Weekend Family Fun | September 12-13, 2020

Published: Wed, 09/09/20

Hi there

I had an awkward moment yesterday when I called my best friend and asked how her kids' first day was.

She answered, "They didn't go."

I was taken aback. When was that decision made? Was hybrid cancelled and they are going back online or was it delayed?

Oh, the things we never imagined we would say.

I feel like all of the US is losing its ever-lovin' minds. One way or the other.

But guess what's back!

Weekend Family Guide. Because there is fun to be had around the Twin Cities.

September is that glorious month in Minnesota where it's still possible to run around in shirtsleeves, enjoying the sunshine. We like to make every late summer day count and have listed our picks for this weekend below. Remember, there may be social distancing measures in place or other modifications to consider.

The Landmark Center is a historical building right in the heart of downtown St. Paul. It was once the federal building for the city which included courtrooms and the post office. Today it is a landmark (ha!) and houses not only the historical information of the building but also many different museums. Each fall through spring, the Landmark hosts Sunday family events, aptly named “Sundays at Landmark“. The 2020-2021 season begins September 20, 2020 with the VIRTUAL Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think we are going to ever go back to normal. I also don’t think this is the new normal. I believe this is what CHANGE is. It’s hard now, so that it can be better later. And this is happening in all areas of our lives including in our educational system.

The Covid Crisis is encouraging families to break out of the mold and try education in a new way. And there are some businesses around the metro who are offering safe and healthy ways to do that.

I don't know about you, but we have lots of questions about what is opening, has opened, and will not open. We are collecting those on a pinterest board.
