There’s a long weekend on deck for most families, and it’s an important reminder to thank our military veterans for their service and sacrifices. Thank you! This weekend’s family fun menu includes a lovely lantern show that’s back in town and a magical new Harry Potter experience that beckons young wizards and witches. Also on the menu: a mélange of indoor and outdoor activities to suit the showery forecast. When the drizzle subsides, head for the playground of the week.
