It's been a long time!

Hey everyone! I can't believe summer's here again!

Last year, I had a blast doing this blog of fun, cheap and free summer activities, but I'm not sure if very many people used it. So...let me know if you want me to do it again this year.

Feel free to forward this email to your friends!

Week of August 9

Tuesday, August 11, 11:00 am - Movie: The Prince of Egypt at Studio Movie Grill. Cost is $2.

Thursday, August 13, 2:00 pm - Museum: Let's go look at the planes at the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum! The American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum is much more than a museum. It's a sight-and-sound, hands-on, window-seat look at the world of flight. It's an adventure offering you a chance to hear, see, touch and be a part of the exciting aviation industry. If we have 10 or more people (ages 2+) the cost is only $1 each! Individual tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for kids...so the more people who come, the less it costs for everyone!

If you plan to go to either of these events (especially the museum), please leave a comment or contact Amy Godknecht.

Hawaiian Falls - Monday, August 3

Since this is happening on Monday, I thought I'd go ahead and send out an announcement today. Several people have asked to have a group day at Hawaiian Falls, and Monday's the day! Hawaiian Falls is always fun, but it's even better with a friend. So come join us!

On Mondays throughout the summer, members of the Maui Moms club can get in FREE with the purchase of a Little Kahuna (child's) ticket before 12 noon. You must have a coupon for this offer. Visit http://www.hfalls.com/waterpark/maui-moms-coupon.html to print out a coupon. Also visit www.hfalls.com for more offers.

Week of July 26

It's a busy week! Lots of fun and FREE activities to choose from.

Tuesday, July 28, 9:00 am: Southwest Dairy Farmers Mobile Dairy Classroom - Located at the Hugh Smith Recreation Center. City children get a chance to see where milk really comes from when the mobile dairy classroom rolls into town. This program is for children ages 4-12. I’m not exactly sure what this is, but I think it might include real cows. As Tyler said, sounds “stinky” but fun.

Wednesday, July 29, 2:30 pm: Storytime Theater, "Jack & The Beanstalk" - Dottie Lynn Recreation Center – Arrive at least 30 minutes early. The talented actors of the Storytime Theater troupe will present “True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk.” This program is for children ages 5-12.

Thursday, July 30, 2:30 pm: Bongo Bob & His Coconutty Buddies - Southwest Branch Library - Arrive early! “Bongo” Rod Butler of Radio Station KCBI returns to the library with his Tube Dudes and other crazy puppets for an afternoon of humor and positive messages. After the show, children will be able to make their own tube dude to take home. This program is for children ages 4-12.

Friday, July 31, 3:00 pm: Free Family Friday at the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History. While it’s under re-construction, the exhibits are located in the National Cowgirl Museum. Visit http://www.fwmuseum.org/exhibits/fff.html for complete details and directions. Let’s meet in the lobby of the museum at 3:00. Please leave a comment if you plan to attend this event so we know who to expect.
