If the playground, park and movie routine is getting a little tired, why not do something different with the kids this weekend? From a colorful fun run to a crab feed, these four events will win approval from everyone in the family.
Get out the spare play clothes: LifeBridge Community Church's second annual 1K Kids Color Fun Run allows for young runners to be sprayed with color as they cross the finish line. "Aside from our color fun run obstacle course, the day will be filled with other attractions, too!" write the organizers. "Come and enjoy performers, balloon twisters, a photo booth, face painters, even Ron The Reptile Guy will be making an appearance! We will also have an area for children 5 years old and younger."
