A full moon is coming soon!

A not just a full moon, but for some, a prenumbral lunar eclipse and maybe even a meteor shower!

Peaking on Friday afternoon, the Flower moon will appear full and bright on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Don't miss it!

For some, this full moon will dim slightly during a prenumbral lunar eclipse (Continental Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the western Pacific Islands).

If you're lucky enough to see the prenumbral eclipse, you might also have potential for "shooting stars", as the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower occurs on May 5. The light from a full moon usually makes meteor showers particularly hard to see, but the lunar eclipse, combined with possible very bright meteors, might allow some of them to be visible.

With summer break coming I thought it would be good to try and plan something on a Saturday. Lufkin Zoo, Kanga's, trampoline park, Matthews pool. Just some ideas. Currently I work during the week. Comment a Saturday that would work and what activity you would like to do.

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile since we’ve posted but I came across something I wanted to share with all the beautiful families in the Polk County community with children on the spectrum. I was given this information from a friend and already have my sons appointment set up for the end of the month. There are many different reasons horse therapy is beneficial for children aside from the fact that they are super cool 😊. I’m hoping that my son, Elijah will gain a understanding of compassion towards animals, and if I’m honest have a little fun 😊. Please go check this company out and see if you think it’s a good fit for your little one. They do except insurance and Medicaid so don’t let payment be a cause to pass this opportunity up. Happy trotting everyone 😂
