Brief Break

We will take a few weeks break before starting back 25 September. I'd encourage you to come to Manna church 5117 Cliffdale Fayetteville, NC Sunday 13 Sep between 6:30 and 8:30 pm for My Manna connection night. Fun Fridays will have a display set up there along with lots of other cell groups for the fall. Finger foods, drinks, and childcare will be provided. If you want to be on our Fun Fridays email list for the fall, send me an email at jaklew@aol.com.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend. see you 25 Sept at Honeycutt Park.

21 Aug- Splash Pad

Come on out this Friday at 10 am for our last trip to the Splash Pad. I'm planning on bringing lunch for me and my boys.

In case of rain, we'll meet at Fascinate-U.

Splash Pad
500 Fisher Street at Christina Smith Park
910-433-1572

Fight the heat with a splash of water! Come enjoy the pad as water sprinkles from a rainbow of colored arches. Onlookers can relax under the shaded tables near the splash pad. Open to the public and fun for all ages. The Pad closes on September 30.

Monday-Friday, 3 pm-6 pm (it opens at 10 now that school is out)

Saturday -10 am -6 pm

Sunday - 1 pm -6pm; free admission

that is off 301 across from the pwc. It is a park that has a playground, rest rooms, picnic area and a nice set of sprinklers. It is free to go and the sprinklers are nice if you have little ones but don't really want to go to a pool. There are an assortment of sprinklers they can run thru, under and over. The pad where the water is has a fence around it with just one way in or out (right next to the rest rooms). The last time I was there you had to bring your own chairs or blankets to sit on the grass around the sprinklers but to me that isn't a huge deal.

From Fayetteville Observer:

The small, water-toy filled Splash Pad, located at Christina Smith Park, sits just outside downtown Fayetteville. Despite its small size, the Pad packs a punch with its water fountains, sprayers and cannons, all for free.

The details: 500 Fisher St. Call the J.S. Spivey Recreation Center at 433-1572. Admission: Free
Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday, 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday
Food: There is no snack bar, but visitors are allowed to bring food, which cannot be eaten inside the Pad.
Picnic area: Benches sit under a canopy next to the Splash Pad. Visitors can take their food there. The area can be rented out, though, so if it’s too crowded, find a shady spot just outside the Pad to enjoy your snacks.
Lifeguards: There are no lifeguards on duty, so no children under 10 years old are allowed

Change for 14 August

Looks like we're going to get some more rain tomorrow so we're going to change plans and head to Monkey Joe's. I signed up our group so we'll get the group rate. (it's $7 a kid instead of $8- just tell them you're with Fun Fridays when you get there. If you're planning on coming tomorrow, send me an email jaklew@aol.com, groups of 31 or more are $6 a piece and I could change our group size to that.

we've never been but I hear it's a blast for the kids and relaxing for moms. Bring socks for your kids. They have a concession stand there. here's the link
