Top Weekend Picks for May 31st-June 2nd

Top Weekend Picks for May 31^st-June 2^nd

Happy Thursday!  It is almost the weekend, so I’m making my top weekend picks.  These picks are picks that appeal to my working mom schedule, and my interests.  They may not be yours, so please check out all of our local events on the blog.  It is going to be a hot weekend!  Please make sure you get those kids coated in sunscreen and hats, you too moms!  Rather than pack your weekend full, this weather calls for baby pools and cool drinks:)

All Weekend:

·      East End farmer’s markets are up and running!!! This hot weather calls for lots of fresh produce, so check out East Hampton, Hayground, Sag Harbor, Westhampton Beach, or Southampton this weekend!

·      It’s going to be a hot one!  Enjoy our local beaches, see http://theeastendmommy.blogspot.com/2013/05/summer-2013-beach-information-its-time.html, and our local outdoor eating establishments.  Let us know your favorite beaches and outdoor restaurants.

Saturday, June 1^st:

·      10:00 am-3:00pm- Phillips Avenue Community Festival.  This looks so great!  My son loves dancing to music, so I’m excited to see Brady Rymer perform.  There will also be BMX stunt riders, and kids can bring their bikes for a bike rodeo.  And of course, traditional fair foods, games, and rides.  The event costs $3 and is free for kids 2 and under and all Phillips Avenue students.  Phillips Avenue School is located at 141 Phillips Avenue in Flanders.

·      10:30 am- Beach Scavenger Hunt in East Hampton led by South Fork Natural History Museum educators.  This is for ages 3-5, and a great way for your preschooler to learn more about their local ecosystem.  Please call 631-537-9735 as reservations are necessary.

·      12:00- Speech, Language, and Hearing Milestones- Join Peconic Pediatrics to learn more about your child’s development.  A licensed speech-language pathologist will share what is typical for your child’s development, how to talk with your child, simple strategies to apply with your child, and how to learn more about and pursue speech therapy.  This event is open to everyone, regardless if Peconic Peds are your doctors.  Just drop in to learn more!

·      2:00- Storytime Yoga at Kamaveda Kids- Kid’s yoga open to strong walkers up to age 6.  The stretches and poses are thematic based on a children’s book.  Kamaveda is located  at 15 Lumber Lane, 2A in East Hampton.

Sunday, June 2^nd:

·      Hamptons Collegiate Baseball Season begins!  My husband loves all sports, and is dying to take our son to a baseball game.  I’m not sure JJ is ready for the prime time, even a minor league game, so the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is great for us.  He gets to watch a game, be close to home, and run around too!  Plus, no ridiculously expensive tickets and concessions.  Games start this Sunday.  On Sunday at 5:00pm, you can see the North Fork Ospreys play the Riverhead Tomcats at Riverhead High School, the Westhampton Aviators play the Southampton Breakers at Stony Brook Southampton, or the Shelter Island Bucks play the Sag Harbor Whalers at Mashashimuet Park.  I’m thinking Mashahsimuet as that will give JJ the most room to playJ  Look for a post about Hamptons Collegiate Baseball soon and check out their website here http://pointstreaksites.com/view/hamptonsbaseball/hamptons-collegiate-baseball-league.
