Weekend Event Round-Up: Sept 14-16


Anyone else already tired of running ragged? And it's only the second week of school! Naw, it's not that bad, just lots of things start in September for our family. Both kids play fall soccer, and both are in scouts. Go figure I'm a scout leader for both and coach soccer for the youngest. I suppose no one wants to hear me blabber about my inability to say no to commitments, though, so time to talk free events and activities for you and your family this weekend.

As always there are free dinosaur tours happen at the UM Natural History Museum at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, there are still discount Michigan Renaissance festival tickets available, and a local R/C Airplane club will be buzzing around town throughout the weekend as well!  Just a few cool ideas for your family, right? What events are on your weekend planner?

Check out some cool remote-control airplanes with the kids this weekend!
