Winter Jam this Saturday, January 26, 2013 11 - 3 PM

YAM (Yet Another MaveSave)

This New York Parks event is one that I've been looking forward to attending for years!  Well, this is the year that I'm finally taking our kids!! 

You may feel like you've had enough of the cold weather after this frigid week . . . I can certainly appreciate that sentiment.  But, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!  One way to deal with the cold winter weather is to enjoy winter sports like this one and the free ice skating in Bryant Park that I mention in that post.
