Take Me Out To The....

...Picnic, Parade and Ballgame. Let me explain our weekend.

The picnic was what we were suppose to enjoy Friday evening at Bay Beach Amusement Park but a call from daycare that Jackson has pink eye put an end to that idea (contagious for 24 hrs). Since we had already spilled the beans that morning about the evening plans the picnic still happened, in the family room.

It was early Saturday morning (7:30 am) and Jackson decided to put on a parade at home, in the front yard. All version of plastic cars, trucks, trains and animals were allowed to participate. This parade didn't discriminate, even the plastic goats fell in line at one point. The only thing his parade was missing were the people throwing candy, that's where Mom came in. I provided candy from our last parade stash. Besides our imaginary parade, we were entertained by Maggee stalking birds in the yard. It's no surprise they are smarter than she is.

Saturday night was the Wisconsin Timber Rattler game. We played the Burlington Bees and won! This was our first T-rats game and it won't be our last. They have tons of stuff for the kids to do when their energy levels rise and their attention to baseball wanes.


One of the 'draws' of the game was Windell Middlebrooks, the Miller High Life Delivery Guy. For some reason just hearing him talk cracks me up.
