Waking from hibernation in the early spring, the perky Frog and the worrywart Toad celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. These two best-friends plant gardens, swim underwater, rake leaves, go sledding, bake cookies, and learn to appreciate each other’s distinct qualities. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, all charm, A Year With Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that weathers all seasons. A delightful story based on the picture books by Arnold Lobel, this musical adaptation is a treat for all ages; children and the child within.
Recommended for adults, teens, ‘tweens, youth and children 4+
Pick #3: Franklin Park Zoo
I’m not always a fan of zoos, but sometimes a day at the zoo can be fairly educational as well as fun. The Franklin Park Zoo does a pretty good job and this in between weather is nice for spending the day without being too hot…or too cold.
If you have Friday off, they are doing some fun Earth Day activities too.
Friday, April 22, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
