Neighborhood Playgroup Summer Park Hop

School is almost out and summer is right around the corner!  It’s the perfect time to make new friends, get out of the house, and spend some time outside! We would love for you to join us and our neighborhood play groups for our first summer park hop series! Park Hops are free play dates for mamas and kids of all ages! We will be meeting throughout the June and July months at some of the best parks and splash pads in OKC and the surrounding areas!  The park hops will each feature fun activities, and are sure to be lots of fun for you and your family!  

You will be able to find information on each event on our neighborhood playgroup Facebook pages!  All park hop events will be FREE, but please be sure to RSVP on the event page so we can prepare to make each event fun for everyone in attendance. To choose our park hop locations, we asked moms all around the metro for recommendations of their FAVORITE local parks.  You’re welcome to come to any and all of our park hop meet ups. We hope you have a chance to meet some new mama friends as well as discover some new favorite outdoor play places around OKC!

I fell in love with my husband, Dustin, when I was a wide eyed 15 year old. I have been a mostly loving wife since June 5, 2010, and a mom since February 16, 2012. I live right by Tinker AFB, and I have three little ones- Lyla, 6, Karrick, 2, and our bonus baby Juliet, almost 1 year old! Along with serving as Community Engagement Manager for OKCMB, I work part time from the closet under our stairs teaching English to Chinese students early in the morning! The most relaxing part of my day is when I drink my whole cup of coffee -HOT- while it’s still dark, and the rest of my house is still and quiet. During the day, the kids and I are out and about, exploring the city and avoiding the laundry. I do my very best to run a happy and healthy household for my husband and the little people God has entrusted to me.
