We had a fun weekend enjoying the nice weather and outdoor festivals. We went to the Aquatennial Days fest in Minneapolis on Sunday the 15th where the kids enjoyed swimming, sand, games, and the kids first canoe trip. Jenna paddled the wrong way the entire time so the boys had to work very hard. We all enjoyed this first experience!
There was about 15 very cool sand creations at the beach. They all got different awards but Jake liked this one the best. We thought that maybe we could trick people and see if it looked like Jake built this one. He did not enter but we may have to look into creating one down the line since the kids seemed very interested.
Above are a few from a festival we went to on Saturday the 14th called Maple Grove Days. They had tons of kids activities and rides, business expo, big trucks, and a .8 mile fun run that Josh participated in. Josh really likes to run so we will be checking out more of these fun runs with the kids. This is such a great way to keep the kids active and wear them out a little which is really hard to do with all their energy at their ages.
It would take me forever to document everything so here are some of the activities that have been keeping the kids busy this summer. They love playing with all the neighbor kids and spending a lot of time outside:
Nature Walks, Fishing, Tennis, Soccer, Baseball, Flying Kites, Swimming, Super soaker fights, chalk, sidewalk paint, swing set, parks, tag, bike rides, scooters, bubbles, parades, festivals, fireworks, light sabers, shopping, ball games, movies, moms club events, strawberry picking, rides, games, BMX jumps, sandbox, inflatable bouncer, slip n slide, running through sprinklers... and more....
