B on B that is an incredible idea. I’ll add it to my best “outdoor” things for kids post I have coming. I did a bike ride with my church when I was a kid where we rode to the local apple orchard, got donuts and cider and rode back. It was a blast.

Something to add to the list is a new family-friendly bike ride appropriate for even the training-wheel and tag-along set! Kidical Mass is just in the planning stages, and if readers are interested in helping to organize – or just to participate in – short bike rides of 4 or 5 miles, with stops for ice cream and parks, they should visit the site.

Good list! I would add that Minto Brown is a great place for little kids. There is a small playground, but even better, there are birds and ducks and raccoons and rabbits and blackberries and wildflowers, all within reach of paved, toddler-friendly paths. It’s a great place to learn about agriculture, see bald eagles, watch boats on the Willamette or just hang out in the shade.

Recent buyer I tend to skip over grammatical errors and read things as they were intended. If there are a lot of gross typos that is one thing, but the intent of their site is to inform the public about their services. A few typos don’t negate the good service they offer for our young children.

I have caught many a typo in my posts, sometimes months later. It happens.

Lynn Preuss, author of “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” would have a fine time with your #1 choice’s complete bafflement concerning the apostrophe …

On the page that you linked to you can find the plural of toy as “toy’s,” the plural of photo as “Photo’s,” and (next to the helpful reminder that it occurs on January 1) “New Years Day” — perhaps several years start at once that day, but then the apostrophe should still be used, only after the s rather than before . . . .

Naturally, there is no possessive apostrophe in “NW Kids Club” at all.
