Make Plans for this Weekend and Next Week

Well, my kiddos are going to "Cici and Pappy Camp," a grandchild's playplace, full of dirt, water, and lots of sugar!!! But here are some other things that you might be interested in doing with your kiddo this next week.

This weekend is the Gladewater Rodeo. I grew up visiting my grandparents in Gladewater my whole life, but have never been to this (or any) rodeo. All I remember hearing is that if it is rodeo weekend, rain must be in the forecast!

Also,  Pets Fur People is hosting a Dog Wash-a-thon at Peltier Subaru on Saturday from 11am - 4pm. For every dog washed, Peltier Subaru will donate $25! Microchipping is offered for $25. Please bring your own towel! 3200 SSW Loop 323.

Also, Lowes and Michaels are having their kids craft day-a "How to train your dragon" craft at Lowes and a Father's day craft at Michaels ($2).

Father's day-don't forget father's day Sunday! Our dads (and husbands) deserve a little extra love for all they do for us and our kiddos.

Summertime, summertime...

You know it is summertime when all the mommies are looking for camps and activities to keep their little ones busy for the next three months! There are a ton of things to do for FREE or CHEAP, even more that cost a bit but provide bang for the buck, in my book. You can't do everything, all the time, but you can pick and choose and end up with the right balance of good, free entertainment with a smattering of the more expensive, but totally worth it, things added in. Here are a few of the things that we are going to be doing, right here in Tyler, TX! I will try to update as I see other opportunities~and feel free to let me know what I am missing. I am mostly going to add things that don't require pre-registration, so that you can make decisions on the spot!


June
June 2-6-Not a lot going on as public schools finish up their semsters, but a few things noteworthy. Beyond this, we are having "daddy camp" and using the end of the week for a quick trip to Dallas to visit the Perot Museum and Hurricane Harbor.

Here's what else is going on:

Wed., June 4-Jumpin' Jacks-$$-10 am-noon
Sat.-Sun-June 7-8-$$-Did you know that if you have a Bank of America card, there are several museums where you can get in free (the cardholder only) every first weekend of the month; what a great opportunity to do a little museum hopping (and the Perot Museum is one of them, though we will probably not be there then)
