Aladdin& Salem Art Fair& Da Vinci Days!!!!
Hi! Everyone- Just a month into summer vacation and I'm starting to hear that Bananarama song with new lyrics rattle around in my brain - "It's a cruel, cruel summer - leaving me here with these kids on my own...loud voices are shouting-where is my snack?-that water is warm! I will go bonkers with one more puppet show..." Well, luckily there are more than enough activities around town this week and even more if you're up for a road trip to Corvallis or Salem!!!! Keep Cool! Suzanne
