K is for...

... kin with kids. Saturday was our double birthday party for B turning 3 and E turning 6. My sister's family visited, along with both sets of grandparents. It was a merry celebration!

Places to go that start with K:
*towns/cities starting with K
*find a radio or TV station (KDSM, KCCI, etc.) to tour
*Kavanaugh Art Gallery (just remind your little ones to keep their hands in their pockets)
*Kidman Tree Farm (they have some entertaining sights for children)
*kiddie parade (search around - you're likely to find one during any town's celebration)
*KinderMusic classes
*Kirkendall Public Library
*Kohl's (maybe pick up a $5 book or toy for charity)
*Karmelkorn Shoppe (in Valley West Mall)
*KFC
*Krispie Kreme
*Kum & Go (they actually have decent deli sandwiches)

Things to do that begin with K:
*kayaking (or just watch someone else do it)
*kickball
*fly kites
*playdates with Kenny, Kristin, Katie, Kathy, etc.
*talk about kindergarten if you have a child entering school in the fall
*read books starting with K (Knufflebunny by Mo Willems is a good one)
*watch movies like Kung Fu Panda or The Karate Kid
*listen to songs or artists starting with K ("Kitty Kat, Kitty Kat," "Koala Bear Diner," "Kickboard, Baby, Yeah," by Justin Roberts, or Kutless)
*watch TV shows like "Kipper" or "Kratts' Creatures"
*wear kelly green clothing, Keds, or khakis

Let me tell you, letter K is not an easy thing to happen upon when you are searching for found photography. We had to be quite creative in our search. This is the best we came up with... I had L zoom way in on a part of a sculpture at Jester Park.

And last, but not least is my favorite K Bible verse:
"Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies." Psalms 34:13

Letter L is up next!
