The holidays are over, the kids are back in school, and most of us are back to work and getting into a routine once more. After some time off, returning to normal life is tough, and that is why it is nice to have a weekend to look forward to full of fun events to get you out of the house. The first full weekend of the new year has plenty to offer, and the weather should be better than normal for this time of year. Here are some of the events taking place this weekend you won't want to miss.

While the exhibit has been there for months, the days of it being in Idaho are lessening day by day, and if you have not been to the Museum of Idaho to check out the Toytopia exhibit, you are going to want to get out to Idaho Falls and check it out before it is too late. The exhibit will only be there until January 29, so there is still time, but head out this weekend while the roads are nice and the weather allows it. At Toytopia, you can play, learn, and have fun at multiple hands-on exhibits, such as a life-size dollhouse, toys through the decades, a Lego station, a retro 80's arcade, and the popular giant piano.

If you haven't been out to see either CSI basketball team yet this season, you are missing out. The men's team currently sits at 17-0 and is ranked number two in the NJCAA rankings. The women's team is no slouch either, at 15-2 and ranked seventh in the NJCAA rankings. There are two chances to catch both teams this weekend, beginning tonight, Thursday, January 5. Both teams will play Snow College tonight on the CSI campus, with the women tipping off at 5 PM and the men tipping off after that at 7 PM. Both teams will take the court again in a couple of days on Saturday, January 7, against Colorado Northwestern Community College, with the women tipping off at 1 PM and the men tipping off at 3 PM.

Looking back on childhood, many of us likely wish we had been a little more prepared for adulthood. While we can't go back in time and prepare ourselves, we can help prepare our children. This weekend is one of those chances, as tonight, Thursday, January 5, there will be an adulting class at the Twin Falls Public Library. The class is for children aged 6th grade to 12th grade and teaches young adults how to do things they will need to know in life. This week's lesson is sewing and clothing repair, and the Falls Sewing Center will help teach the class. The class begins at 6 PM tonight, and for more details, you can click on the link above.
