What are your Kids doing this Spring Break?

The City of Southlake Hosts Spring Break Camp Mania March 10-14, 2014

Come and join the City of Southlake Parks and Recreation staff for a week packed full of fun, sun and excitement! Spring Break Camp Mania has become a Southlake staple for more than six years and is the leader of Spring Break entertainment for children ages 5-11!

Spring Break Camp Mania will be held March 10th-14th at Durham Intermediate School. Campers are invited to have fun and meet new friends in a safe environment during their time off school. Spring Break Camp Mania will offer games, crafts, movies, field trips and much more.

Your child will have a lot to talk about from their Camp Mania experience. A parent of a participant from Summer Camp Mania said, “I find Camp Mania to be a well-organized, fun and social environment for my daughter. She comes home every night saying how much fun she had!”

If you are interested in signing your child up for this exciting camp, you can register online or at the Community Services office located at 1400 Main St, Suite 210. Contact  (817) 748-8019  if you would like more information.

I heard this is an excellent performance.  If you have time to go TODAY, you absolutely should!

CATS Alumni to present
Free to Be…You and Me!

(November 25, 2013-Arlington, TX ) In celebration of Creative Arts Theatre & School’s 35th Season, CATS Alumni will be presenting a special benefit production of the children’s classic Free to Be...You and Me! Directed by longtime CATS friend, Linda M. Lee, this will be an exercise in modern nostalgia. The production based on the highly regarded 1972 book by Marlo Thomas and Friends. This classic of children’s entertainment uses poetry, songs and sketches to encourage such values as individuality, tolerance and comfort with one’s identity. The overall message, which aligns beautifully with CATS’ mission, is that anyone, whether a boy or a girl, can achieve anything. 

CATS alumni are sponsoring the show, and have created a “Go Fund Me” page (http://www.gofundme.com/4zjnj4) to solicit contributions to the production, with all proceeds benefitting the CATS general fund. The extended CATS family invites everyone to catch up with old friends, make new ones and have an opportunity to come play again.

Free to Be…You and Me! will play Friday, January 3 at 7:30 and Saturday, January 4 at 2:30. 

Ticket prices are: adults-$15.00; students, military, and seniors (ages 55+) - $12. CATS Alumni is presenting the show at Mosaic, located at 817 W. Park Row, Arlington, TX 76013. 

St For more information, contact CATS at 817-861-2287 
Tickets may be purchased at www.creativearts.org.

Mark your calendar!

I think this is worth a trip to Arlington - and I know my kids could use some exposure to a little more theater and a lot less time on the iPad!

LEGOLAND Discovery Center

September Annual Pass Sale

This month LEGOLAND Discovery Center at Grapevine Mills is having a sale.  If you have kids ages 2-7 who love LEGO, you should consider taking advantage of this.

Annual Passes:  $35 per person, or $135 for a family of 4.

Passes include:

Toddler Tuesdays

Star Wars Weekends

10% off at the LEGO shop and on birthday parties

Multiple opportunities to bring a friend for free on certain weekends

Unlimited access to the great LEGO activities inside

20% off in the Cafe 

Brick or Treat on Halloween

and other special events throughout the year.  

Walkup prices for admission run $15 for kids and $19 per adult.

So here is my dilemma:  

Last year in November my family purchased annual passes for the first time.  The cost was just $25 per person plus tax.  So I wonder if I should gamble and wait, or is this the best price we will see this year?  

Our family has enjoyed LEGOLAND Discovery Center so much, that this price is a bargain!
