Three Things on my Calendar for July

(pictured above, Argos Farm's website)

At the writing of this blog, it is ALREADY the middle of June. Summer can whiz on by really quickly if you let it! I try to plan things in advance when I can. It's always better for my budget and schedule when I can do things that way. Looking at July, I have 3 things on my list that I am picking days for. Here they are!

1) Argos Farms Blueberry Festival. We are BIG blueberry fans over here. Mommy, Daddy, little guy-- we all LOVE them. Argos Farms in Forked River, NJ is holding a BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL. At Argos I can get a blueberry frappe, my son can have a pony ride, we can all enjoy live music and visit some farm animals. Yea, sounds pretty gosh darn awesome to me! The Festival starts June 23rd and runs until July 9th on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. Can't wait to check it out! https://www.argosfarm.com/

2) Ocean County Fair. I have NEVER EVER been to the Ocean County Fair. In fact, I had no idea Ocean County HAD a fair. Neither did my Dad who's lived in Ocean County for probably about 42 years. Apparently there are magic shows, animals, rides, food, music, a wild west show AND country line dancing. Sounds very different from anything I have ever been to and I bet it will be a blast. So here it is-- on the list for July. https://www.oceancountyfair.net/

3) Great Wolf Lodge. With a tip from my cousin with littles, we are going to do a mid-week summer overnight at Great Wolf Lodge. Weekend prices, especially during the winter months are HIGH-- BUT! If you look at a weekday in the summer, the lodge has a LOT of competition for family activities so you will find really great rates in the middle of the week. We've never been here either and I think that my little guy will like it best if there aren't huge crowds. I bet it'll be worth two days off of work for this little mini-trip. https://www.greatwolf.com/
