This group is for parents interested in playdates and other fun family activities. Specifically, for parents of children in the Columbia Gymboree. I started this group for us to help each other by being able to reach out - whether for outdoor activities like sports or parks, or for movie nights, birthday parties, aquarium and zoo visits, or swapping baby sitting nights for date nights :) But really, the group is all about the kids having fun - together!

If a fun, not so serious outdoor adventure/challenge with no expectations might clear your mind, pick a treasure that sounds enticing enough to look for. Something like a waterfall or diamonds(?) or some salamanders, maybe an artifact, or just a good time.  It could be a good way to get out and have a nice change.  You might bring pets, cameras, journals, etc.  Even if you don't want to join, I could use suggestions for the adventures.
