There is always chatter among moms...chatter about fun family outings, happenings around cowtown, family traditions, new recipe endeavors, parenting advice, book and movie suggestions, fantastic and must have kids stuff, great deals and offers, kid friendly restaurants and even what stores are having great sales and when...
So let's compile some of our chatter into a list to share so that many families can benefit from all the chatter!

Stuff to do this weekend

Two of our DFW area cities are hosting festivals this weekend - Grapevine and Addison.

The Main Street Outdoor Adventure kicks off in Grapevine on Friday and runs through Sunday. If you get there before 5pm on Friday, admission is free! After that, admission runs about $7 for adults, $5 for kids, and kids under age 6 are free.

On the other side of the Metroplex, Taste Addison starts at 6pm on Friday. Admission is $5 before 5pm and jumps to $15 after that ( I guess the cheaper admission applies to Saturday and Sunday only), and kids under 3 are free. You can buy $10 'anytime tickets' at area Albertson's stores.

I've been to both of these festivals, albeit before kiddos, and what I loved was how 'walkable' and open they are. Downtown Grapevine is just a fun place to go and Taste Addison offers a variety of food and music all in a cute outdoor park area. If you go, let us know how it is for the stroller-set!

One note, though, about travel to both festivals. There is major construction going on in Grapevine around the 114/121/635 interchange areas -- especially nights and weekends. Be sure to check the DFW Connector site for construction delays and lane closures so you can plan your route (or alternate routes) carefully!
