Man, I love this town! Look how many fun things are going on this weekend … now to narrow it down.
That’s always the tough part, Isn’t it? I think we will hit the book festival and the Kids’ Day in the Park if we can. See you there?
We plan to be at both, too! Hopefully we’ll have a chance to meet, finally!
I love LOVE that, Melissa! I can’t believe we still haven’t met in person yet.
I told my husband that this year I want to go to the Poteet Strawberry Festival! We probably won’t get to go for free, short notice, but I desp want to go…
dang, I just looked and it is Fri- Sunday of this week… Argh…
Too soon? This one always sneaks up on me. 🙂
Oh there is so much to do! I’m sure Little Man will want to see Daniel the tiger. Of course I’ll need to hit up the used book sale too.
The used book sale is amazing. We go every year and get such great deals – especially on kids’ books.
This is one of the things I love about San Antonio: there’s always something free available to do!
Yes, Patti! So many fun, free events. Gotta love San Antonio.
I am going to Poteet Strawberry Festival.
BTW, Ingram Mall has “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” for the Kidgets Club ($5 for a year) this saturday from 9-11.
Cool! Good to know, Bonita. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this list!! I’m going to try to go to a couple of these events this weekend 🙂
Maybe I’ll see you at one, Ashley! 😉
I need to find something free without the crowds! I always feel like I’m going to lose one of my kids!
