New Friends, Movies & More Festivals!

(Above pics were from the Outdoor Movie at Cambridge City Hall earlier this month)

Hi All

Thanks to everyone that was willing to come up & say HI last Sunday. It was so nice to hear how all of you enjoy the info generated from this group.
I've also been told that City of Waterloo will keep us updated about upcoming events (as I didn't know about BIKEAPLOOSA or I would have let all of you know about it too)

Tomorrow night (THURSDAY)Waterloo Park is playing MONSTERS VS ALIENS(I saw that earlier this month at Cambridge City Hall)It's a really FUN FAMILY MOVIE

There will also be a movie THURSDAY at Cambridge City Hall- IRON MAN

They don't list the movies online, so I took a pic of the stand with the listing sign at the top of this posting.

This Sunday there is another family friendly festival at Victoria Park

Also I've been told that Kids Eat Free certain nights at Ye's Sushi, but I don't remember which days (I'd suggest calling the restaraunts to ask 2 locations in KW)

Kidspark In Victoria Park

Never been to Kidspark?
Well it's the BEST kids event in KW, & even better news IT'S FREE!
Here's the info

You'll need a break from the heat at some point so why not take a break at 1pm & meet other parents from the STUFF TO DO WITH YOUR KIDS IN KITCHENER WATERLOO sites!
We'll be at the coolest place in the park THE VICTORIA PARK SPLASHPAD (also free, just had to add that)

City of Cambridge is playing Monsters VS Aliens (Dreamworks) tonight as well (bring your own lawn chair) It's at 50 Dickson St
If the weather doesn't co-operate they move it inside.

Hi Lisa!
I was wondering if you would be able to send a blast through the stuff to do with your kids in Kitchener, for a contest that is now on for all moms!

The contest is being put on by morethanjustmom.com and Journey Healers.

All the moms who wish to enter, need to visit the above website, click on the contest page and fill out a short survey on what is holding them back from living their best life. The winner will be selected at the end of August and will receive 3 months of life coaching!
If you could send that out it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Catherine
