One of our favorite summer hangouts in Dallas-Fort Worth is Hawaiian Falls which opened its doors officially on Saturday, May 26, 2012
Thanks to the sweet folks at Hawaiian Falls, they let me and 5 children into the Garland waterpark for a sneak peek at the newest additions. Yes, beware when you invite me anywhere in the summer time…I come with a SUV load of children.

In its regional Southwest premiere, Dallas Children’s Theater’s Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly artfully weaves together three of Doreen Cronin’s popular children’s books. Directed by Joan Cushing, Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly brings to life a cast of lively and colorful characters. The show combines engaging story lines with interesting facts designed to educate the audience about each of the characters. The factual tidbits are nicely done via a large screen in the background, classroom show & tell sessions and occasional “pop up” appearances by the cast that are quite funny! The production also incorporates several high energy musical/dance arrangements featuring hip hop, rap, ballads and boogie-woogie music.

The CityArts Festival returns to Fair Park on Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 25 through Sunday, May 27, 2012. Free and open to the public, CityArts Festival also features ARTFEST, which returns to its traditional outdoor setting featuring art by nearly 150 artists.
A bouquet of these cute flowers inspired by Kaboose.com would make a great end-of-year teacher gift. If you don’t have photos of the whole class, your kids can color the rest of the flowers.
