My mind has slowly been checking out of school this week.   Not surprising with 97 degree weather yesterday and 95 today…

Summer is coming.

Thank. God.

So, I am starting to find things to do with Punky.   Some of our favorite things to do in the metro area…

• Como Zoo (including Cafesjian’s Carousel)
• KidCreate Studio (The Thomas the Tank Engine class is très appealing!)
• Local parks
• Elm Creek Beach (We had LOTS of fun there last year!)
• Minneapolis Farmers’ Market
• Storytimes
• Library Visits
• Movie Theater Specials for Kids

This summer I want to go to the Minnesota Children’s Museum, which I have a hunch is just like the Kohl’s Museum we went to in IL in March.

I also want to go to the Minnesota Transportation Museum.   Punky would love the Jackson Street Roundhouse!

I’d like to go to the Firefighter’s Hall & Museum too.

We’ll probably be heading to Chicago for a week, too, to visit my family.  Punky is already talking about his trip to see Gwandma Holly and Gwandpa Ed! Plus, we have the Annual Hill Picnic!

I will keep checking the GoCityKids website for daily ideas for even more fun…
