Celebrate 10 Years of Baby Loves Disco with a New Lineup of Dance Parties (Giveaway, too!)

bld

Baby Loves Disco turns 10 this year, and they’re celebrating with more family dance parties lined up for 2014! Families with kids ages 6 months to 7 years are invited to get out those snazzy outfits, shake those booties, grab a tattoo, do a craft, dance, dance, dance, and more. Real music with a real DJ and MC ensure fun for all ages. (And a cash bar for adults helps, too!)

First up is their annual Valentine’s Day Ball, featuring chocolate treats, make-your-own valentines cards, mommy-daddy slow dances, arts & crafts, dance lessons, contests, unlimited juice boxes, snacks, cash bar for non-driving parents, and surprises galore. It’s all happening on February 9, 11am – 1:30pm.

On March 16, you can break out the bell bottoms and funky afros to celebrate the Groovy 70’s. And the fun will continue on April 27 (theme still TBD) and monthly beyond that!

All of these events will take place at the Rock & Roll Hotel, their new home in the Atlas District on H Street NE.

Tickets are $18/walking human or $60/Four Pack and available for purchase online.

Giveaway: Want a chance to win a Four-Pack of tickets to Baby Loves Disco? Simply leave a comment telling me your favorite snow day activity. To be eligible to win, you must “like” KidFriendly DC on Facebook. The giveaway will run through the weekend, and a winner will be drawn at random and notified early next week. Good Luck!

Where to Play on the Weekdays: August 15-19

Scoping the wetlands for wildlife at Huntely Meadows Park

 

For some of us, this is the last week of summer break before school starts up again. Where did the time go? It’s been a great summer for us, pieced together by camps, our own fun outings, vacation, and a few neat ventures, which I plan to share soon.  In the meantime, enjoy these final days of summer with the kids.

Here are ideas for where to do that this week, August 15-19:

Monday – Kiddie rides, carnival games, pig races, farm animals, fried dough…  If you didn’t make it to one of the county fairs this weekend, you can still get in on the fun at the Montgomery County Fair, which runs through Saturday. More info is available here, and you can also read a KFDC review of last year’s fair.

Tuesday – It’s Art à la Cart at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Kids ages 7 – 12 are encouraged to exercise their creativity with brushes and palettes, bison horns, bottle caps, quilt squares, and more tools available in interactive carts among the galleries from 1-4pm.  Admission is free.

Wednesday – Visit the animals at the National Zoo and be sure to check the daily calendar to see when you can catch feedings, elephant training demos, kids’ farm talks, and more.  Later on, take the little ones to a special Baby Loves Disco happy hour at the Rock & Roll Hotel.  The dancing fun starts at 5pm; admission is $20/person or $60/four people.

Thursday – Go for a summer wagon ride at Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria. Naturalists lead passengers on 90-minute excursions at 9:30am and 5pm–register to ride online ($6/county residents, $8/non-resident).  If those times don’t work, explore the woods and wetlands on your own (for free).  Turtle, bird, frog, and butterfly sightings are practically guaranteed.

Friday – It’s a Family Fair in Georgetown at Tudor Place and Dumbarton House, where guests can enjoy the end of summer with crafts, games, and sweet treats.  Register in advance online; admission is $8/member children, $10/non-member children, $5/accompanying adult.
