Happy Birthday Canada!

We gathered in the park yesterday for our second annual Canada Day Potluck Picnic.

The sun was shining, and the Poplar Fuzz was flying - but the kids still had a blast running around, playing at the playground and burning off tons of energy!  The food was amazing - as per usual at a momstown potluck!

Happy Birthday Canada - enjoy the long weekend with your families & soak up the sun while it shines!

Picasso's In The Park

We hit the park last week for our first Picasso's In The Park of 2011.  After being rained out on our first try for this ever popular event - we hit it just right with a fantastic sunny day!

The kids donned their spiffy paint smocks - and we let them lose with the finger paints.  What better place than outside - where they can really get in there and make a mess?

Then we hit the park for some playtime for the kids!  A great morning of fun in the sun - bring on summer!

We'll be doing this once a month through the summer (and as far into the fall as the weather holds out) - so make sure your membership is active so you can join in the fun!  If you're not yet a member - register now for your two week free trial period!

Park Hopping Playdates!

We welcomed spring to Central Alberta this week with the kickoff to our weekly Park Hopping Playdates!

The fog burned off just in time, and we took over the playground at Kin Canyon for some fun in the sun with bubbles - and of course, lots of fun in the playground.

I'm pretty sure my 2 year old went down the slide at least 25 times... and I had to drag him out of there!

We'll be meeting up at a different park in the Red Deer area each week through the spring, summer and as far into the fall as the weather holds up.  We'll be incorporating different themes every other week - including our ever popular Picasso's In The Park.  Check out our event calendar for details - and join the fun!

Summer is off to a great start...

with two awesome momstown picnics!!

Last week we had a Teddy Bear Picnic - the kids brought their favourite stuffies for some fun in the park.  We all enjoyed picnic lunch, then had some fun with bubbles, the parachute & duck duck goose.  We boogied down to some Teddy Bear songs, and finished up with some fun in the playground. 

We wound up June with a Canada Day Potluck Picnic - hosted by our honorary Canadian for the year, Vanessa. 

The food was amazing - including Mandy's fabulous Maple Leaf Nachos & Brenda's awesome Canada Cup Cakes! 

Lunch was followed up with some play - a soccer game for the older kids & some park time for the little ones.

We all had a blast & made some new friends too!

Bring On Summer!

Let's face it - summer is too short here in Alberta, so we need to embrace every last minute or it!!  Even when the weather doesn't fully cooperate with us!

We kicked of the season last week with our first Ice Cream Social of the summer.  Even though the sun didn't join us, the kids burned off some energy after supper with a good hard play in the park followed by a sweet treat to end the day!

This week we hit the beach for some fun in the sand & a picnic lunch.  There was a cool wind coming off of the lake, but that didn't stop the kids from jumping right into the water!

We've got so many more fun summer events planned over the summer, so come on out and join the fun!  If you aren't a member yet, you can sign up for a free trial membership here!
