MasonMetu Upcoming Events - Dec. 17-25
kjgoecke
I hope you and your family enjoy the holidays this year. I've been
feeling a little bit overwhelmed trying to get everything done. At
least I got our holiday gifts out to Grandpa in Las Vegas today so
that makes me feel a bit better (the US Postal Service has these great
priority flat rate shipping boxes and you pay one flat fee no matter
how heavy the item is as long as it fits in the box).
I think I mentioned the Beach Waterpark Holiday Fest before but I just
did a post on it for Family Friendly Cincinnati so you can see if it's
something that might interest you over the holiday break. See
http://familyfriendlycincinnati.com/?p=1079.
We also just had our mini-vacation 5 minutes from home at the Great
Wolf Lodge. Snowland in the Grand Lobby is really fun for the kids so
if you have a chance head over to see their Clocktower Show at 8pm and
your kids will love seeing the snow coming down indoors. If you
haven't made New Year's Eve plans, this might be a fun place to take
the family - enjoy a night of festive fun then swim at the waterpark
the next day. See more info on http://www.masonmetu.com/great-wolf-lodge-mason.php.
I also have a mini photo gallery up on the amusement/waterpark page at
http://www.masonmetu.com/amusement-and-water-parks.php (love learning
how to add new additions to MasonMetu).
Qdoba is having Kids Eat Free all weekend. It starts after 4pm on
Friday and is good all day Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 18-20). See more
details on http://www.masonmetu.com/kids-eat-free.php.
Under MasonMetu New Finds on the main blog page, read about a new
dance studio that is opening up in the Kings Auto Mall - they will
have dance classes as well as teen dance nights. It's called 513
Dance Studio and looks like a fun new addition to Mason.
If you live in the Mason City School district, please see the blurb on
the main blog page regarding the possibility of Mason Schools loosing
$3 million in school funding for 2010 and even more for 2011. You can
click on a link to email Senator Shannon Jones if you'd like to show
them that you support our schools and don't want the funding to be
eliminated. Go to http://www.masonmetu.com/.
