My last week is a bit of a blur.
It is kind of all rolling into one happy memory, but I will attempt to document some of the fun activities that occurred duing said week.
Last Wednesday Courtney and the girls were coming out to celebrate Soliana's birthday with Gigi.
Courtney had a flat tire just outside of Rosendale.
I drove there to rescue the girls and brought them here to Watertown while Courtney waited for a new tire.
Eventually she was able to join us for a little party.
We all went out to El Mariachi for a nice dinner and then the three of them headed home.
On Saturday, the 19th, Tiz and Paul headed out to Montana to spend some time with Paul's family.
I knew it would be a long few days for Courtney without her first baby.
Courtney (and I, for that matter) had mixed feelings about sending Tiz off to the wilds of Montana. The family cabin is in a very remote area totally cut off from all communication, no running water, no electricity.
Nothing for this lady.
On Saturday, before Courtney and Soli arrived, John and I took a bike ride on the Hank Aaron trail which goes into Milwaukee. It was a virgin trail for us and we loved it.
We saw the Miller stadium the domes, and many other landmarks along the 12 mile trail.
We found a wonderful little eatery right on the Menomonee River which served up yummy seafood.
It was a great day for such a fun ride.
Here are a few photos
We got on the trail on 94th Place near Lafollette Park.
John's old house on 80th Street.
We took a small detour off the trail to see it.
After our bike ride, Courtney and Soli arrived to start our adventure, or vacation as Soli called it.
We had dinner at On the Rock, sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Gigi joined us, too.
When we got home, we had a slide show, reliving many old memories from my childhood.
On Sunday, after church, John and I had to go over to school to put my classroom back together after waxing.
Courtney and Soli went over to the pool, I joined them when I got home from school.
There was Escalade washing and driving after the pool.
On Monday, Courtney, Soli and I rode the Lake Country trail from Oconomowoc to Delafield.
It was another beautiful day for bike ride and we enjoyed ourselves.
We stopped at three parks along the way.
We enjoyed treats at Bread Co. in Delafield.
And grandpa was able to join us for lunch at Cushing Park in Delafield.
Soli fell asleep on the ride back to Oconomowoc.
She was able to rally too play at Imagination Station though when we got back to Oconomowoc.
Soli is just like her sister because she loves to be the photographer and set up the shots.
On Monday afternoon we headed back to Oshkosh to spend the rest of our "vacation" up there.
We had dinner at Ardy and Ed's root beer stand on Monday night.
Tuesday was very hot and humid.
I cleaned and organized the girls' rooms in the morning.
Soli was a great little helper with that project.
We went to Hot Dog Charlie's for lunch. Yummy hot dogs and bottles of soda.
We walked in all that heat over to Caramel Crisp for dessert.
Soli chose a sucker and gum, of course.
Our next stop was Lowe's and Menard's.
Soli and I had more fun there than any people should be allowed to have with our crazy driving!
Then is was Culver's for sodas, a grilled cheese, and custard.
It was a day of eating and staying cool in air conditioned places.
We ordered Rocky Roccoco's for dinner and then spent the night watching Soli's favorite show, The Munsters.
Wednesday brought a trip to the zoo for Soli and I.
Stay tuned for that trip on my next post!
This one is getting way too long.
