See what people are saying about us…
Thanks for sharing! I have off this Friday and wanted to do something fun with my kids. I think we’ll check out the Food Trucks and then the drive-in concrete at night with my husband. I’ve seen a lot of friends going to drive-in concerts and I’ve wanted to go to one too, so this works out perfectly. Thanks again!
You’re welcome! We really enjoyed the Food Truck at the airport to watch the planes. Do plan extra time in case there is a line for food. Enjoy the concert as well!
I have heard about the Brookfields Farmers Market but never made it out. I think my kids would love it! I remember my first bartering lessons were at the swap meet!
Farmers markets are amazing for kids! It’s a great way to see and buy homemade, fresh local produce and products.
Thank you so much for the sledding hill guide and map! I’m afraid the kids have been getting incredibly restless lately now that the holidays are over and along with the pandemic. Could use some good sledding time to get it out of their system!
You are very welcome. We loved putting it together.
