Allentown will be showing an outdoor movie once a month between now and October at Pocket Park! This week's movie is Karate Kid. Grab a blanket, some lawn chairs, and lot of snacks and head out for this fun event. Friday, May 14th at 9 PM


5. Enjoy Dinner at a Local Restaurant With Outdoor Dining 

The current weather forecast is calling for weather in the low 70's this morning, which has me thinking about dining al fresco. The Lehigh Valley has some amazing restaurants, and many of them are offering outdoor dining due to Covid Restrictions. Here are some of our family's favorites (all child friendly):
