Perfect treat-and-play outings with kids

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, rushing from one festive activity to the next. But if you ask nearly any kid (mine included) what a perfect day would include, I can almost guarantee that a sweet treat and a romp on a playground would make the list.

So if you find yourself running around the South Sound this season, we invite you to take a break, grab a sweet treat to share and let the kids burn off the sugar on the playground.
