Family Day at Harlinsdale Farm

This past Saturday we were out spreading the word about The Academy at Halinsdale Farm's Family Day.  Thousands of families attended for free games and crafts.  Quintavious Johnson, finalist on America's Got Talent, was there and performed.  Then the Mayor came out to pronounce it Quintavious Johnson Day!  It was so much fun. 

Ms. Robin and her grandkids stopped by for some fun!

The kids loved our lollipop tree.







It was a beautiful day.


Academy balloons were everywhere!

Parents entered to win a giant art basket we were raffling off.

Mirror, Mirror

Our babies love time with the mirror.  They each react differently and it's always fun to watch them try and figure out who is that other baby they see.

Ethan is trying to figure it all out.

2nd Annual Health Fair

Yesterday was our 2nd annual Health Fair and we definitely topped the previous year!  Over 15 local businesses were up and down our hallways providing free resources to our families.  This was all to kick off our Health and Safety month!  Thank you to all the businesses who participated.
