Lots to Do to Stay Warm and Occupied
It's going to be cold outside for a while. The weather forecast doesn't show us hitting 50 degrees in the next week. I know, I know, it's February. Last weekend, instead of freezing outside, I headed to Aunt Nina's Sweets and Treats for the Sweets for the Sweet Art show. The show honored Thea DeLuna. I bought a couple crayon necklaces for the boys and indulged in the traditional Chicago mix of popcorn - that's caramel and cheese mixed together. That warms the soul.
If you're not a fan of the cold or not brave like the runners at the Frosty 5 Mile last weekend, all hope is not lost. There are upcoming local events to take your kids to that are indoors. And adults might enjoy it too.
Starting at 2 p.m., Feb. 18, grab a seat at the Three Rivers Public Library, Minooka Branch and catch a family-friendly movie - with snacks. You need to register for the event ahead of time.
Are you the mom of a son? The Channahon Park District has an event for you. On March 8, boys and their moms will have a dinner buffet, sundae bar and watch a treat of Dave DiNaso's Traveling World of Reptiles.
