I need to know what there is to do out here!!! i cant keep the kids in this summer...so can anyone give me ideas of things to do with the kids (keep in mind I will have a newborn in July)

Whats the weather like in summer here ?Im I going to want to be outside?

Also, any moms of older kids(3-5)? How do i find out about local sports? T-ball? football?

Anything in Birmingham or even McCalla area (hubby works out that way)

Well, I'll be clear-it gets HOT here in the summer! It's typically very humid and in the 90s during the  day . Spring always seems like it goes by too fast...the hotter temps will start in May. For places to go, I would first try checking your local city website to see a list of locations of public city parks close to you.

Off the top of my head, there is-

McWane Center-It's a kids science museum with an IMAX dome theater. So it's indoors , all kid friendly, and stroller friendly It's in downtown Birmingham.

Birmingham Zoo -has fountain play area in the summer kids can run through to get cool after seeing the animals. 

- Aldridge Gardens in Hoover-it's a botanical garden with paths and a pond. Great place to take a walk, but the longer path isn't paved.

-Vision Land-amusement park in Bessemer 

I am sure I am forgetting something.... Hopefully others will have other suggestions for you

Whats the weather like in summer here ?Im I going to want to be outside?  It's HOT, but, as long as you're not going out in the very worst part of the day (noon - 4 ish) you should be fine being outside with a newborn - just stick to the shade

Also, any moms of older kids(3-5)? How do i find out about local sports? T-ball? football? It depends on what suburb you live in.  Call your local parks & rec department.  I think baseball is probably already done with registration.  My cousins have already started practice, but I think soccer might still be a go.

Anything in Birmingham or even McCalla area (hubby works out that way) There are several local parks and playgrounds around.  Also, depending on the suburb you can probably join a community pool.  Homewood, Vestavia and Hoover all have community pools just off the top of my head.

If you don't mind driving to Tuscaloosa, CHOM (Childrens Hands On Museum) is there.
