration towards the end of the week! If you feel this upcoming week is slighted, please call a friend in the area for a one on one playdate!

Monday July 21st
2:00 p.m.

THE MAIN LIBRARY

210 E. 400 S.

Come to make a silly insect hat and other insect-inspired crafts. Also there is a arctic cave, and attic for children to read books in.
insect crafts start at 2 p.m.

(allow half hour for travel/park/and getting to children's section)

Enter parking garage from 400 S. heading east.

helpful tips:

Parking underneath is free the first hour.

The children's library is located in the basement. Enter through the main library entrance, and take the staircase down to the bottom level across from the glass elevators.

SATURDAY July 12th!

So we're mixing it up having an activity on a Saturday. This is the Place Monument Park is FREE all day from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. I felt it best to go in the morning to beat the heat and hopefully too many crowds.

Everyone lets meet at 11:00 a.m. at the petting zoo. It is Olivia's favorite with pigs, rabbits, goats etc.. for the children to admire and touch. That way you can decide what is best for you and your little ones if you want to do things prior, or simply come at 11:00 a.m. Olivia [20 month old] doesn't last more than an hour or so - and they do have a little train/houses to visit/covered wagon etc... So why not attend when it's FREE!

See you at This is The Place Heritage Park:
2601 E. Sunnyside Ave.
[located across the street from Hoogle Zoo]

Ideas for July 11th!

We want input for our next Moms and Me Group. Please leave your ideas in the comments section!

Have a happy 4th (no play group next week)

Friday June 27th

Let's play at Fairmont Park
2360 S. 900 E.
free lunch starts at 11:30 a.m.
Carpool from our houses at 10:30 a.m.

Let's try and carpool out at 10:30 a.m. Make comments about space in your car or if you are able to carpool. I know my daughter lasts about an hour at the park so if we get there and play and then eat lunch it will make a full day to come home and take a nap.

Announcing Friday June 20th

Hey Friends,

Come join me next Friday June 20th

at my house [well my mom Kim's house] for a

Mini Swimming Pool/Water party.

Noon

Wear your swim suits, and remember your sun screen. Bring your own lunch again!

(I heard that it was Olivia's 20 month b-day so she wants to bring popsicles.)

The park was so much fun sharing my ball, going down the slide, and eating munchies so I hope you can come!

A fun afternoon

Thanks for coming, and I'm excited for the fun to begin. Here are a few pictures from today!

Young Love

We will Miss you! Keep in touch from California!

Moms and Me next week activity

Plan on meeting at the stake park/ or any other park ideas?

This coming Thursday June 12th

Noon

Bring your own lunch

Welcome to the excitement!

As a young mom I thought what a great way for me to meet other moms and to have a chance for my daughter to get to meet your little ones. As the summer has just started I can think of fun simple activites for us to get involved with. I think the more options and ideas we have the better and we can plan out the next few activities/ days and times at our next get together.

We want to open this up to anyone who would feel an interested in coming.

Also since I feel it would be best to keep this blog open - (not private) we will leave last names off and not disclose any phone numbers etc... on the blog.

If we all know where to look we can all be on the same page for a chance to "get out" and socialize with other mom's like ourselves.

thanks!
