Festivals
The Weekend Ahead.
August 20, 2009
The kids and I are headed out this weekend on our final summer HURRAH before preparing for the upcoming school year. Unfortunately, this requires a six hour car ride, but we get to spend a fantastic time with family doing funactivities like hiking and spending time at a water park. Plus, the weather should be PERFECT.
The weather should hold up pretty well 'round these parts, too. And there's still plenty of outdoor (and indoor!) fun to be had this weekend.
Get out on Friday evening to enjoy Concerts at the Mural at Seattle Center. It begins at 6pm, and this week features Fruit Bats, The Moondoggies, and Johnny and the Moon.
The Seattle Center is also hosting Tibet Fest this weekend. There will be a ton to see and do (and maybe learn a bit, too). The colorful costumes and dramatic dance is just the beginning.
It's Seattle's Central Area's turn to hold their Seafair sanctioned event - the Central Area Community Festival. Held Saturday from 11am to 9pm; it promises "food, fun and music". I'm sure they'll deliver.
Need a moment of downtime? Then perhaps the storytime at Mockingbird Books is just for you and your toddler. They'll be reading morning at 11am, except Sundays.
One of my favorite children's performers, Nancy Stewart, will be working her musical magic at the Greenwood Public Library this Sunday at 1pm.

Looking Ahead, Weekend Style.
August 13, 2009
The cooler weather this week has been a welcome change for my family. I had to go digging into my kids' closets to find pants for them to wear; only to realize that they were almost too short. I see some school clothes shopping in my future.
But until then, we have a few more weeks and weekends of summer to enjoy. Here are some options for you, too.
Start the weekend off right, by listening to Music in the Park at Bothell Landing. The concert starts at at 7:00 pm and this week features Alex Duncan Reggae Band.
Run to Mercer Island for Island Jam. It includes a Summer Carnival that will include face painting, slides, bouncers, games and more! Friday, from noon to 4:00 pm.
Hungry? Head to Edmonds for their 37the Annual Taste of Edmonds. It will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday in downtown Edmonds. Enjoy music, kids' activities, and, of course, plenty of food!
On Sunday, bring your picnic basket and blanket to enjoy Edmonds' Concert in the Park featuring Portage Bay Big Band. Located at Edmonds City Park (3rd and Pine), the concert starts at 3:00 pm.
Enjoy these last summer weekends; only a few left!

There's Only So Many Weekends Left.
August 06, 2009
On the last day of school, my kindergartner was sent home with more paperwork and materials that I had EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
Okay, that may have been a bit dramatic.
But still! Somehow, the most important piece of paper of the lot (the 1st grade supply list) I had somehow misplaced. Thank goodness I ran into a mom of my son's classmate in the supermarket last week and she mercifully emailed me a scanned copy.
Why is this so important now?
Because the school year will be here before you know it. So now is the time to enjoy every last drop of summer. Every morsel of fun. Every festival and event there is.
And this is a great weekend to experience just that.
Enjoy Music in the Park at Bothell Landing this Friday evening. This week features an 80s tribute band! Sweet!
The Rainer Valley Chamber of Commerce is hosting their annual Rainer Valley Heritage Festival and Parade. The parade starts at 11:00am and everybody loves a parade!
It's fair season! Celebrate at the Pierce County Fair in Graham. I don't even need to describe all the preschooler-friendly activities available - IT'S A FAIR. You get the general idea.
All weekend (Fri-Sun), enjoy Auburn Good 'Ol Days - where you can "celebrate like the did in the good 'ol days!" Translation: BBQ, entertainment, and kid's fun. Sounds good to me.
There's another opportunity to catch Recess Monkey at the Bellevue Library of the King County Library System. They'll be there Saturday at 11:00 am.

Weekend Plans for When You're Not in Water or Melting.
July 30, 2009
All I have to say about this week is:
AGH.
MEH.
GRR.
It is just TOO hot. So hot, in fact, that my preschooler suffered from heat exhaustion this past Monday. It was pretty scary for a few moments, but now we know more about how to keep us all cool. Which basically revolves around drinking LOTS of water and limiting sun exposure.
While the weekend should bring us slightly lower temps - but still in the high 80s and low 90s - you'll still need something to do to fill in the times between dips in your kiddie pool. So pack plenty water and have fun!
What's summer without fresh blueberries? Come celebrate the local harvest as Bryant Blueberry Farm and Nursery hosts their Blueberry Festival on Saturday. They'll have pony rides, BBQ goodies, and, of course, plenty of blueberries to pick and enjoy.
It's Pioneer Days in Lake City! The fun will include a street fair, family activities and a parade! Rumor has it - there may also be a visit from the Seafair Pirates. Start August off right with a visit to this festival on Saturday.
You have a couple of opportunities to see Recess Monkey this weekend as they play two show around town. They'll be at Alphabet Soup Books in Wallingford on at 11am and at 3rd Place Books at 3pm on Saturday. The three members of the band used to be classroom teachers - so they know how to handle a crowd of kids with music and fun.
And remember, whatever you do, HYDRATE.

It's Going to be Hot, Hot, HOT.
July 23, 2009
With weekend temperatures heading towards the mid-90s, you may want to do nothing more than lounging in your backyard in the kiddie pool.
Resist that urge! Here's some fun ideas to enjoy the weekend ahead.
Those in the south end may enjoy Renton River Days. Sponsored by Ikea, this festival has plenty of activities just for kids - from a Lego Playzone to face painting. And, of course there will be inflatables!
The Tour de Terrace in Mountlake Terrace takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There is a parade, musical entertainment and plenty to entertain the kids - big and small.
Got an artist in the house? Then ArtRageous in Auburn is your place to be this Saturday. This event boasts over 30 hands-on art activities, plus musical performances and artists in action.
Food more your thing? Enjoy seafood? Then your family will be in HEAVEN at the 35th Annual Ballard SeafoodFest this Saturday and Sunday. And it's not just about the food, kids have their own set of activities to enjoy as well!

Weekend Plan Overload.
July 17, 2009
It's going to be hard to figure out just how to cram everything into this weekend.
So. Many. Option. For. Fun.
What will you choose?
Those foodies among us will be at the Bite of Seattle. With free admission and the new Just a Bite! promotion (right portions at the right price) you just can't go wrong. This is a very popular event - so come early and bring your patience. And your appetite.
Want to learn all about energy conservation? Then the 6th annual Shoreline SolarFest is for you. There will be tons of exhibitors (including energy providers and local environmentally friendly businesses) and a special spot for kids to play. I took my two kids last year and we had a great time!
A great event for the cultured family is the Wedgewood Art Festival. The perfect opportunity for strolling and admiring local artists.
Saturday is also Family Day at the Experience Music Project - meaning, FREE admission!
Enjoy!

What You Sould Be Doing This Weekend.
July 10, 2009
I'm just going to say it; even though your probably don't want to hear it.
I actually enjoyed the cloudy and cooler weather this week.
(I KNOW! SACRILEGE.)
It was just nice for a few days to not have to water the plants twice a day, be able to wear a sweater to work, and not have the kids have trouble falling asleep because of the heat.
But the sun is back! And since summer is in full swing, you'll have plenty to occupy your family with this weekend.
Seafair kicks off tomorrow! It's the 60th Anniversary of the classic Seattle summer festival. The Seafair Pirates will greet you to open the festival this Saturday at 11:30 am at Alki Beach. Be sure to check out the Seafair website to see all the fun activities they have in store over the next few weeks.
Mercer Island is hosting it's annual Summer Celebration at Luther Burbank Park and Mercerdale Park. My guess? You'll be spending most of your time at the Children's Fun Zone. But no worries - there's food and entertainment as well.
Those in or near West Seattle have easy access to the West Seattle Summerfest. There will be live entertainment, vendors, food, and more.
Over on the Eastside, head to Redmond's Derby Days, featuring a bicycle race, live music, kids' parade, and carnival.
Now, if I can just decide how many events I can fit in this weekend...

Welcome to Summer!
June 18, 2009
We've moved on from what may have been the most gorgeous spring EVER in Seattle (at least in my 15 years of living here!) into summer 2009. Which means for most weekends through September, you'll have your choice of festivals and events to enjoy.
So embrace summer this weekend by choosing from the following events:
This Saturday, the Fun at the Locks Concert Series brings you children's dance and music groups from the Nordic Heritage Museum to perform at Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard. There's even an opportunity for your children to participate!
Come find your artistic side at the Edmonds Arts Festival. For children, they host a "Children's Creative Corner", featuring balloon artists, children's musicians and hands on arts activities.
It's strawberry festival time! In the south end, you have the Burien Strawberry and Arts Festival, and up north, it's the Marysville Strawberry Festival. Both events will have plenty of music, activities and family fun, and of course, strawberries!
And, remember, the Fremont Fair IS a family event! You can enjoy concerts, an arts show, food, performers, and activities. (You may, however, want to skip the Solstice Parade, which is family for its naked bikers. Not that there's anything wrong with that).
PS. And don't forget - this Sunday is Father's Day!

Bring on the Weekend; Bring on the Fun!
May 28, 2009
If this weather continues - we just may start expecting this! Here's some ideas - both indoors and outdoors - to keep you busy this weekend and into next week.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday head over to Edmonds for the Edmonds Rotary Waterfront Festival. They have an extensive schedule of children's events, with inflatables, duck races and music all weekend. Be sure to pack your sunscreen!
Pike Place Market is hosting their Pike Place Market Street Festival on Saturday and Sunday. They'll have plenty of food, music, and, of course, a KIDS ZONE!
Want to pick up from farm fresh foods this weekend? Saturday and Sunday, South 47 Farm welcomes you to their Fields of Green Farm Celebration. Who doesn't like wagon rides, live music, farm animals, food and your pick of fresh veggies and fruits? You may learn a little, too.
This past weekend marked the opening of the Jim Henson's Fantastic World exhibit at the Experience Music Project. It features more than 100 pieces of drawings, cartoons and storyboards that illustrate Henson’s talent as a storyteller and visionary. Who else could have brought us Big Bird and Kermit the Frog? And don't forget -EMP hosts Family Days each month with free or reduced admission prices.

The Sun Is BACK!
May 14, 2009
The sun will be back this weekend; and I hope you will be able to get outside to enjoy it (a little gardening perhaps?). If you're looking for a break, we've got some great ideas for you.
Did you know that the Seattle International Children's Festival is now called Giant Magnet? Well, it is and it NOW OPEN in Seattle (running until May 16). It then moves to Tacoma for May 17 and 18. There is so much to see and do at the festival!
This weekend may be just the time to break out your shovels and buckets and head out to one (or more!) of Puget Sound's fabulous beaches. Here are my recommendations for the best there is.
Got Elmo or Sesame Street fans in your house? There are a few tickets left to see Elmo's Green Thumb at Comcast Arena at the Everett Events Center this weekend. My preschooler and I will be visiting Elmo on Saturday and she's really looking forward to it.
Sounds like the sun will be hear to stay next week, so here's some options to take advantage of the fantastic weather.
And, since there should be lots of sun this weekend and the week ahead - be prepared!

No April Fools Here!
April 02, 2009
It's sort of tradition to have cruddy weather during Spring Break in Seattle; and this week has been no exception. My son and I traveled to Idaho to visit family and were greeted by five fresh inches of snow once we arrived. On Wednesday, we ventured back over the snowy Cascade Mountains and were greeted by snow falling in the greater Seattle area.
Ah, April Fool's Day. But, no, REALLY, it happened.
Welcome to Spring in Seattle.
The weather may not be cooperating, but there is still plenty to do now that Spring has sprung (at least on the calendar).
Have a love of alpacas? Head over to the Puyallup Fair Grounds for ALPACAPALOOZA! This free event will feature live alpacas in competitions, demonstrations and more. All day Saturday and Sunday.
It's April - which means it's time for the annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Other than all the gorgeous tulips to view, there are a lot of family friendly events and activities to enjoy.
Have a Tuesday music break at the Mercer Island Public Library for Songfest! Your preschooler can dance and sing away their morning energy with performer Patrick Doherty.
And, don't forget, Whirligig at Seattle Center runs through April 12!

Spring Break!
March 26, 2009
Next week is Spring Break for the Seattle School District and many of the other local school districts (including the one my kindergartner attends). My son and I will be hitting the road to visit family in Idaho (and, yes, I have Angie's recent post on traveling with kids bookmarked so I can use all her tips!).
Since this is our family's first experience of Spring Break as parents of school-aged children combined with the fact that my daughter's preschool doesn't take a week off, our expectations (especially for the kids) are especially low. But yours don't have to be! If you are not headed out of town to warmer weather (I'm jealous), there are still plenty of activities around town to keep your crew entertained.
Visit the Pacific Science Center to enjoy their annual Spring Fling from April 1-5. Included in the price of admission are visits from special animal guests, nature activities and even pony rides!
Want to keep learning? Then head to the Bellevue Arts Museum for FREE on Friday as part of their First Free Friday promotion.
Spring Break in Seattle means its Whirligig time! Just what is Whirligig? Well, it's a "wacky world of child size action"! The Center House is transformed with bouncy houses, slides and much more. There are also roaming clowns, face painting, and free entertainment. It runs for two weeks from March 27 through April 12. Want to miss the crowds? Plan on attending on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Have a great Spring Break and stay safe!

What Will You Be Doing This Weekend and Upcoming Week?
March 19, 2009
Starting when I was five, I played years and year and years AND YEARS of Little League. Well, thirteen years to be exact. I considered the experiences I had as some as my favorites from my youth. I waited years and years AND YEARS to have kids of my very own who could play Little League, too, and have just as much fun as I had.
That year has finally come.
My son is now in tee-ball and this weekend is the annual pancake breakfast and JAMBOREE. So, I know what WE will be doing this weekend - but what will you be up to?
It's Baby Loves Disco weekend! On Saturday head down to Heaven in Pioneer Square and boogie on down!
Do you have a rock lover in your house (and not the musical kind)? Then they may enjoy the Rock and Gem Show at the Lake City Community Center held this Saturday and Sunday. It's free!
And next week brings lots of fun activities as well.
This Monday is Ivar's Flounders Day, where you can enjoy a choice of entrees for $1.04 (with the purchase of any regular prices entree)! My kids love the clam strips. Lunch? CHECK.
On Tuesday you can enjoy Nancy Stewart at the Burien Public Library as she performs her Mother Goose on the Loose show. Be prepared to sing along!
Have a great week!

Experiencing Spring in Seattle.
March 17, 2009
The snow this weekend was pretty darn incredible. My family and I live in the "Puget Sound convergence zone" so our weather is sort of its own micro-climate - often experiencing what I consider strange weather events. And this Sunday was no different - somehow, snowflakes combined as they were falling from the sky to create these sort of massive "super" snowflakes. There were some snowflakes that were - NO JOKE - the size of small salad plates.
But we soldier on into spring. By my calender, the first day of spring is only 4 days away (March 21). Here's some great ways to enjoy spring in Seattle! (But don't forget your umbrella!)
Spring in Seattle is a great time to get geared up for summer by learning to swim - our very own Angie helps us decide if our preschooler would benefit from private swim lessons.
While Washington, DC has their famous Cherry Blossom Festival, we have our own for you to enjoy: the Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival which is held in April. Other than the festival, great spots to enjoy the cherry blossoms include in the Quad on the University of Washington Campus or along the walkway on Lake Washington Boulevard. Breathtaking.
Get ready for baseball reason (and the return of Junior!!) by scheduling a Safeco Field Tour.
Plan a trip up to Skagit Valley to the annual Tulip Festival. The acres and acres AND ACRES of the tulips are a sight to see; but there are lots of family activities to enjoy, too.
Pack a picnic and enjoy your local park. It may have been MONTHS since you've made this trip - but the days should dry out soon, so make your first trip back special by packing your lunch and inviting some friends to join you.

The Sun is Out, but the Snow May Be On Its Way.

Not ready to give winter up yet? Hold on by enjoying Preschool Skate (Monday through Friday, 11:00am - 3:00 pm) at Castle Ice Arena - free is a great price!

Introduction to the Official State of Washington Flower.

Warning! Another fantastic weekend ahead!
September 11, 2008
I'm happy to report that my family has settled into our new kindergarten and preschool routine. Both a plus and a minus of kindergarten is that my son comes home EXHAUSTED; not only is he not napping anymore, but the class schedule is much more grueling (if that can be said about the lesson plan for a five year old) than preschool was. So our night routine is basically: come home, make and Read more...
