Holla!!

Hey all! I am gearing up for the long weekend with the kiddos... I know that we have some random plans here and there, the culmination of which will be a picnic on Monday at a local park. Anyone else have any plans that they'd like to share?
I've honestly been looking to start some family traditions for some of the less celebrated holidays--do you have any ideas or things that your family does to celebrate any of the upcoming "summer" holidays that you care to let me (few but) faithful readers in on?
And what about those of you in the Capital Region that stop on by every now and again? Anything happening locally that you want to clue me in on? Parades? Anybody know of any fireworks or festivities that the kids would enjoy?? Come on now, DISH!
