Weekend Family Fun | October 24-25, 2020

Published: Wed, 10/21/20

Hi there

Can you believe the snow?

Of course, you can. It's #2020. And it's not unthinkable to have snow in October in Minnesota anyway. My kids and dog LOVED it. I enjoy seeing their enthusiasm even though taking my dog for her morning walk at 6:30 was fairly treacherous. (Just FYI, this is not by MY choice)

My Cub Scout and his Den Leader (his dad) are planning a chilly hike this weekend at Franconia Sculpture Park. I'm pretty excited for them. While both Anne and Joy love spending time at Franconia, I myself have never been there.

Are you looking for something to do this weekend? We have ideas for you.

It is our hope that you can use our October Family Events & Activities Guide page as a convenient way to find our traditional Free & Budget lists along with all the special themed activities each month brings. In October we highlight our favorite pumpkin patches, corn mazes and apple orchards across the Twin Cities Metro as well as keeping up with a monster list of Twin Cities Halloween events!

Christmas is a magical time of year, and the joy of Christmas shopping should reflect that. Get it done early and get it done quickly. That will leave you plenty of time for Memory-Making Magic this season.

I know it's early. And I'm sorry.

Generally I am so against Christmas information before Thanksgiving and now we're before Halloween. I'm going against all I believe in, but this year--especially-- we want to support our local businesses as much as possible.

This year stores are recommending that we shop early. Most of them have made recommendations for a smooth shopping experience.

Halloween is right around the corner, and if your kids are like mine, they have been talking about their halloween costumes since April. If your kids haven’t been talking about their costumes, count your blessings. It’s extremely tricky to encourage creativity and ingenuity all the while keeping it real in your own head.
