Happy Summer Solstice!

Summer has finally arrived and brought with it warmer days and longer evenings. Many families are scaling back and having staycations this year. We are all lucky to be living in such a beautiful area that has so many fun things for young families to do. Here are some ideas to get your family out and about this summer. For those of you are Facebook Sonoma Families is a great resource.

Sonoma on the Cheap has some great ideas to keep the fair fun and not break the bank.

Fee Free Days in National Parks

America’s Best Idea – the national parks – gets even better this year with several fee-free days at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees. 

Muir Woods is a beautiful place for a day trip with lots of paths and places for a picnic. 


Tiny Tot Classes (ages 10 and under):
Monday and Thursday mornings 9:30-11:00 a.m.
The Perfect way to introduce a child to skating!
$6.00 INCLUDES INSTRUCTION and QUAD SKATE RENTAL!
(These are the only sessions in which an adult can walk on the floor with their child)
Children develop motor skills, balance, and coordination learning through fun & games.
Children as young as 2 can learn to skate when their skates are adjusted properly for their skill level.



Ah, the signs of Spring - lush green hills, light breezes, a profusion of wildflowers and the park pass promotion. Once again we're offering an incredible package of incentives to those who purchase their passes between April 1 and June 30.

AND get one nights free camping along with many other goodides :)
