 St. Patrick's Day is SOO FUN! Except when it's on a Tuesday... then it blows. So take advantage of the pre-party weekend and do some family adventuring. Here are my top 5 picks for family fun with kids this weekend:  St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Agoura Hills Are ya ready for a little luck of the Irish? Well, you can give it your best shot during the St. Patty’s Day celebration at the Agoura Hills Calabasas Community Center. It’s on Saturday, March 14th from 11 am to 3pm at the AHCCC and the party is going to be incredible: face Painting, rock climbing, inflatable rides, photo shoots, and use of the center all day. You don’t even need to find a pot of gold to pay for it, because it’s free! Visit their website for details. It’s going to be a lucky day, I can feel it. Some even say lucky and charmed… Free Opera Northridge Want your kids exposed to music a little bit more complicated than “Shake it Off”? You have a fun and free opportunity with the LA Opera this weekend, who will present two free "Great Opera Choruses" concerts at 2pm and 3:30pm on March 14th. These family friendly concerts are being held at the Valley Performing Arts Center in Northridge and you can get details at 818.677.3000 or LAOpera.org. You can even sing along to pieces from The Marriage of Figaro and Carmen. Don’t know the words? Just sing “peas and carrots” and you’ll be fine.  Civil War Living History Day San Marino The Huntington Gardens is a great place to visit, but when you get some “re-enactors” involved, you can’t KEEP me away! Saturday March 14th from 11am-4pm you and the kids can step back in time to the Civil War era as the New Buffalo Soldiers bring history alive with a realistic encampment on the Huntington grounds and demonstrations of camp life. There’s also a band, a film screeningn, and children’s crafts. The whole event is covered by your general admission so make sure you check their website for info. So much better than being at the Civil War when it actually happened. Walt Disney’s Barn Public Day Griffith Park Want Disney fun without the Disneyland part? What if it involved trains, too? Perfection, right? Every third Sunday Walt Disney’s Carolwood Barn at the LA Live Steamers area of Griffith Park is open and free. That means this Sunday, March 15th, from 11am to 3pm you can visit this cool feature and explore all the trains your kids can handle. Visit their website for details. Be warned, you may tire out before your kids do. (Wait, isn't that every day?)  Airport Artwalk Santa Monica
Using an airport for boarding airplanes is so boring. Spice up your airport experience by heading to the Airport Artwalk! It’s Saturday, March 14th, from noon to 5 pm at the Santa Monica Airport, and you can explore open studios, watch art and ceramic demonstrations, participate in art and theater workshops, and enjoy live music and food trucks in the airport’s converted airplane hangars. It’s free, parking is free, and there is a bike valet! It's the cheapest experience at an airport you will have all year!

This Saturday February 7th, and the First Saturday of every Month, your child can read to therapy dogs through the Paws For Healing program between 11:30 and 1:30pm. Sign ups for a 15 minute session begin at the Calabasas Library at 11 am, and you can call 818.225.7617 extension 2 for info. It’s silly, of course, do think that dogs could read to YOU. They can, however, sing to you. And possibly even read your thoughts…  I Heart Old Navy Valentine’s Day Festivities Santa Monica
Do you “heart” Old Navy? If anything, for their ability to make you feel a size smaller with that spectacular vanity sizing?

Just when you eased back into a routine involving the kids happily back at school…THEY GET ANOTHER DAY OFF! If you need a little help finding fun activities for you and your kids over the long weekend, I'm here to help. Here are my top 5 picks for Family Activities in LA this weekend:  MLK Peace and Unity Parade Celebration Long Beach There is a pretty good reason that your kids are off of school this week, it’s to celebrate the life and message of Martin Luther King Jr. So, why not celebrate? If you are in the Long Beach area, check out the MLK parade and festival on Monday, January 19th. The parade that begins at 10:30 on Martin Luther King Jr. Ave and Anaheim St, then continues north to MLK Jr. park where the free festival runs from 12:30-5 pm. You can get the details here. It's a fun way to teach your kids about one of our greatest teachers.  Beach Clean Up Malibu We did see a little bit of rain recently, and while that is good news for our vegetation, it’s not so great for our beaches. Rain carries tons of pollution down to our beaches by our storm drain system and it’s up to us, with a little help from Heal the Bay, to clean it up. Take the family and join Heal the Bay’s “Nothin but Sand” beach cleanup event this Saturday, January 17th, from 10-11:30 am at the Will Rogers State Beach at the end of Temescal Canyon Rd. Make sure to register and get all the info at www.healthebay.org. The cleanup is rain or shine and will be cancelled only if there is a risk of lightning. And just a friendly tip, you should never go in the water when there is lightning. Or sharks. Or the Zombie Apocalypse.  Star Party Oak Park The weather has been cool enough in the evenings to dust off those…what are they called again? Right, jackets. But the cool crisp weather also lends itself to some amazing stargazing. This Saturday, January 17, you can join up with the Oak Canyon Astronomy Group’s Star Party at Oak Canyon Park. Dress warmly and visit the park from 7-10 pm to get a great view with some knowledgeable people. It’s free, and you can get more info here. You bought that jacket thingy, might as well get some use out of it.  Lakeshore Learning Free Science Fair All Locations Lakeshore Learning Store is always a fun place to visit with kids, and even kill and hour or two out of the rain or sun (depending on which side of the city you are on). But this Saturday, there’s ANOTHER great way to kill time with your kids and even have some – gasp – learning thrown in there too! This Saturday, January 17th, from 11-3 all Lakeshore stores are holding a free STEM Science Fair. There are activities, experiments, and even a catapult-making craft. Visit www.lakeshorelearning.com to find the closest store to you. A suggestion? Don’t tell your kids about the learning part. Just sneak it in there.  Family Nature Walk Topanga
If spending time outdoors is more your game, but you get overwhelmed by your kids dawdling or wandering, you may want to give this simple guided tour a try. The Family Nature Walk is at Topanga State Park, Trippet Rance at Entrada Rd, from 10-12 on Sunday, January 18th. It’s made for kids and will have tons of cool insight into this gorgeous state park.

The MiP has several different modes that include games and tricks, plus a balancing tray that is great for delivering soda cans to your older brother. You can use hand gestures or the free app on your phone to control it's movements, so it's pretty user-friendly. It's super easy to use and set up, but has enough play options to keep my kids entertained for several hours. It also has funny little noises it makes while it plays, which are amazingly cute and NOT annoying compared to most electronic toy sounds. At around $100, it's not a cheap gift. But if you want to be a hit over the holidays, plus give your kids something to do while you listen to Great Aunt Sheila's stories (again) at the big family party, it's totally worth it. You can find MiP at most major retailers or by clicking on this link.  I have two boys that fill my house with love, fun, and noise at a decibel that defies explanation. But the dynamic of having two rowdy kids around is totally different than spending face time with them individually.
That’s why I decided to take my oldest son on a Mommy/Son Date Night, and it was the best decision I have made in a long time. As a certified Musical Theatre Nerd (note the proper use of the re in “theatre”-see what I mean?), I thought that taking my son to see “Wicked” at the Hollywood Pantages would be a great idea. So off we went, on a school night and against all practicality, to see the popular musical together. First incredible thing that happened: My son dressed up on his own. In a sport coat and slacks. When an 8-year-old boy ditches the t-shirt and basketball shorts, he is INVESTED. Second thing: He held my hand. Willingly. The whole night. Third thing: We talked. Actually talked! On the way down, waiting in our seats, during intermission. He was fascinated by the grandeur of the set and the lights, the cool ceiling, and, befitting his electronic generation, by the TV monitor for the cast that hung on the balcony showing the conductor during the performance. I have been to the Pantages many times, but never noticed the things that he did. I have also seen Wicked a few times before, but not through the eyes of a child (“She’s flying Mom! Glinda is so funny! I didn’t like the long talking/singing part at the end. Why didn’t Glinda just take the book and GO already!) And the fourth and final thing that blew my mind: As the lights came up after the curtain call, my son looked me in the eye and said earnestly and unprovoked, “Thanks for taking me Mom”. I cried all the way up the aisle. Take your child to Wicked, to another cool event, or just out to dinner. But spend time with them alone, and give yourselves the opportunity to make a really special memory. I’m glad I did. Wicked is running at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood through March 15th and you can get tickets here. Visit me @nickerberger on Twitter for links to my blogs and family activities pieces.
 The Nutcracker Calabasas Seeing the world’s most likable ballet was a holiday tradition for many of us, so make sure you check out the Degas Dance Studios this Saturday, December 13th, as they perform “The Nutcracker” and start the tradition with your own family. This classic holiday ballet is performing at 2 and 6 pm at the Calabasas High School Performing Arts and Education Center. This production is unique because it combines students and professional dancers, which means it’s going to be a magnificent night. Visit www.degasdancestudio.com for tickets and details. And this one is indoors, so no worries about rain melting any cute little snowflake ballerinas.  Winter Family Festival Studio City It may be raining, but that still doesn’t mean it’s going to snow in the Valley. So head over to the Studio City Recreation Center on Sunday the 14th from 1-4pm for a free event featuring 70 tons of snow! That means slides and snowman making go side by side with all sorts of regular fest type activities like face painting and crafts. It’s free, but you can up your warm fuzzy level by bringing canned or packaged food, unwrapped toys, or used children’s books and clothing as part of the Festival of Giving. This is a rain or shine event, but the forecast says the only winter weather you will have is the man-made kind. Do YOU wanna build a snowman? (Sorry, after the winter season I promise to not make any more Frozen references. I’ll totally Let it Go)  Camarillo Christmas Parade Camarillo Who doesn’t love a great parade? The Camarillo Christmas Parade is one of the best in So Cal and is taking place on Saturday, December 13th. Show up at 10 am for this long-standing local tradition that begins at Temple Ave and Las Posas Road and makes the journey to the Camarillo Community Center. At the end of the parade enjoy festivities at the Santa’s Village Holiday Carnival. If you are one of those people who DOESN'T love a parade? Well, then you might need to head back to that mountain over Whooville with your small, small heart.  LA Zoo Lights Griffith Park Sure, you can drive your kids around the neighborhoods, getting caught in hours of traffic waiting to see a few “Griswold-worthy” holiday light displays, or you can make the trip to the LA Zoo to see their new light display, LA ZOO LIGHTS. This walk through experience features spectacular sets and lighting set in the cool zoo atmosphere. Nightly timed tickets are available at www.lazoolights.org and the evening event runs through January 4th with the only dark days being December 24th and 25th. It would even make the Griswold's proud.  Breakfast with Santa Calabasas
Kids spend a fair amount of time trying to “Catch Santa” on Christmas eve, what if you could just…ya know…have brunch with him instead? Lucky for you the Calabasas Tennis and Swim Center is providing you with exactly that. It’s on Saturday, December 13th from 9-10:30 at the CTSC and you won’t want to miss the great food, crafts, pictures, music, and of course – Santa and his Calabasas Elves! Call 818 222-2782 for info on how to register. Santa already thinks you are nice, for sure. But think of how much more receptive he will be to your Christmas list if discussed over Eggs Benedict and a latte?

Photo Credit: Trey Ratcliff “It’s raining…it’s pouring…” actually “drizzling”… but that doesn’t mean you need to hibernate this weekend. In fact, it's a great weekend to take a little adventure! Here are my top 5 picks for Family Fun in Los Angeles this Weekend: Fillmore & Western Railway Christmas Tree Holiday Train Fillmore Going to the lot and picking out a tree is so boring, especially when you can make it an event to remember at the Fillmore & Western Railway Christmas Tree Holiday Train! Starting this Sunday, November 29th and running Saturdays and Sundays through December 21st you can bring the entire family to ride the old-fashion rails to pick out the perfect Christmas Tree. Tickets and info are available here. It’s a great way to spend time with your family, plus “you know who” has been known to show up from time to time. NO-not Justin Bieber-the other “you know who”. Bieber is SO 2013…  Sand Snowman Contest Hermosa Beach We So Cal types don’t get many chances to work on our Snowman making skills, but man are we good at beach related activities! You can combine the two this Saturday, December 6th, at the Sand Snowman Contest in Hermosa Beach. Families can head to the beach just north of the pier to make their snowmen...sandmen. Event check-in begins at 8:45am and sculpting begins at 9:00am. For more information, contact the Community Resources Department at 310.318.0280.

The 15th Annual Holiday Celebration is taking place this weekend December 6th and 7th at The Banning Museum and The Drum Barracks Museum. Horse-drawn carriage rides, decorations, and all sorts of old-fashioned fun is being offered at this free event taking place from 11 am to 4pm both days. You don’t even need to get involved in “re-enacting” to appreciate!  LA Parent Special Needs Resource Fair Los Angeles The Zimmer Children’s Museum is a great place for kids any time, but this Sunday, December 7th, you can double that fun by participating in the L.A. Parent Magazine’s Special Needs Resource Fair. It’s from 12:30-5 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Zimmer Children’s Museum in Los Angeles.

Need motivation to get your kid’s Christmas list all the way to the North Pole by snail mail? Well, Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena is providing the stationary and special mailbox to get your child’s letter there ASAP. No excuses! Santa is still way more responsive to X-mas lists sent by mail than text. But nice try on selling the electronic options, Mommy.
