Hey there Lake Norman Macaroni Kid Families!

Did you hear the amazing news???  FALL is FINALLY on it's way!  Yes, I was watching the news last night and Brad Panovich said that cooler temps are on the way!!  And if Brad says it, then it's gotta be true...right?!

With fall comes all sorts of fun like apple picking, visiting the pumpkin patch, hayrides, getting lost in a corn maze, festivals, and more.  I'm compiling a list this week of all the Fall Fun happening around Lake Norman... so keep an eye out for it on the website!

Did you see this??

Last week I shared some awesome things happening and I wanted to make sure you saw them so you don't miss out!

Did you know that there are free dance classes every single week for girls ages preschool through high school?!  I had no idea this even existed but I'm so happy I found out about it.  Little Miss is all signed up for this year and she's having a blast going to dance class every week!  In His Steps is a non-profit dance ministry that focuses on body positivity and having fun... click here to read more about it.

The National Parks Service is offering free admission to 4th graders and their families. Fourth graders and their families are invited to learn about our heritage, history, and connect with nature while exploring hundreds of national parks, recreation areas, forests, monuments, and wildlife refuges from the St. Louis Arch to the Florida Keys through a free program known as Every Kid Outdoors.  Read more about it here.

Macaroni Kid's Week of Kindness is coming up next week.  We're all about spreading the joy and making Lake Norman an even friendlier place to live and visit.  Help us spread some joy around town next week with these free Act of Kindness Printables! Click here to get them free today!

Got a preteen or teenager? In this day and age it's so important to train our kids to be safe and aware of their surroundings.  My friend Karen from Carolina Self Protection and RadKids Lake Norman, is hosting a Teen Personal Safety Class which teaches kids the skills to staying safe in the face of danger.  Karen does an amazing job of really connecting with kids and making an impact that they will remember.  Check out the event happening this Saturday and give yourself piece of mind that your teen will be ready for any situation that comes their way. Read more about the Teen Personal Safety Class here.

Are you a part of MOPS or a Moms Group?

Lake Norman Macaroni Kid is a free resource for moms in the Lake Norman area.  Because of this, we have so many new to the area moms checking out our site on a daily basis.  If you're part of a moms group that's open to having new members we would love to feature your group on Lake Norman Macaroni Kid!  Please send me an email at MelissaLlado@macaronikid.com and tell me a quick little blurb about your group, how to join, and where to find you.  I'll be putting together a MOPS/Moms Group Guide this week... so please share our site with any moms you know.

That's pretty much all I have for today... it's gonna be a busy week and I hope to see you out and about around Lake Norman!!
