Rainy Day Activities: Wednesday, August 3

Don't let the rain stop you today. Find many great
free activities in Ann Arbor for the entire family!

Rainy days and Monday's always get me down...  OK not really. We need the rain, my garden needs the rain, and everyone needs some down-time which is often forced upon us when we have a day of light drizzle like what's going on outside my window. HOWEVER if your kids are driving you nuts, why not consider a couple of these options today?

Kids in grades K-5 can check out Animal Magic at Ann Arbor District Library (Pittsfield Branch -
2359 Oak Valley Dr., Ann Arbor) today at 1:00-2:00 p.m. or 3:00-4:00 p.m. joining Mark Rosenthal, for an award winning wildlife program! Kids will discover rare and endangered animals from almost every continent in this free library program.

Today families have two opportunities for low-cost or free movies. See the latest Narnia movie at the Rave theatres at 10:00 a.m. for free or Rio at 5:00 p.m. a the Michigan Theatre in Jackson (
124 N. Mechanic St., Jackson) for only $1!

For families who enjoy cooking together or simply just eating healthy stop by Whole Foods (3135 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor) for today's Whole Kids Club! Kids ages 3-12 can be introduced to a new tasty food while wandering the store and experiencing samples. On the way out the door, stop to pick up a special treat from the customer service desk. My daughter is excited since her punch card is getting very full - Kids get to collect a special gift after 10 visits!

If gaming is what your child would rather do, call the Milan Public Library (151 Wabash St., Milan) today to register them for Game Day. From 1:00-4:00 p.m. today, your child in kindergarten through 2nd grade can play fun Wii and board games. Call 734-439-1240 to register.
