-If the weather is nice, I like to take my kids to playgrounds and parks to have picnics and let them play.
-Check out this article about the local parks my kids and I like.
-A bit of a drive, but Green Lakes State Park is having a trout restocking day on Wednesday. It looks like something my kids would like.
