Summer is in FULL SWING!  Things are warming up and the kids are climbing the walls. Kids LOVE play dates!  It seems like everytime we head out of the house they are making friends. Be prepared with this PLAYDATE PRINTABLE. Have your people call my people and set something up!  This is also a great way to make some mom friends. (Dads and other caregivers, too!)

**If you have a kiddo in the CCSD School District that qualifies for ESY (Extended School Year) then today is the day your kiddo starts summer school!  Enjoy your day solo or grab some gal pals. Hit up Downtown Water Street. Prevail Marketplace holds an awesome Farmer's Market, grab some fresh foods and handmade artesian goods! Be sure to stop in at Archer + Jane on Water Street. The outfits they curate are worth the drive to Water Street. Prices are so low that you can afford to outfit the family. If you know an expectant mom, share this hidden gem with her. Maternity clothes are ridiculously expensive, and you only get a short time to enjoy them. Stop in and see what you have been missing!

We are finishing up this week of VBS. We have tried a couple of VBS offerings and the kids really enjoying it! There is still time to get your kids registered for several locations!  UPTOWN JUNGLE FUN PARK HENDERSON stepped up to get the word out by Sponsoring Macaroni Kid Henderson & Boulder City Guide to VBS.  Find your family fun and register for a fun-filled week this summer!

Saturday is going to "BEE" amazing!   We will be getting up early to head out to Gilcrease Orchard!  My very favorite thing is in season, Armenian Cucumbers. Check out our family's favorite recipe for Acur Salatası.  This has always been a great experience for my kiddos to learn where veggies come from. There is a Pollinator Party with Clark County Wetlands. I am so pumped to take the kiddos to learn about the bee, not simply fear it!  Then, BEE-cause I am amazing, I am going to take them over to the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve.  The family can snuggle in their cars watching THE BEE MOVIE Drive-In Version!

Head over to the Clark County Wetlands for another great Sunday Clark County Wetlands: Storytime with a Librarian. It is Free and Fun. There is always a craft. Last week, we talked about SCAT, aka Poop. The kids had a great time. (There was not any actual poop present.). 

Take a break and take the kids to Uptown Jungle!  They have an amazing Season Pass! Pays for itself in two monthly visits!  Think of it as a Gym Membership for the kids. Face it, we have about three months it is fun to be outside. It is either too hot or too cold. Uptown Jungle is always just right!  Stop in for your Family Membership today!
