Cool Stuff for Families in June!

A quick roundup of some cool stuff happening in June that might be of interest to Royal Oak moms and dads!

  • Sign up for summer reading at the Royal Oak Public Library! They have a ton of cool free events this month and over the summer -- evening storytimes, creative movement classes, science stuff -- and the program is open to even the newest baby Oaks!
  • Follow local fave Jim's Frostie Treats on Facebook (no affiliation with them, promise -- just love their ice cream!) Not only do they post regular deals, but they often do outdoor movies in the grassy lot next to their shop. 
  • If you're up for a journey out of town, there are some great kids activities and free concerts at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. If you're a smartphone geek like me, you'll love their mobile app, too, which lets you "favorite" events, buy tix, and get reminders about the events you want to go to.
  • A number of area churches are conducting their Vacation Bible Schools this month. A pretty comprehensive list is here.
  • Get your family's fill of street food at the Food Truck Rally at the Farmers' Market on Weds, June 12! 
  • Also at the Market is Detroit Public Television's "Kids Club Live!" June 25 and 26. Free for kiddos under 12 months, $10 a piece for everyone else. 
  • PlayAway offers fun summer stuff for littles, including Art in the Park on June 19 for ages 2-4. Learn more here!
Of course, there's tons of other stuff, too -- trips to the Detroit Zoo, picnicking in your favorite Royal Oak park, craft-making at home, and more. I've been collecting fun DIY stuff for summer on Pinterest and am looking forward to doing some homemade sidewalk chalk soon!
