We’ve learned that our town is the most boring town in the world. There is nothing at all to do here for kids..or for adults either. There are lots of beautiful parks with winding walkways all over town but those are all golf courses or country clubs and they will ask you to leave if you try to walk through them. (we’ve tried). There is a place to play miniature golf which we tried on a date. We were kind of hoping to see mini Mount Rushmore’s or Windmills to get your ball around but instead we found the only obstacles to maneuver around included a pipe or two sticking out of the ground or a little pile of cigarette butts. Our favorite places to hang out have become the library because they have a little area with pillows to play on and the kids consignment store because as long as I buy loads and loads of clothes they don’t complain about Jack playing with the toys. I’m not complaining–I’m just learning that next time we move I’m going to check out the town a little first. There are two big events here though they are Rib Fest and Taste of Kokomo. They are basically the same event only with different food. They are both super expensive and they are located at the court house where you are firmly reminded not to allow your children to play on the grass. We went to the Rib Fest back in June and last weekend we went to Taste of Kokomo. Jack got a balloon, we listened to a sweet bro band warm up for an hour, we dragged Jack off the grass about 30 times and then we went and got a pizza on the way home. It’s a good thing John, Jack and Lottie are so much fun to hang out with. They make everything into a party.
I totally understand. Royce and I used to do all these cool things, but after 2 years we have run out of ideas to make watching a movie on Friday night or going shopping for furniture/baby stuff on Saturday afternoon special. Hurray for places with things to do!!!
yeah family definitely makes all the difference. I’m glad you guys were able to make it all fun with each other!!
What, you didn’t enjoy Taste of Kokomo? LOL
We went too. The band that was playing when we showed up played a pretty rare Temple of the Dog tune, so I thought we might be in for a treat…but then after that they just played 867 5309, and a bunch of Journey covers or something!
I hadn’t thought about looking for kid entertainment either when considering a move. I can’t believe how many restrictions they put on kids and grass. Whats the big deal. I’m glad you guys are able to have your own fun.
I was totally disappointed that you forgot to mention that Kokomo has such great…um…um…um…O.K. you’re right. We’ve felt your pain! And we never made it to Rib Fest or Taste of Kokomo.
