week of august 22, 2010

sorry for the late post!

monday, august 23, 9 AM-11 AM
a few mamas with bambinos have been meeting on mondays at 9 AM for time at the zoo. this does require a membership or pay for admission, although if you let us know in advance, we should be able to get any nonmembers in with the multiple Members + Guest options. please email bambinobrigade@gmail.com if you plan to come so we can match memberships with guests. we meet at the gate at 9 AM and usually stay until about 11 AM. we do not usually bring lunch.

wednesday, august 25

*7:30 AM*
fast-paced, early morning hike.
to beat the heat, some mamas will be hiking at 7:30 AM. the group is rather small and there's a chance you could be the only one. this will be a fast-paced hike. usually finished close to 9 AM.

*9:30 AM*
we have multiple options for hikes. some take south lake trail for shorter legs, while others are trucking up ganier and coming back south lake. whatever your desire, most likely we will have someone going that hike. PLEASE BRING PLENTY OF WATER. this heat is really intense and your and your baby's safety is critical to me! usually finished around 11:30 AM. some meet for lunch after, so feel free to join.

friday, august 27, 9:30 AM-11:30 AM
9:30 AM
ellington agricultural center
**we are changing our meeting location, as we are outgrowing the parking lot at the iris garden. come up the hill from the iris garden entrance and park anywhere around the grounds up there. there are multiple parking options. we will meet by the garden, behind the museum. we will have a short hike, go see the horses and then eat lunch right by the fish pond (it's at the deck area). call if you get lost: 587-0630.

our rain policy is hike as long as there is no thunder or lightening!

as a seed to consider: as the weather cools, we will be changing our friday fun days from a 9:30 AM meet-up to a 3:30 PM meet-up. we have many friends that have started school this week and we send love and peace to them in this new journey (for them and family). we want to continuing seeing these friends, so this change on fridays will be a great addition to the brigade! also, it has been recommended that one friday a month we can all go out to supper together as a group after our friday hike. more information to come over the next few weeks!

*window clings
window clings are IN! they look amazing. if you have already paid $5, I will get you one when I see you. otherwise, we are selling them for $5 right now!
5" x 3", rectangular clear cling, white ink

happy hiking!
