Coming off a week where Miss 6 has been struggling with a fever for the past 2 days, I am glad to have everyone home to get some rest this weekend.

Though we are limiting our outings, some of the available weekend activities for January 18-20, 2014, include the following:

Lakeshore Learning Store: FREE Soaring Skydivers

Each Saturday, Lakeshore Learning Stores offer a FREE craft project from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at participating locations. Soaring Skydivers is the FREE project for Saturday, January 18, 2014. The craft changes each week for children ages 3 and up, and no reservations are necessary.

Michaels: $2 Alien Foam Door Hanger

On January 18, 2014, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., participating Michaels Craft Stores will reserve 30 minutes for your child to create an alien foam door hanger. Kids Club reservations are required with $2 fee and recommended for children ages 3 and up.

National Parks: Free Entrance Day

Participating National Parks will waive their entrance fees on Monday, January 20, 2014. With hiking, swimming, and other outdoor activities available at National Parks, your family can learn something new, find a favorite picnic spot, and explore the outdoors.

Keep using time wisely this weekend. For those of you recovering from illnesses, may you get your rest, give yourself grace, and let your body heal.
