Did you celebrate Earth Day early last weekend? If not, fear not – there’s more this week and weekend, along with these super fun outings.

We’ve got just what you need this weekend… some shopping, tunes, acres of flowers, and in case you haven’t had enough yet, Frozen! (Also, check out our Earth Day Roundup for even more things to do!)   Now thru May 3 Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest Rain or shine, these rows and rows of brilliantly colored tulips will brighten up your weekend! Photo ops, kids’ play area, and fresh flowers and bulbs available for purchase.

You fill out an emergency contact card with the school and leave detailed instructions for the babysitter.

We’re super excited about this weekend’s short list, and not just because we’re on it! Come say hi at our 4th Annual Summer Camp Expo, shop a huge consignment event, get out and explore nature, or take in a puppet show or eye-opening film screening.

  What an unusual year. Spring seemed to start here in mid-January, and we are weeks ahead of our friends on the East coast in terms of springy weather, flowers blooming, kids and dogs covered in mud, etc.
