Family Fun Night @ MarketFest

We had a nice Family Fun Night at MarketFest in White Bear Lake.

The kids couldn’t wait to get there and start spending their money on treats and rides. Tara sprung for some crazy yummy ice-cream sandwiches (they used hot cookies and some great ice cream)… amazing.

Emma wanted to do the bungee ride, which initially scared Jake. I was pretty impressed that Emma would try something like that at 4. Jake got over his fear pretty quickly, but had already missed a place in line.

While Emma was waiting in line (long, long time), Jake got to play some kind of ducky game, shoot water balloons, and run an obstacle course.

It was a ton of fun!

Family Fun Night

What’s family fun night? It’s one night a week that we take just to do something fun as a family. It’s a great way for us to always focus on slowing down and taking time to enjoy being a family. This has been something that Daddy has been suggesting for years and we finally instituted it with great success this past spring.

Tonight’s Family Fun Night theme was family movie night. It started with Jake & Emma drawing movie posters. Everyone got to make a treat movie mix. This consisted of a variety of candy choices (Rolos, M&Ms, Fruit Chews, Starburst, Pringles & Cherries) that they got to pick and put in a little baggie to enjoy during the move. The feature movie was Bugs Bunny. Everyone enjoyed it! We finished the evening with make your sundaes that included daddy’s favorite magic shell. Abby was mostly oblivious, but enjoyed a lot of high fives and crawling all over and exploring.

Last Week Family Fun Night: We enjoyed a great evening at Market Fest. The kids got to play in 2 bounce houses: a giant slide and pirate ship obstacle course. We got some fresh squeezed lemonade and a few treats. It was a great summer evening in MN and we made it back to the car just in time for the rain to start. It’s really great living in White Bear Lake. Market Fest is just one of the things that makes White Bear Lake a great little community. Of course the lake is awesome, I have been luck enough to go running by the lake almost every week day at 5am.
