Last weekend before school & classes start – time for family-friendly enrichment.

• First, stop by Books & Books to load up on new titles for the fall. Check out our sister site Little One Lit for recommendations and take 20% off all kids and young adult books. Sale runs through Sunday.
• Next, stop by South Miami’s Green Monkey for 45 minutes of kid yoga. Perfect for kids 5 and up, the moderately-paced class introduces basic elements and gets the blood flowing. Saturday 12:30, $5.
• Then head to the Miami Children’s Museum for a stint in the kitchen courtesy of the kids cooking club. Kids of all ages will enjoy the cooking demo (and samples) while parents bring home the healthy recipes. Saturday 2-3pm, free with entrance fee.
• Come Sunday, browse the Lincoln Road farmer’s market for fresh fruits and veggies and quality people watching. Stop by Ice Box for brunch (we recommend the home baked granola and the stuffed French toast), grab a few cookies for the road and head south to Fairchild for free entrance to the garden’s 83 acres of tropical plants, sculptures, open spaces and more. Secure a spot on the lawn and have an impromptu cookie picnic (is there a better kind?). 

Now you’re ready to start the week… Want more? Check our calendar.
