A whole lot of activities going on!!!!!


 This week there are tons of activities for you to do with your little one.  Some free, some affordable and maybe one or two that is worth the money. But let me first start off with my day.  Today my Glo-worm and I went to the Summer and Music concert in Long Beach our day first started off with a train ride on the Blue Line. The Blue line is pretty nasty so Kylee was on stand by with the hand sanitizer once we got pass that we were ready to go and have fun.


We arrived in Long Beach an hour early so I decided to go to a park so Kylee can swing and play around.  The first park we came across was a dog park we looked at the dogs for a minute then headed to Ocean and Cherry to Bixby Park.  This park is horrible.  It was dirty, the play area equipment looked old and I just did not feel comfortable so Kylee and I had lunch and just decided to head back to our free concert.
We arrived at Promenade Square Park and planted our self in a O.K. spot  The band was an alternative, rock, country type but it was cool.  I just enjoyed watching Kylee walk around and say hello to other babies and total strangers.





Overall Kylee and I enjoyed our time and may do it again next week but just arrive later rather than earlier.
So I know you have been waiting on the goodies.  What activities are going on this week that is free, affordable and just worth the money.  Well let's start off with FREE that is always fun. 

Free Fun
  •  Skirball Cultural Center Museum Offers free visits every Thursday
  • Music Center offers free dance classes starting at 6:30PM
    •  July 01 - Bollywood/Bhangra
    • July 15 - Argentine Tango
    • July 29 - Disco
    • Aug 12 - 60s Night
    • Aug 26 - Zydeco
    • Sept 09 - Samba
This may be late for the kiddies but its a cool outing for you and your friends.
  • The Grove Los Angeles:  At the Grove every Thursday they have storytime and activities for kids.  Also at the Grove every Tuesday at Pottery Barn Kids they have story time.  These activities allow your children to meet other children and get out the house.  Both you and your children will enjoy it.
  • Autry National Center:  You will be able to enter this awesome museum for FREE every SECOND TUESDAY of the month. 
  • Los Angeles County Museum of Art also allows you to enter their magnificent museum every SECOND TUESDAY of the month but they also allow you to enter their facilities for FREE every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after 5PM for LA COUNTY RESIDENTS ONLY and with proof (so don't forget your ID)
In addition, at LACMA they offer free story telling every Monday and Friday but you must pick up the tickets at the box office.  So those were my free picks.

Affordable Fun:
This weeks affordable fun is the Wild Life Learning Center in Sylmar, CA admission is only $6 dollars for adults and $5 dollars for kids. Depending on where you live gas may be a slight issue but other than that it beats going to the zoo if you can't afford it.

Pricey but Worth It:
My Pricey but Worth It suggestion is a movie.  At the Grove in LA on Monday's the theater has Monday Morning Mommy Movies. You can bring the kids, bring the baby, let them cry and scream you can enjoy a movie without feeling embarrassed and your kids can be their self.  This is definitely worth it.

So these are my Free and Affordable Fun Tips.  Don't forget to follow me on twitter @FunNLA and have a free and affordable day.
