April Family Friendly Events for the Indy Area, 2016

I am here with your April Family Friendly events. I’m sorry, Indy friends, for not getting your March family friendly events posted. I have been battling illnesses since mid-January. Between being ill and a trip to Disney, March just slipped by.

Spring is here so things should be warming up around Indianapolis. Please check out the activities I have found for you so far. If you find something I haven’t posted, please let me know and I will add it to the calendar.

Stop by and chat sometime on my blog’s Facebook page, Love To Laugh and Learn.
