[quote=pk92108]no we are not black….professional white people to answer the post from above…I think the yardwork idea is a pretty good one and I was actually going to be doing that anyway…I am treating it like my own house and watering the newly installed lawn everyday (even though I pay for the water)…

thanks for the good advice….And yes, perhaps there are alot of other professionals juggling the kids and careers which makes little time for socializing….but I will do my part and see what happens…[/quote]

Pk, my observation here in CV is in the interest of your kids, it’s probably best you get them involved in some sort of activity or sports. Though my neighbors are pretty cool to me and vice versa, we rarely hang out because a lot of us have our own set of friend circles. However, I find that taking my kid to their activity events, I end up spending a lot of time with my kid’s friend’s parents all over carmel valley.

soccer and softball/baseball are pretty big with games always playing on the weekends at parks.

For toddlers, try mingling in the playground at public parks. Or tumbling/gymnastic classes, or the Carmel Valley community center has a boat load of activity.

I’ve got my kid joining a gymanastics class. By the time she’s 6, she’s be just in time to compete in the 2012 olympics. I’ll just make sure to provide a passport that says she’s 16.
