I’m always on the lookout for free and awesome things to do with my family, especially things that are appropriate for the little one. The Burien Wild Strawberry Festival<\/a> was the perfect way to spend Fathers’ Day Weekend. A small town festival with all the typical carnival rides and games, and entrance was free.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The festival was in the downtown common area, with a view of Mt. Rainier,<\/p>\n

\"view\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and we could even watch the activity at SeaTac Airport from the top of the Ferris wheel.<\/p>\n

There were plenty of activities for the kids. Some we had to pay for, like the rides,<\/p>\n

\"carousel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

but many more were free. A bouncy house, several different kids art stations and play stations, and the Firefighters let my little one sit in the driver’s seat of their ladder truck, and taught her all about dialing 9-1-1.<\/p>\n

\"firetruck\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were plenty of cultural events, including a Chinese dragon winding it’s way through the crowd,<\/p>\n

\"dragon<\/a><\/p>\n

and later found resting.<\/p>\n

And when the sun got just too hot, we went underground to watch the breakdancing competition in the parking structure.<\/p>\n

I love, love, love little festivals and fairs, and this is one of the better ones I’ve been to. We’ll be back next year.<\/p>\n

How did you spend Fathers’ Day Weekend?<\/p>\n
