On my hunt for events this weekend, I found another $5 off coupon for Water Slide World in today’s Gazette. Poking around the internet for special events, I noticed a For the Love of Dance 10-week program at the National Museum of Dance designed to offer 2- to 5-year-olds a smorgasbord of dancing experiences. Here’s … [Read more…]
I’ve been receiving emails about fall classes, so I thought that I’d share a few: Yoga with Cathy: this instructor has some serious groupies, and she’s got classes for pregnant moms, parents & teensy babies, toddlers, and more. Music Box Arts: these Music Together class begin later in September, but there are free demo classes … [Read more…]
Okay, my parents are visiting and we’re meeting cute W in downtown Albany for lunch tomorrow, but any suggestions on what else we should do? Went to State Museum with them last time, Albany Institute & Albany Art Room are closed on Mondays, too wet & chilly for outdoor fun, don’t want to stray too … [Read more…]
My final Lake Placid report includes what I’d consider to be our least successful day. For me, there’s a ratio that I have in my head regarding any outings. Well, that’s not true: I just thought of it. But it’s informally lodged in my subconscious, I guess, and it goes something like this: Kid Enjoyment … [Read more…]
Okay, collecting events today made me a little wistful. . . summer programs are winding down. Here’s what I’ve found: All Weekend: The Altamont Fair continues, but Sunday is the last day.

Most branches of the Albany Public Library are having an end-of-summer celebration either this week or next week. Monday, August 16th: It’s Western Day at the Children’s … [Read more…]
I’ll have a week’s schedule out tomorrow. I can’t do it tonight. Perhaps I can play upon your sympathy? I went and visited two of my sisters this weekend. This sisterly-bonding trip was not as relaxing as it might sound. I’m not going into it. Well, if you run into me personally and ask, I’ll … [Read more…]
I keep forgetting to add it to the weekend post, but a friend recently took her young kids to the Double M Western Store Rodeo in Ballston Spa, and she said it was “a blast”. It’s on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm until September 3rd. They’ve got pony rides, clowns, and barrel riding … [Read more…]
Hey! It’s almost Friday the 13th! It’s supposed to be lucky if you were born on the 13th. . . which I was. So, woo, hoo! Of course, most people still go with spooky. In fact, at the Saratoga Race Track, they’re encouraging kids to come in costume and parade and trick or treat. Here … [Read more…]
