Gentlemen,
Before I post this weeks location, I'm going to do a drive by today. Don't get any ideas. Just going to see if a couple of them are up to our lofty standards. We will be in South Pasadena, somewhere.
If you have any ideas, give me a call at 626-836-2237.
Look for more news later today.

After scouting 2 parks this morning, I'm glad I did. They wouldn't do us right. I think the kids will like this weeks playground, we're heading north to Farnsworth Park at 568 E. Mount Curve Ave. just off of Lake St. in Altadena. Their phone number is (626) 798-6335. Looks like this one has all we need. We'll be their from 9:30 to 11:30 or until those little ones give us other orders.
Give Bill a call if you have questions, need directions or just want to say hi.
626-836-2237.

This week we'll be going to the Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park for their International Butterfly Show going on all this month. The show is $6 for adults, $4 for children, and 3-under get in FREE. $10 gets you a free pin and unlimited access to the show during it's stay-- in case you're interested.

It's supposed to rain on Friday, but from what I understand the show is indoors. I've never been to this place, and I can't say whether it is child-friendly. I'll be happy to change the venue if it seems like a bad idea.

Hope to see everyone!

Guys,

We're meeting in Sierra Madre this week at the park on East Sierra Madre Blvd. It is located at the town Rec center, pool, dog park and ball fields. It is about 1 mile east of the Sierra Madre Blvd. & Baldwin intersection at the Arcadia border. The play area was just installed about 5 weeks ago, so it's in good shape and will suit our little ones perfectly. There are bathrooms and plenty of parking. See you around 9:30.

If you have any questions, give me a call at 626-836-2237.

Fellger is a nice small playlot at the corner of Belmont and Damen (2000 W. Belmont) in Roscoe Village. Usually, there is ample street parking and lots of nannys to chat with. Across from the park is Tony's (mexican) and Bleeding Heart Bakery (Kevin, they have a great vegan cupcake). I won't be able to make it as I'll be eating Chowdah in Boston. Enjoy yourselves.
