One of the things I missed out on posting was that Santa arrived at Twin Peaks last Friday! He's there every day in the North Court so stop by to say hi and maybe even have your kids' picture taken with him! He's there Monday through Saturday from 11am to 8pm and Sundays from 11am to 6pm through December 24! There are also a couple of events coming up featuring Santa:
Breakfast with Santa - December 6
9am-11am at Country Buffet
Children under 12 eat free with purchase of an adult meal.
Pet Photo Night with Santa - December 10 6pm-8pm
Bring your friendly pet for a photo op with Santa Claus!

New Program at Sunflower Farms for homeschoolers
From an email I received from the owner of Sunflower Farms, Bren Frisch:
In January, Sunflower Farm is introducing a unique afternoon program designed especially for home-schooled children. This outdoor program focuses on on each child's individual strengths, incorporating imagination, risk taking and critical thinking into a team-based approach. Using nature as resource, this small group of kids will explore rural life style. While an indoor setting is provided, our intention is to be outdoors as much as possible.
When: Wednesday afternoon Jan. 7 - Feb. 27 (8 class series)
Where: Sunflower Farm, 11150 Prospect Road, Longmont, CO 80504
Time: 12:30-3:00
Ages: 5 to 8
Cost: $225
Contact: 303-774-8001
Facilitator: Emilie Hilgers
EMILIE HILGERS lives with her husband Chris and six year old son Charlie and a family dog named Lisl. She has been teaching young children for 19 years. Putting her heart, body and soul into her work, she is absolutely passionate about children. Emilie has been working with the Sprouts the past two summers at Sunflower Farm. Offering profound insight, expertise and
knowledge, Emilie has been instrumental in developing the unfolding and evolving vision of the SproutHouse program. She is eagerly awaiting your arrival and welcomes you to either drop off your child or stay and observe.

Play Grounds in Boulder closing
How sad that such a kid-friendly place as Play Grounds in Boulder is closing! Here's the email that's going around from the owners:
"From: play@playgroundscafe.com
Subject: Play Grounds: Final month
Dear Friends,
We have made a difficult personal decision and are relocating to the east coast to be closer to family. Sadly, Play Grounds will be closing at the end of this year on Saturday, December 20. It is a bitter sweet decision as we must leave behind our creation, but we have the chance for our children to grow up with their grandparents. It has been a magical and crazy year. We thank you all for supporting us, and being great guests.
For our members, we have reimbursement checks for the remaining balance of your memberships. You may pick them up at the front counter.
We wish you well in your parenting journeys; may they be filled with love and joy.
Kari and Kenny"

Whoa - another Loveland bounce place?
As I posted below about Bounce returning to Loveland, I came across an email advertising "Jumpin" which is apparently another bouncy place in Loveland. Have any of you been there? You can visit their website here for more info. We might have to check this place out! If you've been let us know what it's like!
Remember Bounce in Loveland?
So many of us were sad when Bounce!, the jumpy castle place in Loveland, closed last February. Well guess what? They're reopening at a new location in January! Yay! Not that Bouncetown here in Longmont isn't great, but it's fun to have an alternative that's not too far away! See this page for more info on their new location!

Crocs Warehouse Sale
I have been so busy and have such a backlog of emails that I have to apologize for those events that I missed or emails I haven't responded to! I'm trying! Does this year seem busier to anyone else? It seems that every day something new gets added to our own family calendar and frequently there are several 'must do' things overlapping! Eek! :)
Check out the Crocs Warehouse sale in the old JCPenney store at Twin Peaks! I went to the Friends and Family pre-sale today and scored some great deals! They have all different styles and sizes along with Crocs swag like t-shirts, hats, bags, etc. They even have some of their higher end shoes (did you know Crocs makes golf shoes? I didn't but my husband was psyched!) for great prices. Always love a great deal! Oh, the sale lasts through Sunday. See here for more info!
(And for those of you who've guessed who I am over the last year and I either didn't respond or playfully misled you, I'm pretty sure you know me after this post! haha! I'm ok with being 'outed' but it was fun to be anonymous for a while!)
