Local Things for Kids to Do

During the summer I created a calendar for Smiley as a page in my website, to organize all the fun things for kids to do locally in town during the summer.  His friends' parents could look at it and coordinate with us whenever an activity interested them.

I did not share the calendar page publicly because, even though it being overbooked with too many possible activities to actually attend, it would somewhat have served as a guide for when to burglarize our home while we were away somewhere. 

Where did I find so many things for kids to do?  Here is my list of online reources.
