Trying to Plan My Weekend With the Fam
As a full-time working mother, weekends are BIG for me. This is two straight days that are MINE, I get to spend the time with my kids however I choose. It's almost overwhelming for me on the eve of a weekend since there are so many great things to do locally. I search the web, and check the weather and try to find the perfect way to spend my allotted time away from work. My husband has been involved with tractor pulling his whole life (what is tractor pulling, you ask? Yeah, google it. I didn't know either until I met him). This is a hobby that pretty much consumes E V E R Y Saturday of the summer and some Fridays. While I admire his devotion to his hobby, it can be a thorn in my side. (sorry, honey, it's OK, I knew what I was getting into when I married you) This weekend, however, the tractor will be out of commission pending repair. This means that I get to have my husband this weekend so the pressure is on to find something even more awesome to do this weekend.
Upon notice of said breakdown I immediately wanted to go to the Zoo. My 2y/o is very good at identifying all of the different animals and I think she would really get a kick out of seeing them in person. I would hate for Hubbs to miss out on the first time she was at the zoo and old enough to talk about what she is seeing. I checked the website and was even more delighted to see that there was an event this weekend! They are having their Second Saturday Kid's Fest this weekend, featuring Astronomy Day Second Saturdays Kid Fest Event Page
My next step at this point is to check the weather...
Yeah, if you live in Missouri or Kansas you won't be surprised. It is calling for Thunderstorms Saturday. So, I guess there goes that idea. Now, I am on to finding an indoor family activity or else my husband is going to have us putting up shelves and organizing the garage. So, you see how serious this situation is! The only indoor place we have taken our oldest (who is 2) to is to Fun Run in Liberty. She LOVED it and had a blast but I am really hoping for something different. I definitely plan on hitting up the Rainforest Adventure in Crown Center before it leaves town Crown Center Rainforest Adventure Link but I think that is more of a play date thing. I am stumped. Guess this "Mom About Town" doesn't know as much about this town as she should ;)
I need suggestions! You all don't want me organizing garage junk this weekend do you?? Well, I hope not.
