T
By Sally Deering
urn off the boob tube, unplug the Xbox and store the video games in the vegetable bin. It’s summer and that means enticing your “mini-me” off the couch and into the fresh air. There are lots of fun – and educational – things planned for kids in Hudson this summer: Secaucus has life-sized dinosaurs; Hoboken has robot workshops; and Jersey City invites kids to dig for fossils in Liberty State Park. That’s just a sampling; here’s a list. Enjoy!
