Another Week Begins

After a difficult week, I was so ready for the weekend to be here.  It was also Ed’s last weekend before he went back to work – he had knee surgery six weeks ago –so we wanted to take full advantage of the time.  Once I got home from work on Friday we wasted no time in letting the weekend begin.  We started out at Painted Parrott for a Fish Fry (our favorite) and then headed to Falls Fest in Menomonee Falls, WI where we danced & sang (and sweat) the night away to the Sweet Tarts band.  They put on such a fun show – my body was pretty sore from dancing but it was so much fun so it was worth it!  Saturday I slept in until 9:30am and it felt great!  Then we headed to mall where I was on a mission to find a sun hat for when we go to the EAA show this week.  This excursion actually took pretty much out of me so I was happy to be able to get in a much needed nap before we headed to the Zoo for my dad’s work picnic. 

This was quite an experience to say the least.  The event began at 6pm and the Zoo was open just for the employee’s & their families.  We had free reign of the Zoo (so to speak) until 10pm and access to the shows and exhibits.  There were also vendors set up where we were able to sample various snacks, meals & desserts throughout the night.  It was so much fun!  Ed & I were pleasantly surprised and we’re looking forward to next year!  Sunday we went and saw Captain America (which was great!) and cannot WAIT until The Avengers comes out next May.  Even though I was still pretty tired, I managed to get through the movie and grocery shopping before I needed to take another nap!  Even though I felt worse as the afternoon went on, I sucked it up and headed to the gym where I managed to get through a 30-minute cardio workout and then cooled off in the pool. 

The rest of the night I was on the couch relaxing and getting ready for the week reflecting on what was another fantastic weekend!  I can’t believe we are entering the last week of July – Summer is almost over L  There is still so much that I want to do before school starts – I hope I can get it all in!

Hope everyone’s week is off to a good start!

Till next time…
