Preteen Kids Out on the Town!

Another fun preteen "Friday Night Live." This time it was a "car rally/ camera party" thing..... Three cars driving around town, opening up clues along the way, to find fun and/or unusual things around Lakewood and Long Beach such as...

*The giant cow at the Rockview Dairy on the corner of Bellflower and Del Amo

*The airplane at Del Valle Park on Woodruff

*The cinderella pumpkins at the park on Candlewood next to Gompers elementary school

*The pyramid at Long Beach State!

and finally, the fountain at Long Beach Town Center, where we of course stopped for ice cream or pretzels.

Thanks so much to our drivers, Becky Dugan and Heather Klingsporn. Oh and by the way... BOYS are WAY noisier than GIRLS when driving around town! I have the noisiest boys in the world in my preteen group! Wow! Seriously! But they sure are CUTE!

Preteen kids hit Downtown Disney

One of our recent activities for our 5th Graders.. the preteen group at our church. We had hoped to hang out at EPSN zone, but discovered that it was a 3 hour wait for a table on a Friday Night... not gonna happen with a dozen hungry 5th graders! So we ate at Wetzels Pretzels and then did some playing at the Lego store and the Disney store. I think the kids were just happy to be together and happy to be at the "Happiest Place on Earth!" So kids... if you're out there and you're listening, what kinds of activities to you like to do with your friends?????
