Day of Play

How cool is this?

Nickelodeon is "going dark" for three hours today to encourage kids and families to go out and play.

I just think that's pretty neat.

So, here are our "go out and play" plans for today:

Right now, I'm getting the boys ready to go to our local Chili-Cook-Off (an annual fundraiser for our local Special Olympics) and then we will walk over to the library to check out some new books for the week.

Normally, we might consider a side trip to the playground or the duck pond, too. But it's been unseasonably hot this week and the air quality has not been so great, so we might just play a little ball in the front yard before it gets too hot and then come inside to battle pirates or race cars or build a fort or something.

So, what you YOU doing today?

  1. We don't have cable so we get a lot of get out and play time because of slim pickings on the tellie! I think that is a GREAT idea though! Right now we are trying to decide if we are going to the zoo today or if we are going to be conent with the swing set and dirt holes in the backyard!
