right now they are predicting some cooler temps on saturday!! only 82!! we're hoping to do something outside with our two young children. any suggestions??
how are William B. Umstead State Park and Lake Crabtree County Park??
we are planning on going to falls lake this weekend, which you can enjoy with or without a boat.......lots of people go to the 'beaches' on the lake and hang out all day.........
Take the Wake Co. loop of the biking trail on the Atlantic Tobacco Trail-it starts off Hwy 64 in Apex and goes 1 mi in one direction or 8 mi in the opposite. The trail is wide, easy/flat and very safe for families- one man last weekend had one of those rigs that you pull your baby behind.(attached to the bike).
Take them to Pullen Park if they are too young to bike-many good things for kids there. The fairgrounds flea market might be not so fascinating to the kids (unless there are puppies for sale) but you can take em for ice cream afterwards!
A day trip to the waterpark in G-Boro if they are old enough to go in the kiddie pool.
Have fun!

I took sailing lessons at Lake Crabtree (in sun fishes), and it was a lot of fun. That's also an idea for the person looking for things teens might enjoy; they have a teen sailing program:
