Last month we ran an article on an exciting event called Museum Day. More than a dozen area museums opened their doors for free on September 25 and we were so excited to see many Wichita area families take the day to explore and appreciate what there is to experience. Check out some pictures from that day in this issue! Who knows, you might see someone you know!

In this fall-focused issue we’re giving you a list of area pumpkin patches. This is definitely a great time of year to live in the Midwest! Corn mazes, hayrack rides, pumpkins fields and plenty of family-friendly attractions are ready to entertain you and your family.

A new monthly feature that you’ve got to check out is our column called Learning Together by local mom and former teacher Jenae Crowley. Jenae founded a website called, I Can Teach My Child, www.icanteachmychild.com, and she is passing on some of her great ideas for working with young children to you, our readers!

Check out the other great things we have going in this month’s Wichita Family Magazine. We’re always trying to keep up with the latest and greatest things that will appeal to you. Let us know what you’d like to see if you’re not seeing it already!
