Father’s Day Roundup

So here we go - Father’s Day is Sunday. I realize it’s late on Friday - so you are probably well on your way to starting your weekend.

But here goes the yearly question - what do you plan to do?
We usually go to the Stone Arch Festival something for everyone there - cool vintage cars, art, photography, pottery crafts, kids activities, good food and great music. I think one of my favorite views of downtown Minneapolis is from St. Anthony Main. Plus it’s fun to walk down and take a close up look at the dam.

My husband is feeling like keeping it simple and NOT manuevering a double stroller around the masses. So we’re going to skip our yearly tradition this year.

I checked out other options:

there are Weiner Dog races at Canterbury

the Parktacular celebration in St. Louis Park

Back to the 50’s Auto Show at the Fairgrounds.

just to name a few.

But just like I felt on Mother’s Day - he is feeling like he wants to split some time to himself and to spend with the family (no crowds)

One simple wish? A solo run without pushing a 70 pound double stroller.
Check! I can grant that. What else? We’re still figuring that out.

What are dad’s out there requesting - where/what will you do to celebrate?

ps: We want to say a special Happy Father’s Day and congratulations from Cribsheet to the father we wish we didn’t have to know but check in on frequently - Matt Logelin .
I’m sure many of you have heard has a book in the works. Congrats Matt! You know we’ll all be anxious to get our hands on the book as soon as it comes out.

We’re on flu watch, so it is a day at home for us. I may sneak out to the store for some good breakfast foods, but likely it will be waffles and sausage.

Seeing as for Mother’s Day I got a card, and that was about it, he’s not really getting much more.
