Is it just me or does it seem like summer is flying by this year? Get out there and enjoy it while you can. There’s a lot going on this weekend for kids and grownups too. Here’s a few that caught my eye:

Bubble Fest at the Pacific Science Center

We went to this last year and had a great time. It’s bubble madness with bubble shows, bubble pits, stations for blowing your own bubbles, and you can even kayak through the bubbles in the science center “ponds.”

August 6-10 at the Pacific Science Center

Bicycle Saturday

Just about every other weekend, the city closes off the 4-mile stretch of Lake Washington Boulevard that leads up to Seward Park to motorized vehicles, making way for cyclists big and small. It’s a beautiful ride along the lake, with plenty of choice spots to stop for a picnic, if you’re so inclined.

August 9, 9am – 6pm

Schoolhouse Rock!

If you have fond memories of spending Saturday mornings watching a cartoon bill sing the blues about the long road to becoming a law, then this Bellevue Youth Theatre production of Schoolhouse Rock! is for you (but you can pretend it’s for the kids).

Friday, August 8, and Saturday, August 9, at 7pm. Sunday, August 10, at 2pm.

Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival

The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival brings you not one, but two free plays at Volunteer Park this weekend. Alice in Wonderland at 2pm and The Wind in the Willows at 5pm. Bring a blanket and suncreen.

Both plays run Saturday and Sunday.

Dances of Mexico

Learn about the history of Mexican folk dance when Ballet Folklorico Ollin, comes to the Queen Anne branch of the Seattle public library.

August 9, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.
