The last park meeting for the year was great fun and we took a vote among the families that attend park on a regular basis. Beginning January 14 we will be moving our park meetings to Homestead!!!! We are very excited to be getting things established a bit further south and even more excited to be moving in to a brand spanking new facility. James Archer Smith Park – HERE WE COME!!!

The park is located at: 300 NW 12th St. Homestead, FL

We will begin meeting again on Thursday January 14 from 12 – 2 pm. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

The holidays are approaching and we aren’t going to let Halloween go unnoticed. Halloween dates back to ancient times and the reasons for its origination really have nothing to do with Frankenstein at all. At the next park meeting, we will learn will about where this celebration comes from and why we celebrate it with the traditions that we have. Pumpkin carving, costume parties and trick or treating. We will learn about it while we decorate our very own scary treats.

The next park meeting will be October 8. We will be doing a group writing project. Each person needs to bring a paper or notebook. On the top of that paper, write one good strong sentence that will serve as the beginning of your story. Each person will be contributing to each story. Be sure to bring a pencil or two and wear your creative hats.

Our first park meet up was terrific. Airplanes flew and smiles abounded – despite the rain.
The next park meet up will be on Thursday September 24. We will be learning some fabulous card tricks that will impress all of your friends. I would like each child to please bring a new deck of cards.

Can’t wait to see everyone.

Park group begins meeting THIS week on Thursday. We will be meeting in the activity room at Cutler Bay Park at noon. Someone please do the sun dance for us so our weather is beautiful.
See you all on Thursday!!!!
