A reader topic! Let's talk activities!

Hello to all! Welcome spring. I love this time of year. The blooming and the smells and the green and colors! It is my favorite season. Before you know it summer break will be here.
Today I ran into a very cute and sweet friend / reader at Brown's and she gave me an idea to write about. What about things to do with the kids.
Since that has been the topic of conversation at my house for the past few weeks, what to do with the kido's for the summer, I thought that was an excellent idea!
I did tell her that I had been taking my children to the Kanza pool in the evening. It is only $1.00 per person, and it is heated! Good exersize for mom, and the kids love to play!
I know that this summer Maya (my 7 year old)will spend a month in K.C. with my parents at a camp that is awesome! I went to day camp there when I was her age, and I loved it. They go swimming every day, and they play outside all day doing organized activities. I just remeber how much fun I had.
Now, for the rest of the time she will be at County Lovin Childcare. They have a program for not just school agers, but little ones too. And it is all day. This summer they are learning about States. They will also go swimming two times a week. And walk to parks. She has a good time there. Meredith has been going to that daycare since she was 6 weeks old, and she loves it as well.
If you are looking for beauty, take a stroll at the L. A. Cann gardens in Ponca City. Outdoor walking path, that is paved, and all the flowers and plants are labeled. It is cool.
We also like to go down to Just Yesterday on South 14th in Ponca. You can have formal tea. The girls love it. Just note that there a lot of breakables there, so be careful.
I know that Maya loves the Paris Park pool, and the Winfield pool. She talks alot about them.
I really want to hear from all of you! Give everyone your ideas about fun things to do with the kids! That is what this is for. Let's talk! I just ask that we keep it positive, and supportive. Parents need support!
So, let me hear you everyone! I know that there are people that read this that are not just from Ark City, so please give us all of your ideas. You never know what someone needs to hear.
And thank you to my special friend at Brown's, this was a fabulous idea!
Love to all!
