When you’re in the Nob Hill area, consider stopping by Mud Puddles Toy and Books.  This Toy Store is right on the main road near various restaurants and shops including Santa Fe Taqueria and Salt and Straw.  It’s one room with rows of toys for purchase and several playstations available for kids dispersed throughout. You’ll find a Calico Critter station and a train track set up in the back corner, and an art table, kennel, and more up in the front corner.  Grab a coffee down the road at Barista and come here to reset and let your children spend time getting creative before you take them shopping on the town!

Emily Coleman
Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
