Mainstreet Days

Once the weather cleared up, the afternoon turned out to be a great day for Mainstreet Days in Hopkins. The town blocks out half of main street for this event, filled with different crafters and food vendors. In addition, they had a street magician for the kids along with balloon animals and of course pony rides. We had a great time just getting out and enjoying some of the good weather.

Vehicle Day

Today was Vehicle day in Edina. They brought out all of the cities different vehicles that they use for the kids to check out. Becca had a great time looking and playing in all the different trucks. Not only did she get to play in all of the equipment, she got to meet some nice police and fire men and women. While we wished the weather would have been a little nicer, it didn't seem to effect anyones fun. I would defiantly recommend anyone with small children to check one of these out in your town.
