friday, january 29, 2010

Today's FUN FRIDAY is canceled, due to inclement weather (and the fact that we're pretty sure we would be the only ones there, and we need to hit the grocery).

:)

Everyone have a safe, happy & warm weekend. We will see you all in February!

Happy Hiking!

See you all at Ellington Agricultural Center with youngers and olders. Walking aged children (as well as our beloved riders) are welcome.

Be looking for some new opportunities through the Brigade in the coming months! If you have some ideas for great ways we can reach out to be the community support we have all come to love, let us know.

bumper sticker

If you are interested, please email bambinobrigade@gmail.com.

We are considering making bumper stickers for the brigade. We can do a 4"x6" or 3"x4.5". Plan was to have a simple oval sticker. Below logo with the phrase 'mama.baby.hiking.community.' in the black line along the oval at the bottom. Cost will depend on interest - the more we order, the cheaper it is.
Happy hiking!

hiking with the brigade

happy 2010, brigade! hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and new year.

as you all know, it is really cold this week. we were trying to be overly eager and plan to hike this week, but 17 degrees is just a little too cold. many of us would go if not with little ones in tow. that being said, we are planning to still get together this week.

wednesday, january 6 at 10 am in the green hills davis kidd, there is a story time. we would like to meet go to story time then walk around the mall (to at least get some sort of exercise)! hope you can make it.

happy hiking!
