Summer is in full swing in KC! Longtime readers of KC Parent know this is my favorite time of the year. I love the heat, the unstructured days, dinners out on the patio, the later sunsets—it’s all my cup of tea. If you feel like you’ve exhausted most of your summer plans and are looking for some fresh ideas, we’ve got you covered! Our Summer Fun Guide will help you make the most of the season. Check out great ways to explore KC with the family. On days that are scorchers, we’ll help keep you cool with water play ideas. And we’ve got some great crafts, recipes and so much more.
This issue contains our Birthday Party guide, which you can find in print four times a year and online at KCParent.com year-round! Low-key parties are my thing, and Stephanie Loux has you covered with tons of ideas. In addition, find great spots all over KC to host your child’s next party! Bonus! Some of those listed come to your home!
Speaking of birthdays, we have a big one in the Sarver home this month! My older is celebrating her golden birthday: She turns 19 on the 19th. I imagine this one won’t be low-key, but that’s okay. After the topsy-turviness she’s experienced these past few months, I think a high-key (is that the opposite of low-key?) birthday celebration may be in order. Happiest of birthdays to my Tori! I am blessed to be your mom, and you make me proud every day!
Happy summer, Kansas City!
