End of Summer Recap:
We had Storytime and Lego Club all summer, sadly we hardly had anyone to read to or play legos with. Remember us next Summer we have it Tuesday's. Our Summer Family activities are always so much fun, and you guys make it special.
Family Scavenger Hunt (10 attended). We had 1 huge family breakup into 3 groups. It was a good time. Next year, lookout we will have a whole new list and hopefully other families to challenge.
Family Bingo Night (3 attended) However, there were several games played and lots of prizes.
Mahjong - was also played here a few Thursday (Late) evenings.
September Ideas:
