Grab & Go Kids Planner: Let's Go Fly A Kite

1. Your kids believe in fairytales so let them witness a real one. YouTube, along with tons of other broadcast stations will be carrying the ceremony live as Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton tie the knot on Friday, April 29 at 10 a.m. London time (6 a.m.) our time.  It’s the biggest royal wedding since many of us parents were kids. I remember watching the marriage of Princess Di and Prince Charles on a small TV sans a remote. Now you can catch this wedding online with live multi-media blogs, twitters and more.

2. The Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington Avenue) in Boston will host its annual Arts in Bloom family day on Saturday, April 30 from 11 to 3 p.m. Enjoy art-making activities, storytelling, performances, and more. Free with Museum admission. See the MFA's galleries transformed by almost 70 extraordinary arrangements inspired by magnificent works of art. This year's Art in Bloom arrangements are located throughout the Museum, including 28 in the new Art of the Americas Wing.
