Remember as kids when we played in the yard for hours during our summer vacation? We could be entertained with a sprinkler and a tarp. Or a piece of cardboard and a hill. Not now. No, kids need to be iEntertained. iPad. iPod. iPhone. Let's unplug the fun and start a list of FREE or nearly FREE fun things to do this summer in Kiss Country!
Wow, definitely no shortage of things to do this weekend here in Kiss Country.
Summer is coming! That means, a bunch of bored kids everywhere. So, how about find some great ideas that the kids will love AND learn from. I love Household Hacker because the kids in our house LOVE it
If you love and adore your four legged family member, here's a cool and fun idea- paint a portrait of your pet! Don't worry if you don't have the skills to whip up a masterpiece at home. All you have to do is grab a photo and head to the NCAP workshop (Noel Community Arts Program).
Oh thank goodness! You don't have to fight to stay up until midnight New Year's Eve if you don't want to. The smart folks at Sci-Port are hosting a New Year's at Noon celebration for you and the kids to enjoy complete with balloon drop. Then you can get in bed at a decent time without feeling like a party pooper.
The Kansas City Southern (KCS) Holiday Express train will chug into Shreveport December 5th. The train will be decked out in Christmas decorations for all to enjoy during its stop at Festival Plaza in Downtown Shreveport. And of course, Santa and his elves will be on board!
If you feel like a Holiday Trail of Lights road trip or two, here are the hot spots across our great State for enjoying the lights and festivities! From right here in Kiss Country to Minden, Monroe, Alexandria and Pineville, you will find areas that are already buzzing with excitement!
The largest open air ice skating rink in the state of Texas is just a short drive to Marshall. The celebration begins next Wednesday, November 23rd. Wonderland of Lights is in its 25th year of creating Christmas magic in Marshall, Texas. A few highlights: snow tubing, music, horse drawn carriage rides, laser light shows.
Yes, you have a chance to dress up like a Zombie and stroll down the streets of Downtown Shreveport. And when people look at you like you are crazy (trust me, they will) all you have to do is tell them you are a Zombie and you are helping the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank. Zombies are funny, hungry people are not. Once they realize that you are a do-gooder, they will take you for the serious Zombie that you are.
The National Wild Turkey Federation has a fun filled day planned for July 9th at Garland Scout Ranch in Stonewall. This JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge Ethics and Sportsmanship) event is for children ages 2 to 17. Jakes Day starts at 8am Saturday July 9th, free t-shirts, free lunch and the chance to watch your kids have a ball!
After watching this video, I remember how much I loved rolling and sliding down the hill in front of my grandmothers house when I was a child. If I were to attempt that now, I would most definitely get all itchy, and probably break something. No worries, neither Luke Bryan nor any of his band members were injured in this adventure. . . or at least they are not admitting it.
