BOO it's Halloween!
Oh poor neglected LongmontMom blog. Anyone know where I can find a few more hours in the day? :)
Anyway...
Halloween is Saturday! Looking for fun stuff to do in and around Longmont? Great! Here's what I know:
Longmont Halloween Parade - Line up at 9:30 at Roosevelt Park and then parade your adorable costumes down Main Street. Follow that up with Trick or Treating at the shops along Main and it's a perfect way to spend Halloween morning! Here's a link to the parade route in case you feel like watching instead of walking!
Dia de los Muertos - The Longmont Museum and Cultural Center hosts it's annual Day of the Dead Celebration on Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. From their website: "Music, dancing, singing, sugar skull decorating, traditional food, community altars, paper flower making, Día de los Muertos tattoos, and more. Free Admission.
Safe Halloween Night at the Longmont Recreation Center - Visit the Rec Center from 6 to 8:30 pm Saturday for carnival games and boat rides in the pool. This one is best for kids 10 and under.
And an outside of Longmont event? The Munchkin Masquerade, Trick or Treating down Pearl Street in Boulder, has been postponed to Sunday, November 1st, from 1 to 4 pm. More than 60 stores will have candy and activities! Get a map at the Daily Camera parking lot (10th and Pearl) before heading out.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

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"
