What to wear:

-My best advice is wear what you wear in everyday life. If you are a jeans and tee shirt family wear that. If you like to get dressed up, that's great too.

-Try to wear comfortable shoes because we go to places with gravel path and grassy areas. Or bring two pairs ;-)

-You don't have to be "matchy,matchy different colors that go together work great.

-Just no big logo on shirts.

-Have FUN!

I know getting kids to smile or even cooperating can be challenging some times. But in my experience, yelling or demanding a smile Never works. Leave it up to me to get the smiles. We will play games, sing songs and act silly. And that's OK. It gets the best genuine smiles.
