LOVE THIS TOWN: Thursdays

I love my town. It is laid back, casual, a perfect blend of hippies, hillbillies and rich retired folks... with a few of us "none of the above" sprinkled in. Big enough to have lots going on, not big enough for horrible traffic. Voted most independent restaurants per capita recently, very earthy and organic but you can also find a walmart when you need one. :)

Well, a friend mentioned that I should blog about fun things to do here in Ashevegas, so I will try and list some of the fun things we do... some free, some not, but hopefully all fun.

So, tonight we will start with THURSDAYS!

On Thursday nights we head to Earthfare for free kids meals! With a $5 purchase from the deli area (I usually treat myself to some sushi or lettuce wraps, but you can also get wraps, pizza of stuff from the hot bar) you get up to six free kids meals. (They are usually only $4). You get your pick of sandwich (chicken salad, ham and cheese, pbj, soy nuggets and more), a fruit or vege (carrots and dip, raisins or grapes/bananas/oranges/apple... and you can pick), a snack (cheese stick, yogurt, animal cookies- that are dairy, wheat, rice free! - organic goldfish or gummies) and a drink (milk or juice box).

We usually pack up our lunches and head out for a picnic... sometimes on the front lawn. But a couple weeks ago we went downtown and found a concert in Prichard Park. Put on by a local radio station for the summer (so it is almost over), they have Homegrown artists from 6-8. Fun music... as you can see Ben, Naomi and my friend Missy's little girl Alina really got into it!

These kids can move! Enjoy the videos!
