Minnetonka Summer Fest

The last Saturday of June is Minnetonka Summerfest.  This is a great event for families in Minnetonka  and we have went for the past two years.

 

The event starts with a "tot trot"-  Marcus was so excited to run.  The 2-3 year race is about 1 block long.

 

Marcus ran into one of his daycare friends Logan.  They look ready to run!

Get ready to start now!  They have to follow a golf cart.

 



Marcus ran and ran.  I ran by him on the side of the road (that is what most of the parents were doing) and he ran along, until he lost me.  Then he stopped and just looked until I found him again.  Then we ran to the balloons at the finish line!

 



 

 

When the run was over we visited some of the other activities that the city of Minnetonka set up.  They had a ton of big blown up bounce houses and such.  Marcus didn't go into any of the bounce houses but he did ride in the fun cars.  He liked the firetrucks. 

 

They had a lot of fun things set up include polices car and a DNR station with turtles.  Marcus got to pet the painted turtle.  He was hesitant but he liked it.

The last thing we checked out what the petting Zoo.  It was fun but there was this funny horse that snorted every time Marcus got near.  He was not a fan of that ran away any time that "naughty' horse got near.
