Bounce Your Way Into Fun with The Weekender
Glen Frey famously said the Heat Is On, and he would be right for this weekend; hmmm, that may have been a different kind of heat. Anyway, the weather should provide opportunities for both outdoor and indoor fun, barring any smoky days.
It could be a fun day for a picnic of the normal kind or an unusual kind (see below), but you may want to make it a picnic breakfast to avoid the hotness. Show me potato salad!
Don't forget about Badges and Bobbers at Lake George on Saturday for the kids.
