This weekend we had some great weather and even better company! Friday night, our friends from college came to town with their darling daughter, Baby J, who is about 6.5 months and all kinds of cute.
Saturday we went to check out the Art Walk on Brady Street with my brother and sister-in-law. We took Charlie and their puppy and made it a family affair. Perfect weather, cold beer, and amazing people-watching made our afternoon fabulous. We brought the party back to our place and threw some chicken on the grill for dinner and enjoyed the evening on our new deck. One of our neighbors had a rummage sale and seems to have had a very challenging time getting rid of his treasures as he continued to knock on the fence and ask us if we wanted stuff (even into the morning/afternoon). When we politely declined (we've got enough junk of our own, thanks), he muttered, "I can't even give this shit away" as he sulked away. The night was made by our other neighbor's backyard birthday party. This party had it a l l. For real. A bouncy house, a petting zoo, and karaoke. We were impressed and feel the bar has been set pretty high for Charlotte's birthday party in August!
Today we continued to enjoy the sunshine and put up the sun shade tent that my mom bought for Charlotte at Target and filled the water table. Charlotte attacks that water table any time it's assembled; she cannot STAND to see the water wheel actually in its appropriate location. We grilled brats and asparagus for lunch and then said goodbye to our friends.
The amount of grilling that we've done this weekend has me really feeling like it's summer! We grill year-round, but there's something about sitting outside to eat and not freezing your butt off while you're out there! I'm working on a bucket list for Charlotte, Porch, and I for the summer now that we're officially in Wisconsin and have a new city to explore together! I want to make some great memories together as a family of 3!
What's on your summer list?
