Kid Dates

This page is to record our dates with our children to help give you a resource of ideas. You might find an idea you like, or something listed might give you an idea for your own children. For reasons why I advocated dates, see The Why and How of Parent/Child Dates, 10 Parent/Child Date Ideas, One-On-One Outings, and How Much Time Should You Spend With Your Child Daily. You can find details on each date in these posts.
