Bring the Kids

We’re going to Paradise Park! That’s one of my favorite spots to enjoy with my grandkids—a delightful educational play spot right off 470/291 in Lee’s Summit with lots of great things to do and experience for kids from tiny to big! Granddaughter Carlyn and I went there to play last week—splashed in the water tables, checked out pretend groceries in the play store, made a beautiful “apple tree” out of the art supplies, and played outside on the little-kids’ jungle gym.

On December 7th, we’ll get to go back! For the first time, The Friends have made arrangements to have one of our “What Makes It Great?” performances there. Entertaining and educational Rob Kapilow, with the Biava and Penderecki String Quartets, will explore and perform Mendelssohn’s Octet. 2:00 Sunday afternoon, December 7, 2008. We’ll have an entire afternoon to learn about classical music together with our families, grab a bite at the food court, and play together until we’re all happily exhausted! (Paradise Park is staying open late especially for us folks going to the music program.)
Be sure to join Carlyn and me (oh, and maybe her mama and daddy) at Paradise Park on December 7th.

Great music with great fun! Great combination!
