Happy National Family Day

Are the hectic school schedules of the fall season getting to you yet?  Are you longing for those past summer days of fun in the sun? Well, lucky for you it’s National Family Day and we’re here to help you plan out your next weekend with a few upcoming events that the entire family can enjoy together!

First up is MommyCon.  This is a great event if you have really young kids and are interested in getting plugged into the latest and greatest gadgets for parents.  MommyCon prides itself on being a “nationwide convention series dedicated to creating and nurturing a community of parents and parents-to-be in celebration of natural parenting.”  There are panels and workshops in addition to an extensive exhibitor hall for all your shopping delights. Although they have conventions throughout the nation all year long, the next local MommyCon is coming up next month on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at the Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove, CA.  If you haven’t been to Great Wolf Lodge, it’s a wonderful indoor water park and resort. With so much to see and do, why not make an entire weekend of it! General Admission tickets are $25 but you’ll get a free gift if you upgrade to one of their premium options. Children under 16 are free. For more details and other locations, visit https://mommycon.com.

If you’re looking for something to do with your older kids, we suggest checking out the inaugural POP Katoons going on at the Pasadena Convention Center on the weekend of October 5-6, 2019.  This event looks like the place to be for a mix of entertainment and pop culture all rolled up into one. Be mesmerized at the Magic Show, have a ball of a time in the Bubbly Ball Pit, get ready for the X-games with skateboarding demos, dance the weekend away at a Rock Concert, or let your imagination flow onto the pages at the Be Artzi Station.  With so many exhibits to choose from, we’re excited to bring our kids for some epic fun! While you’re at our Be Artzi Station, be sure to tag us so we can feature your awesome creations!
