Top Weekend Picks

Well, I think Friday and Saturday might end up being a washout. I’m hoping they’re not, but if they are, it’s a perfect time to look into our local indoor activities. Experience nature indoors at the aquarium in Riverhead, the Long Island Science Center in Riverhead, or the South ForkNatural History Museum in Bridgehampton. Experience and create art at Hamptons Art Space in Hampton Bays or TheParrish Art Museum in Water Mill. Get active indoors at Safari Adventure in Riverhead. Here are some more indoor activities for Friday and Saturday:

Friday

10:30 am- Start your weekend of right with a workout! Check out Baby Boot Camp in Southampton. This is a great way to get fit, while still being with your child. Classes are held rain or shine at First Presbyterian Church of Southampton.

6:00pm-7:30pm- Pizza and Pajamas! What a great way to enjoy a rainy night. Come to CMEE in your pajamas. Eat pizza, hear a story, and do an art activity. This event is for all ages with caregivers.

Saturday

10:00 am Funtastic Science Class at CMEE- This is the start of a 4 week class for ages 2 and up at CMEE. Each week is a different theme.

10:00 am Shark Dissection at SoFo- So sad JJ is too young for this one, because this is right up my husband’s alley. Ages 8 and up can join the SoFo staff for a spiny dogfish dissection.

2:00pm Storytime Yoga- A rainy day is a good day for a story and yoga. The class is a Kamadeva Kids in East Hampton for all yogis walking to age 6.

Sunday

I’m banking on the weather being nice today!!!! I really hope it is because I want to head to the Long Island Steamers Public Run Day!!

10:30- 3:00 Long Island Steamers Public Run – Southaven Park, Brookhaven

1:00- 4:00 Kickoff to Summer with Riverhead Town- Celebrate the summer and check out Riverhead Town’s summer programs at Stotsky Park in Riverhead. There will also be refreshements and entertainment.

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.
