Know of anything fun to do on President's Day with a 4 year old?

Stay home and play. Seriously, don't schedule special outings for every day off. There is more value in simple play at home.

I don't understand why people post things like this. Maybe they don't have 4 year olds or forget what it is like. My four year old doesn't want to do "simple play at home". Sure, he will play legos for 45 minutes or so and might tolerate a craft that I set up, but he's an active boy with an active mind, and he's up for an adventure. For us, long weekends, are an opportunity to do something new together, that we might not ordinarily have time to do.

OP, we are members of the St. James and will go the waterpark on Monday, bc it is free for members on weekdays.

Have a great weekend!

Double check that - I have feeling St. James will consider Monday a "weekend/holiday" and thus not give you the free weekday perk.

I am sure they will discover this loop hole down the road, but for now it is free for members.

What do you normally do on weekends?

Going to the pool in the afternoon to ensure an early bedtime.
