We met up at the Green Visitor's Center and decided to walk through the little trail around the back of the center where they had some fairy houses set up. They were a little worse for wear because of the rain, but the littles didn't seem to mind too much. My daughter was mostly concerned with where the fairies had gone off to. She wanted to see REAL fairies.

We went blueberry picking on Saturday, June 13. (I know, I know. I'm behind. But I've been BUSY!)
I had never heard of Bryant's Blueberries until this year and it seems like I've heard it mentioned from at least a half a dozen different sources.

After some last minute discussions and schedule shuffling, we decided to go to the Louisville Zoo. Silly me, I thought the zoo would be fairly desserted since school is out. I figured there wouldn't be hordes of children on fieldtrips, just individual family groupings so I naively said we should meet at the zoo entrance. Ha! Every daycare and summer camp must have chosen that particular Tuesday to go to the zoo. I think we did all end up finding one another, but it was nothing if not chaotic.

The past few summers, my friend April has been hosting a Messy Party. What is a "Messy Party", you ask? Basically, you put the kids into clothes you don't mind getting wet or painted or dyed and you let them run loose.

We met outside the main building of the Louisville Nature Center. You need to walk through the building to get to the start of the trail. The kids took a look at some of the birds nests and eggs on display in the cases as we were walking through, but they were excited to get going on the hike.

| Free Heartland Music Together DemoJune 8- 13, Free Demonstration and Make-up Classes:
What's a Music Together class? It's more than just 45 minutes of singing, dancing, laughing, playing, getting silly together, and getting snuggly together. It's also a way to bond and have fun with your baby or young child, all through the week. It's great songs that you'll find yourself humming even when your child is not around. It's a research-based, proven method for helping your child develop life-long music skills - and it's just plain FUN!
During the week of June 8- 13, we’ll offer open classes. Enrolled families can use these as a make-up, and they are invited to bring any friends to join them. These classes are also open to any visitors who would like to try a class.
