Sunday with Santa: Sunday, December 7th from 4:00PM – 7:00PM
This is one of the members’ favorite events that we hold and each year it seems to get better and better. If you’ve not been, the biggest appeal is the children get to meet Santa. Well, it is a little more magical than just sitting on his lap and telling him what they want for Christmas. Santa actually gives each child their first gift of the season. You wrap and label a gift for each of your children and Santa will give it to the child that day. This year, we also have:
-Johnson’s PhotoImaging taking photos for us so the lighting will be set. Information on packages will be sent out soon.
-Lil’ Divas and Dudes will be on hand to do any hair touch ups or hairstyles before your kiddos meet Santa. They can also do makeup for the kids as well.
-Cookie Cottage will be doing our cookie table this year. The kids will be able to decorate a holiday cookie that she bakes!
-John A. Freeman, Vice President at Raymond James, is providing the Reindeer Games outside. Expect to see some traditional lawn games. Our gingerbread house is hoping to return again this year too! It’s a great spot to take some fun pictures of the kids.
-Hot and cold passed hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar.

Hi!

You may not be aware, but normally these are late because I’ve been battling the posting system. It hasn’t been me that has been late posting these upcoming event emails and getting them out to all of our members – it has been the system. Well, not this week. It’s totally me. I’ll blame it on Halloween. Halloween is almost here and I’ve been busy this week trying to cram in as many festive harvest-y events as I could since this month completely got away from me! I can’t believe this weekend begins November! Here is what we’ve got on our calendar this week:

Tuesday:

9:00AM – 11:00AM: Playtime at Woodland Community Church

11:00AM- 12:00PM: Fingerpaint and Snacks at Learning Express

Wednesday:

10:30AM – 11:15AM: Open Gym time at Acro-Fit

Thursday:

11:00AM – 12:00PM: Halloween Storytime at Learning Express

Friday:

Happy Halloween!!

Saturday:

6:30PM – 8:30PM: Open Gym time at Lakewood Ranch Gymnastics

Hi everyone!

The BooFest parade is coming uphup Friday night and we are walking in the parade as a group! Any members, kids and families who are interested in walking with us, please come out! We have been asked to be lined up near Olaf’s Creamery by 5:30.

Parking is horrific during this event so a few members have discussed meeting extra early at La Trattoria for pizza at 4:30. That should ease the parking issue and the “mom, I’m hungry” troubles that will no doubt start right when the parade begins.

We hope to see you there and, if you can, leave a comment on the Facebook page post so we know to look for you!

Adrianne mentioned that this will be a Halloween class and the kids can dress up if they like and bring a treat to share for trick or treating at the end of the class. Unfortunately, I was bad about getting this info out in time. If we all forget, don’t worry! We will have coffee, juice and munchkin donuts on hand for a little “party” afterwards! Fun to be fit is $6/family.

Wednesday

9:30-10:15AM – AcroFit is open for some indoor free play with your child. $5 per child/ cash only.
