So That's Why I'm Pooped!

So as I was trying to decide what to post tonite, I decided...... I couldn't decide. What a busy weekend. It all started on Thursday - Aubree and I got a Nana/Aubree day! We have so much fun and try to pack as much into each day as possible. We swam, watered flowers, went fishing, went for a walk, had a picnic, rode in the "little car" to go get ice cream, made sand castles and swam some more, to name a few. Friday, I had a meeting in Marshfield to discuss a 50th Wedding Anniversary Party I am doing there the end of the month. When I got home the kids came for pizza and "fun". We were walking by the pond and Aubree found a frog. Here she is catching the frog. She is such a "girly girl" yet has so much fun with frogs, snakes, fishing, etc. I guess that makes for a well rounded child. Heather told her to kiss the frog and see if it turned into a prince...... so she did! No Prince.

Saturday was a crazy day starting with cleaning the house, watering flowers, etc. We had Casey's Bridal Shower in the afternoon, then went to meet friends for dinner and to go to the Hot Air Balloon Rally in Wausau. Heather, Morgan and Aubree were also with. Although the wind picked up and they were not able to take off, they did inflate and give everyone a "Glow Show". They were beautiful and it was a lot of fun.

There were a "gazillion" people there and most were in line to get food. They could have had about 10 times the amount of concession stands there. Most lines had about 200 people in them. There was even a stand that sold deep fried oreo cookies......that's just wrong!

Aubree had the best seat in the house - She got to sit on Papa's shoulders.

They had the Hot Hare Balloon there also. It is the largest balloon in the world. It was huge and awesome to see.

The day ended long after dark with a trip to DQ.... Gotta have that ice cream.

Sunday started with setup in the park for Sunday's Church Service. Our church has a service in the park each month in the summer. It is a wonderful service and very relaxed. It was a little chilly and it started to rain, but I still think everyone enjoyed it.

The afternoon took me to Munson Bridge Winery. I have an upcoming wedding there and needed to take care of some details. It is such a beautiful place and should be a wonderful wedding. For those of you who have not had an

opportunity to visit there, it really is worth the short trip. Wonderful atmosphere and the wine is excellent.



The weekend ended with "Hayseed and Cooks", the kids and friends coming for an impromptu cookout and to swim. Although it was a bit chilly, the water is about 90 so plenty warm and so much fun. The slide was getting a workout...not only the little kid but also the big kids. Glad everyone had so much fun.

Aubree also had an eventful day. She lost her first tooth. The tooth fairy will be making a visit there tonite.

One last photo of my "Pickles" I took a bunch of these and thought they turned out so cute. I need to do a little Photoshop but thought I would post one.

Also got a call on Saturday that some very good friends of ours are Grandparents again. How exciting for them and the happy mommy, daddy and big brother. Congrats to all! Can't wait to see that new little bundle.
