Hello South Metro Families!
If you've been waiting for the perfect week to get outside and enjoy summer, you're in luck! Next week's forecast is looking beautiful, with temperatures in the higher 70s—just right for making memories with your family before summer starts flying by.
If you're looking for something fun to do this Thursday (July 16) be sure to stop by the IGM Gymnastics Open House in Burnsville from 6:30–8:30 p.m. It's a wonderful opportunity to tour the gym, tumble, flip and learn more about the exciting programs available this fall. Whether your child is just starting out or already loves gymnastics, it's a great evening of family fun.
Still searching for ways to keep the kids active this summer? Camp Urbie at Urban Air Adventure Park in Apple Valley and IGM Gymnastics Summer Camps both offer fantastic opportunities for children to stay active, build confidence, make new friends, and create lasting summer memories. Whether they're bouncing, climbing, tumbling, or learning new skills, either camp is sure to be an adventure they'll be talking about long after summer ends.
The fun doesn't stop there! Monster Jam roars into St. Paul this weekend (July 18-19), bringing high-flying trucks, incredible stunts, and adrenaline-pumping excitement the whole family will love.
And don't forget—WWE SummerSlam takes over U.S. Bank Stadium from August 1-2! This historic two-night event is one of the biggest entertainment weekends of the summer, and tickets are available now if you want to experience all the action live.
District 196 ECFE invites you to register for fall classes. They offer one-time weekly events for parents and children to enjoy together. Supporting early childhood development and parenting is their passion. They believe everyone deserves guidance through their parenting journey.
As always, be sure to check the Macaroni Kid South Metro Events Calendar for even more local events, activities, and family adventures happening throughout the week. There is so much to see and do, and we're here to help you "Find Your Family Fun®" all summer long!
Have a wonderful week, enjoy the beautiful weather, and make some amazing memories together!
Happy Adventures,
Jodi Lorence ☀️
