Last weekend I went on a women's retreat, which meant that dad was flying solo for the whole weekend. Before I left, I pulled up the grkids.com Calendar and ran through the options with my husband (even I don't remember everything that's happening and I'm the one who entered it into the calendar!)
The Home Depot kid clinic held the most appeal, so he took the kids to the Cascade Home Depot store at about 10am. That day the project was building a race track. They were lucky and got one of the last racetrack kits. Other families had to make do with a book-end project.
Norah and Ethan both took turns helping dad pound the nails, all the while wearing their new (free) Home Depot Aprons.
Dad reported back that the place was pretty busy, but he didn't have any trouble doing the project with a 2 and 4 year-old.
Home Depot clinics occur regularly on the first Saturday of the month from 9am to 12 noon, while supplies last.
As always, you can find this children's event and more the Grand Rapids Kids event calendar!
