There are so many places to go, and so many things to see in our area. There are things to do with the family and things just for the two of you, too. Do you have date nights? I know it may be difficult to do sometimes. This is especially true for those new in town, or if you do not have any family living near you. There are a few options you can consider, however.
- KidsPark offers childcare by the hour - days, evenings and weekends.
- YMCA hosts parents night out events 1-2 times per month. You do not need to participate in any other programs.
- The Little Gym hosts a parents night out each month. You do not have to take classes to participate.
Now, where do you go? KidsPark is located in Arlington Highlands, and there are many restaurants to choose. You can have dinner and a movie at Studio Movie Grill. What about bowling? Splitsville is located across the street from KidsPark - just walking distance from your children (you can stand in the parking lot and look at them through the window if it's your first time dropping them off... just a thought... if you can't think of anything else to do with all that time.) Are video games more of your idea of fun? Perhaps you would like to have dinner at Dave & Buster's, and hang out in the game room afterward.

Many of you have asked about babysitting classes. There are upcoming classes through the YMCA during July and August. Take a look at the events calendar for more information. After you or your teen complete your class, consider posting a free ad in the classifieds with your availability. Business owners can click here for more information on getting listed on the site.
