Welcome to our weekly post about what's going on in the Des Moines, Iowa area. We'll share what we'll be doing, great finds, restaurants to eat at, shops to drop some cash at, and just all the great things Des Moines has to offer families.
What We're Doing:
- Yard Work and getting ready for the Birthday Bash--it's just one week away!
- Fong's in Ankeny. We haven't had a spare moment to try it out, but it seems much more family friendly and has tons more seating than the downtown location.
Other Happenings:
- Food Truck Throw Down at the Des Moines Social Club. This would be a great Saturday evening/night date!
- Family story time at Barnes and Noble (Jordan Creek). 11 a.m. Saturday.
- Looking for something sweet after story time? Head over to Scratch Cupcakery for a taste of their delicious summer flavors.
- Barnstormers game. 7:05 Saturday.
- Hiking at Brown's Woods. We went hiking there for the first time last weekend. It was not only a pretty hike, but it was only a 10 minute drive from our house! Great little hiking place.
