Did you get to chill out this weekend?  Did you go on the Bird and Nature Walk at Wolfe’s Pond Park or watch Chuck, the Groundhog, look for his shadow or join the Adult Coloring Group at the Great Kills Library?  Did you check out Pastry Lover’s Choice and reserve a spot at their My Kid and Me Valentine’s Day Cookies Workshop or the Adult Cake Decorating with Fondant Workshop on 2/26?  Check out the pictures below from the Cookies Workshop.
