Playgroup will be at Welles Park in Lincoln Square. Located at the corner of Western and Montrose, the park has the woodchips we missed out on at Oz Park as well as swings, slides, etc....Lots of lunch options in the area and the brown line is a short walk away.

Here is the Chicago Park District description:

I'll miss the playgroup as we have a visitor from New York (yes, Josh I am friends with one other Yankees fan).
But you can contact me on my cell phone if you have any questions (617) 217-1209.

This is a brand new feature for Cincinnati Dads. Bring the wives, bring the kids, and have some family fun once a month! This month we'll be going to Zoo Babies at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens!

Come see special presentations featuring the zoo's furry little cuties and newborns, and get the FREE bonus of seeing...

Zak Morgan, a Grammy Nominated Kids Musician, plays at 11am and 1pm. We saw him last year, and he was a lot of fun. Good music, fun puppets, the whole bag of tricks!

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.

This week we'll be munching down on some Dewey's Pizza in Clifton. Dewey's opens at 11am, so we'll be meeting then to share one of their signature pizzas. The kids can watch the pizza chefs toss the pizza and add the toppings, while the Dads relax and have a morning beer.

After the meal, we'll waddle over to Burnet Woods and check out their trails and playgrounds.

Let's go see Shawn's one act play for the May DNO on Saturday May 31st. The show runs about an hour and a half and starts at 8. If you can't make the play, you could meet us across the street at Chief O'Neills (http://www.chiefoneillspub.com/) afterwards. The theatre's address is: 3502 N. Elston Ave. and we can meet outside fifteen minutes before 8. Tickets cost fifteen dollars or pay what you can.

OK... I'm bound and determined to get this right this week, since my last two playgroups crashed and burned due to unforseen circumstances beyond the control of anyone but lady fate. This week, we'll be downtown at Fountain Square - between walnut & vine and 5th & 6th.

Here we go again. I've checked the weather report and there's no rain in sight. So we are headed to Farnsworth Park in Altadena.
