Head over to the Library in New Smyrna Beach tomorrow at 3pm....children ages 9 - 15 are invited to play Wii sports, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution and Drop in Jamz. For more information, please call (386) 424-2910, ext. 111. They will do it again next week on December 30th. The event is free.
The week before Christmas and two days into vacation the "I'm Bored", has started....there is not much to do this week to amuse the kids but here are a few ideas:
Beacon Theatre - Fandango has daily showtimes, remember you can hit the box office prior to the show and purchase tickets, so no waiting before showtime.
Central Florida Zoo in Sanford is reasonably priced and is just a short distance away. This is a good way to kill a few hours. They are open from 9am-5pm everyday except Christmas.
This is a great week to take advantage of the free 7-day guest pass at the SE Volusia YMCA.
There is also this great place that we go to every Sunday, the Volusia County Public Library. Free movies, books and all kinds of activities for kids. You can find the schedule for your branch on the website link above.
Enjoy the school break and stay sane!
