This weekend marks the beginning of Strawberry Tours at Tanaka Farms.  It's funny, kids in Orange County sometimes really miss out on farming and agriculture, but at Tanakea Farms, they can get a little taste of homegrown food!  A tour includes a ride around the farm in a tractor pulled wagon, the different fruits and vegetables you get to taste on the farm, and a one pound basket of strawberries to pick and take home.  (Check the website for prices and to make reservations!)

Also, this is the last weekend for the Festival of Whales in Dana Point.  The whales have been amazing this year, and this weekend the weather should be perfect for a day with the kids on the Dana Point Wharf.  There are lots of activities for the whole family....kids of all ages will have a wonderful time with all the activities!  Enjoy!

If you're looking for something spectacular to do with your kids in March, you should consider taking them to Dana Point and going on a whale watching cruise.  The goal of each tour is to see gray whales, but they often see blue whales, fin whales and minke whales.  Tours depart 3 times daily on weekdays, and more on weekends.  Reservations are a must...but kids of all ages are welcome.  (You can even bring strollers & the like on the cruise!)  Check out their website:  Orange County Whale Watching for more information and for reservations.  Enjoy....your kids will be thrilled with it!

A rainy weekend is upon us in South Orange County, so it's a perfect time to head to the local library with your little kiddos!  Oprah.com has recommended books for children (of any ages).  Check out her top picks, as well as tips on how to help make your kids life-long readers & learners!
