Summer Park Days

The RS is no longer sponsoring park days, but in case you are in need of some sanity - well, adult conversation; sanity is too big a promise - you will find gals you know and other kids for your little friends to play with once a week at a local park.

We'll be meeting on TUESDAYS around 11 am. Bring a lunch if you want - I know I'm going to be hungry. The parks will rotate a little for some variety - but hopefully not so much that it's difficult to keep track of - and we'll hit a kiddie pool once a month for some serious splashing. If you have suggestions, by all means let me know. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come. This is just an informal way to hang out and hopefully have a little fun this summer.
