## 🎉 Who Are We?

We’re not just a club — we’re a social rebellion against boring parenting.
Welcome to The Grown Up Table, where playdates come with playlists, errands come with bartenders, and you can show up in a cape with your kid and no one blinks.
We believe fun isn’t just for kids — it’s for families. Together. That’s why we built this.

## 🧩 What We Offer (A.K.A. The “Seriously, We Do All This?” List)

### 🎲 Event Types

Socials @ Breweries, Parks & Cool Spots
Think dress-up dinners, trivia nights, board games, and theme nights like Pajama Jam and Silly Hat Night.
Toy Swaps & Upcycle Days
Save money, reduce waste, and spark joy with rotating toy & gear exchanges.
Game Nights & Digital Play
Family Minecraft server, Mario Kart, Jackbox, and beyond.
Enrichment & Homeschool Meetups
Casual creative learning, parent-skill swaps, hands-on stations, and nature-based play.
Errands-as-Events
Laundry day + music + wine = community. Grocery runs, school supply prep, and even paperwork days with snacks and backup.
Fantasy & Adventure Events
Foam sword battles ("Slay the Dragon"), scavenger hunts, dress-up parades. Think wholesome chaos.
Family Dance Nights
Instructors lead adults + kids in goofy group moves and simple choreo to burn energy and make memories.
Remote Work Sessions
You bring your laptop. We bring the supervision. Locations vary. Productivity (and coffee) encouraged.
