How have you all been faring with this heat & humidity? We've been hiding out at home the last few days and can't wait to get back outdoors, there's only so many board games and activity books that can keep a kid busy. Sunday seems to be the best day for a little relief with temps below 90, which is perfect for us seeing as we'll be in Juniper park for a kiddie birthday party {the grownups always seem to have a better time than the kids} that we look forward to every year. I can't believe that July is almost over which signifies that the end of Summer break is near and back to school shopping is lurking around the corner. Don't fear though, there are quite a few things going on in the city this weekend. Check out some of these fun-filled events in the city with your family and friends:
