picnic in the park--the plans

This is the first week for our weekly summer themes. The weather is supposed to be nice but not sweltering so I think it will be a perfect week to go park-hopping. We have four different parks in the area that we'll be visiting. Maybe more if we feel like it. Here are a few things I have planned:

-family night at Thanksgiving Point Gardens
-play in the creek
-take a picnic
-blow bubbles and make bubble snakes:

1. Cut the bottom off of a plastic water bottle
   
2. Attach a washcloth with a rubber band
   
3. Wet the washcloth
4. Dip it in bubble solution
   
5. Blow into the bottle

-take books and read while laying on a blanket

I think we will do most of this in the late afternoon/early evening when it isn't so hot. Emma also needs to get in plenty of friend time or she might completely revolt. What are you planning for the week?
