Holland's Party in the Park July 12 noon to 2pm

"Party In The Park"July 12, 2007, Noon - 2:00 p.m. Here we are last Thursday at the Party in the Park in Grand Rapis....Yes there were tons of people!

Here's Ms. Darcy holding on to the parachute along with Ms. Ginelle from Coppersville. We are forming a partnership with Kindermusik educators from the West Michigan area. Also in the photo are Ms. Brooke from Allegan (working hard in spite of being very pregnant!) and Ms. Margot, Ms. Carol, and Ms. Lyn all from the Grand Rapids area. Our patnership is called Lighthouse Partnership of Kindermusik Educators. Together we'll be at all the "Party in the Parks"! Come and see us!

Hoppin' and Happenin' at the Farmers' Market!

A fun time today at the Farmer's Market!

Lots of children and lots of songs to sing.

I saw some friends, some new friends and some I haven't seen in a long time....Thanks for coming and having fun with me!
(and kids, thank your moms and grandmas for taking you!)





We sang songs like: Have you seen the strawberry man, the strawberry man, the strawberry man....(tune of Muffing Man) Don't forget the herb lady...Have you seen the herb lady, the herb lady, the herb lady....I'm there on Saturdays at the Boeve's stand selling herbs!
We did "Let's walk to the Farmers' Market and listen to our feet. Clip clop tip tap...walking down the street!"

And: "Can you plant the cabbage seeds, just like this, just like this".
(The Boeve's are selling cabbage plants so you don't have to wait quite so long for your cabbages to grow!)
The friend next to me in this photo has my cabbage. We're singing "Sarasponda Sarasponda" while we pass the cabbage. In September the market cabbages will be ready.



"Spirit of the Sun!" and what a beautiful sunny day we had. I loved drawing puddles with the sidewalk chalk. Malia jumped in and made a big splash!!!

See you again soon....at the Farmers' Market.....


Love to you,
Yvette

Get out your calendar. This is a great list of mostly free live music opportunities in Holland for you and your children.

What do street performers"do? Just about anything but mainly the make live music!
Musical, acrobatic and otherwise interesting performers are in downtown Holland on Thursday evenings 5:30pm to 8:00pm for your enjoyment! They put out their fiddle case for tips. The children can get pretty close to the musicians and they are usually wide eyed and try to dance while strapped in the stroller! You just gotta let them out! You might find street performers at other times on 8th street or at the Farmers' Market. Who knows...you might see and hear me! I've been out already once this season busking!

July 12, 2007, Noon - 2:00 p.m.
In cooperation with WOTV - 41, Priority Health, and Hudsonville Ice Cream, the City of Holland's Recreation Division is proud to present the eighth annual "Party In The Park". Look for Kindermusik of Holland at this event!!!

I've tried to be pretty inclusive about this list. Do you know of something I've missed?

Remember, singing to your children is live music too!
