4th of July

We were so blessed to have AWESOME weather for the 4th of July. Things have been so hit or miss weather-wise lately in Wisconsin that it's getting hard to even plan anything outside. So, the fact that we had b-e-a-u-tiful weather and got to be outside made the weekend worthwhile.

Friday: Our day started off with E waking up and deciding, "Hey wife, today would be a good day to get out the ladder and wash the outside of all our windows." Um, it would? In what world?

Well, luckily I had plans at noon so after a few windows, I left the rest of the windows to him, and my Mom and I went down to have lunch with my brother. We played a little bit of fetch with his dog Wanda, and then were off to my Godparents where E met us there eventually.

A little bbq, a little croquet later, and it was time for some fireworks. Did I mention their neighbors put on a show. Like, a 3 trips to the Caribbean amount of money show. It's INSANE!

Saturday: We had a low-key day, which was amazing. I sat outside and read, Eion went golfing. It really was the perfect "weekend" day. Our night included curling on the couch with our Culvers Custard and watching "Monuments Men." Yeah... not a fan. It was way too slow for my liking.


Sunday: Our tradition of "Sunday Summerfest" continued. The perks of going the last day? Free admission. We easily save $40. We stayed about 2 and a half hours, walked around the grounds, stopped and danced to a few bands. As we were leaving we decided to finally go to Sobelman's, a restaurant we've tried to go to multiple times. They've been featured on the food channel before for their burger and massive bloody mary. I wasn't super impressed with the burger, but the bloodys did me in. The problem I found with day drinking...ready for bed by 6 pm.

Today, I am ready to do nothing but sleep, however my grocery list speaks otherwise. Ugh.
