Thank you-I love your blog! My 2 year old had a great time and a tasty smoothie at the Waterhole. Ms. Nancy brought fun stories and songs.
I called to confirm that it was happening (as hasn't happened in a while) and the woman confirmed…That said, she did sound a bit distracted so it's possible I threw her off. Will pull from listing and confirm tomorrow. Thanks for the nudge!
I think model rocket launches are only the first Sunday of the month.
