A little something new from Miss Shae! 🐌📬

If you’ve been coming to Backyard Fun Zone for a while, there’s a pretty good chance you know Shae... or, as some of our littlest regulars know her, Miss Shae. 🥹

She’s usually the face you see at the front desk, the voice answering the phone, the one planning our events, and someone who has gotten to know so many of your kiddos over the years.

Backyard Fun Zone has always been a family business, but recently Shae decided to take a leap and start a little something of her very own: Auntie Mail Club 💌

Auntie Mail Club was created to bring back the magic of snail mail for kids. Teaching them how to write letters and postcards, encouraging creativity and connection, and giving them something exciting to find in the mailbox.

There will be snail-mail starter kits, kid-friendly stationery, pen-pal fun, activities, art contests, how-to's and lots of happy mail along the way. 🐌✏️🎨📮

Since so many of the families who follow Backyard Fun Zone have gotten to know Shae here, and so many of your kiddos have become pretty special to her, we thought this was the perfect place to share her new adventure, too. ❤️

If your kids love getting mail, drawing pictures, making cards, writing notes, or just doing something a little different from another screen... we think they're going to LOVE Auntie Mail Club.

Go check out Auntie Mail Club and come along for the adventure! 💌🐌We’re pretty excited to see where Miss Shae takes this. 🥹

Teaching kids the lost art of letter writing — one stamp at a time.

🐾 IT’S NATIONAL DOG DAY! 🐾

Around here, we think every workplace could use a little more tail wagging. 🐶❤️

Meet Stella, our occasional Backyard Fun Zone employee! She may not be great at answering phones, selling playsets, or installing trampolines… but she takes her role as Chief Morale Officer very seriously. 😂🐾

In honor of National Dog Day, we want to see YOUR four-legged family members!

📸 Drop a picture of your dog in the comments and tell us their name! Bonus points for ridiculous poses, guilty faces, or dogs who also think they should be allowed to come to work. 🤣

Happy National Dog Day from Stella & the Backyard Fun Zone crew! 🐕💙

A little surprise? It's not just the floors changing in here!! We've been hard at work moving things around and incorperating some fun new things to our space! Can't wait to see you!
