May 18th - A Galaxy of Good Ideas

Hard to believe that today was our last meeting for the 2009-2010 MOPS season! Looking back over the year, we have made some great memories, new friends, awesome crafts and we have also learned many important lessons from all of our speakers!
Today's speaker shared ideas of what to do with our kids for the summer months! And she had a TON of great suggestions! Some ideas included local library programs, kids movies at local theaters, outdoor fun (bird watching, bug collecting, gardening), craft projects, and outdoor games (tag, scavenger hunts, kick the can,etc)
Some "local" mom-approved outings include the Milwaukee Public and Art museums, the Domes, Honey Acres, Jelly Belly Factory tour, Pike Lake, Slinger "beach", Regner park, Possibility Playground, Hartford Balloon Rally, Breakfast on the Farm, and the list goes on and on!
Check out some of these websites for more fun, summer ideas:

Be creative and enjoy the many opportunities to make some special memories with your children this summer!
Don't forget about the MOPS Park Dates this summer....these are a great way to stay in touch with all of the friends you have made over this past year! Hope to see you (and your kiddos) there!
