Kickoff! Sharing Sundays with Football and Kids

As you may have read before, is kind of a big deal in our house.

And though we hope our daughter will embrace the love, right now, I don’t expect a toddler to hang in the living room and watch us go crazy over our favorite teams. She does like to cheer when we cheer and says “Touchdown”, so she’s moving in that direction, but this fall, I plan to make sure there are other things, in addition to football, filling her Sunday afternoons.

I’m talking play dates, pumpkin patch visits and even a music class or two.

Here is a list of a few great things that might give a Sunday on the couch in front of the TV a run for its money.

Butler’s Orchard: This local favorite will have its 31st Annual Pumpkin Festival every Saturday and Sunday in October and Columbus Day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Imagination Stage: With a variety of classes and performances, it’s a great place to head when the weather turns gray and the kids need some creative inspiration.

Brentwood Arts Exchange: Arts classes for the whole family to enjoy! Check out the Prince Georges County Department of Parks and Recreation for more information.

Gymboree: A fun, child friendly place to jump around and play, Gymboree offers many fun classes for kids of all ages.

Greenbelt Community Center:  Offers classes in dance, sports and arts for children of all ages!

How will you spend your family free time this fall? Let us know at Patch so we can share it with the rest of the community.
