Walk Amongst Woodcocks at Pyramid Mountain

If you or your children are bird enthusiasts, Pyramid Mountain has a program for you. Woodcock Walk is being held this weekend, but that's not all that's happening.

Once again, we bring you the Grab & Go Kids Planner. It's our weekly list of kid-friendly activities and places to try out. You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.

As always, help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips—if we missed anything, just leave us a comment letting us know!
