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 ...
Minnesota
Kona Ice of Stillwater
Every weekend I look for food trucks that will be in our local area. Since the Minnesota State Fair was canceled and we can't really travel much, finding and trying out new food trucks every weekend has kinda become our thing. I've seen Kona Ice of Stillwater posts in our local mom's groups and I have been eager to try it out. When I saw that it was going to be in downtown Stillwater today I knew that was the food truck Peyton and I were going to check out this weekend. I knew what time Kona ...
Items You Need for a Birthday Weekend at Great Wolf Lodge
The world is pretty different today than when I booked this birthday party back in November 2019 for May 2020. Who would have ever thought we would be where we are today? I know it had never occurred to me that there would be a time we could not gather together due to a virus. Never. That's exactly what did happen and is happening all over our world. This is our third or fourth date to have Peyton's birthday party. It was going to be an epic party! We have a beautiful pool in our backyard ...
Holiday Duck Donuts for Santa
We were provided a complimentary dozen duck donuts in exchange for sharing about Duck Donuts. All opinions are our own and are not influenced by the complimentary dozen. The holidays are full swing around here. We have the Christmas tree up and we are starting to do a little baking. But this year, I think we are going to do something a little different for Santa. All the other houses are going to be leaving Santa Claus a plate of cookies and milk. I would think after the millionth plate of ...
Wizard of Oz Movie Party with Alamo Drafthouse
Did you know, 80 years ago today, the Wizard of Oz premiered on the big screen? I didn't know either, but it did. The folks over at Alamo Drafthouse decided to throw a movie viewing party to celebrate this special day. Peyton and I were invited to attend the viewing party and check out the Alamo Drafthouse in Woodbury. I must admit, we were both pretty excited. We've been to plenty of movie screeners but never a movie viewing party so we had no clue what to expect. The Alamo Drafthouse does ...
It’s Peanuts Celebration Weekends at ValleyFair!
Did you know Charles Schultz, the creator of Charlie Brown and all his friends (Peanuts), was from Minnesota? Well, he is. We are home to many pieces of Charles Schultz inspired artwork and even those amazing Peanuts character statues throughout the state. Our ValleyFair has turned the child area of the park into a Peanuts-themed wonderland for littles. Complete with rides, statues and photo ops throughout the park, any Peanuts fan would be in heaven. This year, ValleyFair is kicking off summer ...
