Film in the Park


This summer's first Film in the Park is this Friday, August 5th.  They will be showing Ice Age: The Meltdown at 8:15pm in Civic Green Park (next to the library).  Bring a blanket and some snacks.  The event is free :)  Plan to arrive early as it will get crowded.  No dogs are allowed at the park.  Ferngully will be shown on August 12th and Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 The Squeakquel on August 19th.  We love this Highlands Ranch tradition!

Museum

The Littleton Museum is such a fun experience that I had to post about it.  Inside they have a historical museum (with an interactive children's section) as well as an art gallery.  Outside they have 39 acres of farms, a lake, school house, farm houses and of course a lot of animals.

Millie's calf (born July 15th)

This is a perfect place to go with children of all ages.  Jack loved seeing all of the animals!  In the fall they have a Harvest Festival (this year it will be held on October 8th.)  There is no price for admission - however they do accept donations.  For more information check out their website.

Splash Park

We finally made it to the splash area at Civic Green Park!  Jack had so much fun, and it was a perfect alternative to the pool.  They have two different areas, one closer to the playground, and one is right by the stage.  I recommend going early because it gets crowded!
