Inside Out is in theaters on June 19th and I’m already hearing that it’s one of Pixar’s best films! If you’re wanting to see it but wondering how your younger child might react, check out the B&B Wildwood’s sensory friendly showing on Saturday, June 20th at 9am! The show plays with mid-level lights and the sound turned down in the auditorium.

This is a great chance to brig your infant, toddlers or kids who might not usually like going to the movies to see Inside Out!

Fireflies: Summer Night Lights at Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center

by Leave a Comment

Just the other night, I was thinking how much I loved catching fireflies when I was younger, letting them crawl on my hands and then putting them in a jar to look at. I loved stepping out into my dark backyard and seeing the twinkling lights. I feel like I’ve never properly introduced my kids to this so when I saw that Powder Valley was hosting Fireflies: Summer Night Lights, I couldn’t have thought of a more special way to introduce them to fireflies!
