Kitchener Waterloo Family Activities
Thanks to a couple of industrious ladies, Lisa and Diane, otherwise known around the Waterloo region as those2girls, families here don’t have to worry about what to do with their kids anymore. Those2girls manage a facebook group that sends updates to their members, letting them know what is going on the Kitchener-Waterloo region.
The following activities were sent out recently and I thought some of my readers might be interested as well. To find out more about Diane and Lisa, visit their web page at Stuff To Do With Your Kids In KW.
