Roy...coming up in a future installment...be on the lookout.

Ginny...have to get a plan or it will be hectic and they will get bored.

Mimi...better yet, send them to my blog (www.warner-robins-realtor.com) and they can get the full dose of Warner Robins and Houston County events, happenings, and real estate information. ;-)

Bill...it's good to keep them moving so why not learn about their community while having fun at the same time.

Hello Anita, we have always thought with Active Rain members stretching across North America, post like this one should have it's own place so members could go and learn about the area before they visit.

Good Morning Anita..Your list offers a lot of fun activities for the kids in your area. It's better to point them in the right directions, than let them choose the wrong things to do. It will keep them out of trouble.
