July's Official Schedule...unofficially! :)

Alright ladies, after brainstorming some fun playdate ideas at our last get-together, we finally have a schedule!! That way you don't have to wait for someone to post our location at the last minute (usually me!). We hope to see you all here and at the other FUN activities our wonderful ward women have put together! Now no one has an excuse for a lame-o summer, or not getting to know other amazing ladies! All you have to do is show up. (P.S. If anyone is car-less and needs a ride to a get-together, please e-mail me. We've had several women volunteer to pick up others so that everyone can come.)

The schedule...we tried to alternate close parks (within ward boundaries) and other fun spots that might require a little bit of driving. Again, if you just need a ride and would otherwise come, please let me know! We'd love to have you!

June 30th: Royal/Throne Park (also known as "the dog park")

July 7th: Oakway Park (behind Trader Joe's, has a fun water feature so dress kids accordingly)

July 14th: Bethel Community Park (also known as "the sand park")

July 21st: Skinner Butte Park, also POT-LUCK WEEK!! (bring something to share!)

July 28th: Swimming at "The Woodland's" Appt complex, courtesy of Michelle Asper!

There you have it! Just a reminder, it's at 10:30-12ish. And if you know anyone in the ward that doesn't yet know about our playgroup, please pass this on!!

Now for more ward-fun schedules... Margaret sent me another list of REALLY FUN Activities! (I hope you don't mind me re-posting this) :) And thanks for whoever else helped in putting this together, it all sounds awesome...I had no idea there were free movies or discounted swim days! Here it is:

See you at the park!!

Sorry for posting this so late, but since we got rained out of the park last week, let's try it again for tomorrow! So we'll see everyone at Bethel Community Park (see map from previous posting if you need directions) at 10:30. I know it's the 3rd Wednesday and we're supposed to do a pot-luck, but since we're so late on the planning, how about everyone just bring a finger-food to share!! However, if you don't want to bring anything...don't let that deter you from coming, we'd rather see you! Also, Kristan Johnston is going to be bringing ice cream cones for everyone to celebrate Maggie's birthday so dessert is covered (and if anyone else's kids eat ice cream like mine...dress them accordingly!). :) Can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

The sun will come out tomorrow...

But for now we have to move inside, darn it! We will hopefully see you all at Putter's at 10:30. It is indoor and free!! (Just come to the back playground past the sitting area for pizza.) See you there!

Welcome to our Blog!!

To all Santa Clara 4th Ward Women (and any friends or visitors!)...
Welcome to our official blog for our Mom & Tot group! We are so excited to start this up so that we as women can get together to build friendships, strengthen each other, vent, bond, let our kiddos get out all their energy...and just have a fun time! We will be posting our locations for each week's get-togethers here, so check it often. You are all also welcome to use this blog to post anything cool you find, plans you want to include others in, or simply if you made tons of cupcakes and need others to help you finish them! We look forward to seeing everyone weekly. Here are the details...

Every Wednesday at 10:30 - 12:00. On the 3rd Wednesday of every month we will do a pot-luck lunch, otherwise just bring a sack lunch or snacks.

Location for Wednesday June 16th: Bethel Community Park.

In case of rain we will be at Putter's Indoor Playground.

If you have any questions, or would like to be added to the list to be able to post to this blog, please contact Brooke Wolfley: (801) 330-1515, brookelyn47@hotmail or Michelle Asper: (541) 968-6843. We hope to see you all (and your cute kids) soon!!
