ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair. I was extremely excited when I heard they were opening at the end of May. Last year we definitely felt a void in our summer without our beloved ValleyFair. So we could not wait to go when we found out they were opening. As soon as the kids saw Wild Thing from 101 the giggles and excitement in the car skyrocketed. Peyton and Morgan could not wait to get inside the park ...

Did you know Charles Schultz, the creator of Charlie Brown and all his friends (Peanuts), was from Minnesota? Well, he is.

What’s New at Valleyfair for 2018
Growing up, the annual trip to Valleyfair in Shakopee, Minnesota was a day we all looked forward to. Every year there is always something new at Valleyfair.

And every year there is always something new to see and experience. Valleyfair does a great job at keeping the park fresh and fun for all members of the family. This weekend, Peyton ...
Snoopy’s Golf Club Sandwich Copy Cat Recipe
Peyton and I were fortunate to be invited to a media preview day at ValleyFair for the Peanuts Celebration going on every weekend from now until June 30th.

The Great Pumpkin Fest at Valley Fair
Growing up in Minnesota meant spending summers at Valley Fair. We would usually go with school and then my dad would take us at least once during the summer.

And there are two different events that take place - The Great Pumpkin Fest and Valley Scare. Peyton and I took in the Great Pumpkin Fest and are going to share what we thought. So, first off, it's fall people. ...
Should You Visit Six Flags Great America Chicago??
I've been spending part of my summers in Chicago for my whole life. I have family down there and as kids, we used to stay and visit with my cousin for weeks. Now, as an adult, I go down and visit several times a year. In addition to all those little visits, Peyton spends a few weeks in Chicago every summer with family. It's a great way for her to become more independent and give me a break. But, in all the years I have been visiting Chicago we have never gone to Six Flags Great America. Can you ...
