I recently went to walk along Minnehaha Creek west of Lyndale in Mpls for the first time in many years and forget how awesomely shaded the paved and dirt walking/running trails are. Are there trail areas similar to that amount of shade and tree cover (in woods or along water) in good ol StP for a beginning trail jogger?
We have a 5-y/o who just wrapped up PreK (7:30am-2pm weekdays) and is heading to Kindergarten at the end of summer. During the past year he had a mandatory rest time in the last third of the day during school days. Even if the kids didn't actually sleep (which he didn't), it was a quiet time where everyone laid down on cots with lights low and had quiet time. We weren't good about keeping that same period during weekends, and I noticed crash/crabby behavior because of that. Now that we're in Summer Break mode, I'm already seeing some of that early afternoon crash, and it seems clear that we need to try to put in place a rest time during his summer days. Any suggestions or ways you've achieved something like this? He gave up napping a lonnnnng time ago, so a legit nap isn't likely, but what can we do for a rest period at home that doesn't feel like a punishment of sorts.
Any suggestions for a restaurant in MSP that serves Korean BBQ where they grill the food right at your table. I've only had it prepared that way when visiting friends in NYC, and would love to recreate that fun experience with family here at home. TIA!
Edit to add the spot in NYC we went to, which I highly recommend if you travel there. We ordered the Meat Mania service and it was bonkers delicious: https://newwonjo.com/
My 5 y/o just discovered air hockey at yesterday's Bad Weather Arcade event and can't stop talking about it. What spots in town could I take him to play more? Kid-friendly spots or course. He is used to and well-behaved in bar/taproom settings as long as kids are allowed as well. TIA.
