Fairies, Festivals and Sunshine

I am counting down the hours to get the weekend started. Weather is my kind of perfect and looks good through Sunday. 

I'm kicking off my weekend with the kiddo with an afternoon picnic dinner at the park with friends. Freedom or Latta? Decisions. There is a little art in the park event for kids happening at Latta between 3 and 5:30pm you might want to check out. 

Make plans to cheer on some very energetic and determined children at the Birkdale Animal Hospital Kids Triathlon in Huntersville. Look for the Charlotte Parent table to pick up your event code card to earn 100 points for the Fit Family Challenge. Don't know what the Fit Family Challenge is? Check it out and motivate to better health with your family, and the chance to win a trip to Universal Orlando Studios.

Charlotte Nature Museum is hosting a Fairy Festival Saturday. Make fairy and hobbit houses, and see a live butterfly release in the butterfly pavilion.
