Free Car Seat Safety Check This Saturday!

With all of the fun summer activities in full swing, I would plan for one more that may save the life of your child. Tomorrow, June 9th, Utah County Health Department is sponsoring a FREE car seat check event at RC Willy in Orem from 10am-Noon.

So come by for a free hot dog lunch and take a few minutes to make sure your child's car seat will keep them safe through all of your fun summer plans!

Spring Has Sprung!

Happy Spring!  I am excited to say that the random "day before spring snowstorm" has come and gone and the sun is out again and warming up Utah Valley. I don't know about you but I am excited for the warmer weather, longer days, and outside fun. I decided to compile a few fun activities you and your kids may enjoy.

1. Neighborhood Sidewalk Chalk art shows: get all the kids together in the neighborhood and have them "chalk it up".
2. Attend the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday April 7th at Pioneer park in Provo.

3. Go on a bike ride or rollerskating
4. Have a picnic in your backyard

5. Walk around the neighborhood and look at the flowers blooming and the leaves coming out on the trees.
6.  Have story time outside in the sunshine
7. Make homemade bubbles
