What to do in KC today (6/24/2017)

Looking for something to do today with the family in Kansas City?  Here are some ideas!

  1.  Did you see the weather forecast for this weekend?  I would suggest you pack up your family and head to a park, the zoo, Worlds of Fun, Deanna Rose.  Something outside because it’s only supposed to be in the 70’s today!  This stuff doesn’t happen in KC very often!  PS:   I would skip the pool.  We went yesterday and it was a little breezy for me.  But it didn’t seem to bother the kids.  Of course!
  2. Big Slick is everywhere!  Has anyone had a Paul Rudd sighting?  Rob Riggle?  Jason Sudeikis? Eric Stonestreet?  It is so awesome that these celebrities come home and bring a few of their friends with them to raise money for Children’s Mercy.  Today is the Big Slick Block Party and bowling tournament at Pinstripes.  The Block Party is free but everything is not.  It’s a fundraiser! Want more info?  Check out their website:  Big Slick KC
  3. Maker Faire KC @ Union Station.  Want to see where creativity + invention + resourcefulness collide?  Then you have to go check out the Maker Faire.  This is the place where passion comes to life for all ages!  Be inspired!  Maker Faire KC

Have a great day! 🙂

Father’s Day in KC

Looking for something fun to do with Dad this weekend?  Here are some of my favorite ideas:

  1.  Top Golf.  Everyone knows that dads love to golf.  OK, well maybe that’s just me stereotyping!  But Top Golf is a lot of fun.  And not just for dad.  It’s like whole family fun!  Check out http://www.topgolf.com for Father’s Day festivities.
  2. Swope Park Rangers game.  Have you heard of them yet?  Well, if you are one of the 30,000 families in the KC area that has a soccer player in your house, you need to know who they are.  They are the USL extension of Sporting KC (they play Division 2 to the MLS).  Their games are fast, energetic, and very family oriented.  You get to be thisclose to all of the soccer action.  Game starts at 4pm!DCNwWbZU0AAehjN
  3. Dads get in free to the KC Zoo.  Introduce Papa Bear to Papa Bear!  And don’t forget the free hotdogs for dads (<— cheap date).
  4. And when all else fails, there is always food!  What dad wouldn’t just love to get a hold of some good ol’ BBQ on his special day!  My fave?  Q39.  Visit their website, http://www.q39kc.com – you can just taste it through your computer!

Whatever you do, just know – spending TIME with dad is what is really important!
