Long Island Kids' Activities July 7th and 8th: More Fireworks, LI Toy Show, Essential Camping Skills Class
(Photo: Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center)
Long Island seems to be decompressing from the Fourth this weekend, though the Independence Day celebration is going strong through the weekend--you'll find still more fireworks this Saturday. So grab a blanket, take the kids, and enjoy the fireworks shows! There's also a great toy show at Hofstra for all those collector dads (they might even bring the kids along!), and the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center is offering an essential camping skills class.
