Some Summer Fun!

From Marquetta

I just wanted to pass on a free activity for the kids to do during the summer, and actually year round. Some of the TAP families may be interested. Home Depot and Lowes have building clinics on Saturdays where the kids make all kinds of wooden projects. In the past we have made birdhouses, keepsake boxes, cars, fire trucks, planters etc. Each child gets a free workshop apron and goggles. After they build their project each month, they get a pin to attach to their apron. Home Depot clinics are the first Saturday of every month from 9:00am-12noon. Lowes clinics are the second Saturday of every month from 10:00am-11:00am. We usually go to the Lowes in Montgomeryville, but If you go to the Lowes in Warrington they will give you a certificate for a free kids meal to be used at the Hometown or Old Country Buffet. (2 free meals per paying adult)

We also take advantage of free or reduced meals at some of the area restaurants. Every Tues. kids 12 and under eat for $1.99 at Applebees from the kids menu. At Bennigans, every Tues. kids 12 and under eat free, (1 free kid with each paying adult)
