Thanks to Brett for grilling burger, corn, and potato's!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHB4GEIscuKcHv_bENkejHAhK4Rl8wgHyg3yIrDDajWGJAaBsjq-4IJV0H76gAbqHgmWky8wVfKcr2ikky-us7r4KSnS_oVkVvMBIAUOf4QzktJCQhJDpPOsvSb9VXLhyphenhyphenozYeK02X3xKk/s1600-h/P9052000.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It was the opening day and it ended up being quite a bit busier than I thought, but we still had a fun time. <br /><br />We started our day with a tour through the birthing barn. We didn't actually see any animals being born, but a pig had just had her piglets and Bryekin was able to pet a baby chick and a baby miniature horse.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCQw0BoDiffh2Rz91Q-n-qDfK4UN6Jm_jgrPYsiDAcskdlqZEu7oipgN1pk-CB0UKR5e6VVnm417-rEbhgjwyJqdYKxvHOXtSjx4PwI2jEND7HpiolsxXQ4oe2Fd8po3JFsoAvfeWJXw/s1600-h/P8271938.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCQw0BoDiffh2Rz91Q-n-qDfK4UN6Jm_jgrPYsiDAcskdlqZEu7oipgN1pk-CB0UKR5e6VVnm417-rEbhgjwyJqdYKxvHOXtSjx4PwI2jEND7HpiolsxXQ4oe2Fd8po3JFsoAvfeWJXw/s320/P8271938.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377365143887986050" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1dYApHuYJetCPccBbFmdD3W_1fosYHFAyrm3HEW0gebaWlqL9FC1Orjyq4TCRSS50Zjz8qmOuzgOHhEIvaaUTv7WWmJc9UCaFoiOn-XXP0tLJgdyN6tX7Z40dl8jOp0ceZpDH0xNSvhg/s1600-h/P8271939.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1dYApHuYJetCPccBbFmdD3W_1fosYHFAyrm3HEW0gebaWlqL9FC1Orjyq4TCRSS50Zjz8qmOuzgOHhEIvaaUTv7WWmJc9UCaFoiOn-XXP0tLJgdyN6tX7Z40dl8jOp0ceZpDH0xNSvhg/s320/P8271939.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377365141127069698" /></a><br /><br />After that we tooled around in the area and checked out some of the vendor booths, grabbed a beer and some food. With soooo many food options, it was hard to choose a snack, but I of course decided on the deep fried pickles!! They are soooo AWESOME, I had to have then. Brent and Bryekin even tried them and liked them too!! Bryekin's meal consisted of some chicken strips and fries, and Brent decided on the footlong corndog!! Then we all shared some cookies. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZ5HqCK2QOHM-zGPvjnkb3uOtmIBmbo2EqqPfTT0uixUE_wACVmI00x6iYidMDQ6U-HRHv5fxrqyioFNJW5FAqh9DVvhn3XzTiPfb1xsquKIjOW1z6biWzs_77PjDyWqA4ByHwq-WrXQ/s1600-h/P8271942.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKZ5HqCK2QOHM-zGPvjnkb3uOtmIBmbo2EqqPfTT0uixUE_wACVmI00x6iYidMDQ6U-HRHv5fxrqyioFNJW5FAqh9DVvhn3XzTiPfb1xsquKIjOW1z6biWzs_77PjDyWqA4ByHwq-WrXQ/s320/P8271942.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377365764094458706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1DqLm6lNSx7KS_KX39BgrS4siSbKHMpfxf636OMurI1UJedRoHLGlrYfLgoTrSyJwaACn_LVogoGh29cCFJ25TgzDAtYzFmk3w9BADjHDo5CisyNyqc7yntbSmzOEdrS2xRWXx15tk4/s1600-h/P8271977.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_1DqLm6lNSx7KS_KX39BgrS4siSbKHMpfxf636OMurI1UJedRoHLGlrYfLgoTrSyJwaACn_LVogoGh29cCFJ25TgzDAtYzFmk3w9BADjHDo5CisyNyqc7yntbSmzOEdrS2xRWXx15tk4/s320/P8271977.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377365759899608274" /></a><br /><br />We stopped and played with some lego, large lego!!!

It seems WAY longer than two years ago, but that is a good thing, we have had soooo many things go on since we've been married and the very best of all of them was BRYEKIN!!! <br /><br />It is crazy to think about how things were two years ago. There were family/friendships that have since unfortunately grown apart, but then there are those friendships that have been created and some that have grown stronger!! Those are the things to truly be thankful for. And of course, little Bryekin, the best thing that has happened to both of us, EVER!!<br /><br />When Brent got home this morning, he brought in roses and a card! What a great start to the day! I Love You Bunny!!<br /><br />Here are some pictures from that day:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ78yEC6_Mi3-FqwPW9AZM8it6m7kASE_7j0baN5FzuBPHkuqRvGNadQXEUgJ39f07szQIPo7vE7zss49Z5DXwy27Hcyvd4LLki4F2VploPDGpa0H3W-ww4VlVO8VpIg_3I5hK4ZiPQHE/s1600-h/UEP%2520(118)%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ78yEC6_Mi3-FqwPW9AZM8it6m7kASE_7j0baN5FzuBPHkuqRvGNadQXEUgJ39f07szQIPo7vE7zss49Z5DXwy27Hcyvd4LLki4F2VploPDGpa0H3W-ww4VlVO8VpIg_3I5hK4ZiPQHE/s320/UEP%2520(118)%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376661074454644018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-Gti1LLI_wY4R1OZFamb4iwUKsIDIJy2m-sH9yXDJgcFpPCnDKRDtQ68S8wi69lDqw68kGThBJv9aZfossU3IjANh-Rp-ke8WtKtOsbBypbze8RKb9yvihPHHZM5hjZGikwDxyvPG94/s1600-h/UEP%2520241.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy-Gti1LLI_wY4R1OZFamb4iwUKsIDIJy2m-sH9yXDJgcFpPCnDKRDtQ68S8wi69lDqw68kGThBJv9aZfossU3IjANh-Rp-ke8WtKtOsbBypbze8RKb9yvihPHHZM5hjZGikwDxyvPG94/s320/UEP%2520241.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376661063882125682" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsLu7f7ALlMk3XcDL_1cJpTB-uzJN28Ue6bWrAsu3l7jrbRGcU1PfuGJUx1iEoNvW7hk0uS8-Qm6KstNPzxgXsFYWCmiXleH-iIMr93wdG-tP8xOpbOt9OxUYYnQgU2tzBZ7gWkcAZQmw/s1600-h/UEP%2520304.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsLu7f7ALlMk3XcDL_1cJpTB-uzJN28Ue6bWrAsu3l7jrbRGcU1PfuGJUx1iEoNvW7hk0uS8-Qm6KstNPzxgXsFYWCmiXleH-iIMr93wdG-tP8xOpbOt9OxUYYnQgU2tzBZ7gWkcAZQmw/s320/UEP%2520304.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376661061699024866" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQCgh-JJg3IPB1xCZ2Gn75laMS-nEUeXI-hbDjlp0pPOEOjWCmWX8NEBlOpFG4cnFcg9R_bHNf2WMI6Zm4oKbraDbPGpZ_4nIRUswVjm5MoYxImjmd-xaECLU42wpFBswF5_SqZR5Nh5s/s1600-h/UEP%2520308.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQCgh-JJg3IPB1xCZ2Gn75laMS-nEUeXI-hbDjlp0pPOEOjWCmWX8NEBlOpFG4cnFcg9R_bHNf2WMI6Zm4oKbraDbPGpZ_4nIRUswVjm5MoYxImjmd-xaECLU42wpFBswF5_SqZR5Nh5s/s320/UEP%2520308.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376661052736738706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VtiCnfIvrEbNF4nRyJgJxpLB_H8-AeOR_mRK4D29iXR-qGmmt0vuSuefRgxup1oUMFWTjv9EqrarKHyUAvTb6SKmMS0byxMfJZ7swb62OFW8A0h8MI-PUYRMMG20lRlNaKgZ6_E6xlI/s1600-h/UEP%2520335.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VtiCnfIvrEbNF4nRyJgJxpLB_H8-AeOR_mRK4D29iXR-qGmmt0vuSuefRgxup1oUMFWTjv9EqrarKHyUAvTb6SKmMS0byxMfJZ7swb62OFW8A0h8MI-PUYRMMG20lRlNaKgZ6_E6xlI/s320/UEP%2520335.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376661048641976066" /></a>The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165159150058396771.post-52724913388109566892009-08-31T17:38:00.004-05:002009-08-31T17:53:29.579-05:00SAMmy's Family Funtastic EventYesterday from 430-730 p.m., the <a href="http://www.strengthamongmomsministry.com/">SAMmy's</a> Family Funtastic Event was held at Harvestime Church in Eau Claire. There were a bunch of carnival games for the kids, a couple of bounce houses, and <a href="http://www.splattersisters.com/">The Splatter Sister's</a> performed a concert. Bryekin also had some chocolate milk, an ear of corn on the cob and part of a hot dog for an early dinner.<br /><br />Our kickoff brunch is on September 16 and I can't wait. There is child care provided also on site!

When he picked out his prize, he felt the need to throw that right into the hole also! The first prize he picked out of a whole bucket of prizes was a yellow happy face keychain. From there on out, each time he won a prize he picked the same ole' happy face keychain. By the end of the day, he was the owner of four different colored happy face coin keychains. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6Q1OGVwFiGg6qlxc1NtaZr6BVfs_ELkAxPQaFY7Nh8_tXDiMj-cG3isfLZX6N0gZNCiqaoeaf62pbssEvSjLaXVso4aKfC52k3TlzLbdZqrTbW5-2H_D8z39_QK_NwG8k4shvehH-Vo/s1600-h/IMG00219.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx6Q1OGVwFiGg6qlxc1NtaZr6BVfs_ELkAxPQaFY7Nh8_tXDiMj-cG3isfLZX6N0gZNCiqaoeaf62pbssEvSjLaXVso4aKfC52k3TlzLbdZqrTbW5-2H_D8z39_QK_NwG8k4shvehH-Vo/s320/IMG00219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376261295541676034" /></a><br />The Splatter Sisters started their concert with the name song, you know...Bryekin Bryekin Bo Breykin Banana Fannah, etc. Boo loved the music and had a good time dancing along.

In a nutshell we handled a massive amount of phone calls, handled all the radio traffic for several agencies, and made tons of phone calls to people who needed to be contacted in reference to the event. Although our shift ends at 11:00 p.m., we were so super busy that we couldn't just leave a mess for our relief, so by the time we were done sorting everything out, it was 11:45 p.m. What a day!!<br /><br />Basically this event was one of a kind which has NEVER happened in Menomonie and something of this nature will probably not happen again for hopefully a long time. It was an event that as a dispatcher you don't exactly think you'll ever handle, especially in Menomonie. It was very nice of those of you who called, emailed, texted, etc, to ask about how I (and Ryan) were doing. It is nice to know that there are friends, family, firefighters, and officers who care enough and are concerned and wanted to let us know that we did a good job. Although the firefighters and officers are our co-workers in a different sort of way, it was really nice to hear from them since we never heard from our own (unless you misspell a word of course.) It definitely makes me aware of who is there for you as a co-worker and who is not.<br /><br />Thank you to those who are awesome co-workers and to those who provide EMS and police services day to day. We work in a thank-less job and it is nice to know that most of us support each other!!The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165159150058396771.post-20738788420951668752009-08-25T22:10:00.006-05:002009-08-25T22:29:36.756-05:00Bryekin's WeekendWhat did Bryekin do while we were busy this weekend?

Brent played on the Sheriff's Department team and after losing their first two games in a row, they were out due to the double elimination. <br /><br />My friend Courtney was working a day shift at Stout and since "nothing goes on at Stout" especially on a Saturday, she came with me to watch the games for a bit. We cheered on the MPD team which also fell to the double elimination early, so then it was on to the Menomonie FD team. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABo05MxfDPnTgdGrlsSrYnMyU75OFdIaGqBKU1WNSGHfBhnh4s7rg4d_yiEjiwjbp7inbnHZYkx4p6DEVCBVWt0UXNDKyEx2fDq6ERfgNdvdacT2sCMudbwqZke0EqGIGETyEDSR_6RM/s1600-h/bbq.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiABo05MxfDPnTgdGrlsSrYnMyU75OFdIaGqBKU1WNSGHfBhnh4s7rg4d_yiEjiwjbp7inbnHZYkx4p6DEVCBVWt0UXNDKyEx2fDq6ERfgNdvdacT2sCMudbwqZke0EqGIGETyEDSR_6RM/s320/bbq.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374069173538030178" /></a><br />Jon was the main man on the brat grill.

We usually go to Hayward each year around Labor Day weekend (our anniversary/my b-day), but since we both work this Labor day and my birthday doesn't fall til the next weeekend, we decided to go now!! <br />I took Bryekin to Meghan's around 1230pm and when I got back Brent was all ready to go. He had to work til 6 that morning so he grabbed a few zzzz's before we left!! We got to Barron and I realized I left my purse at home (DUH)!!! Brent was willing to turn around, but I thought since I had my handy dandy Blackberry (in case Boo needed me) and Brent was with me, what more did I need, so I told him I'd be fine and we should keep going. Boy was I wrong!!! Part of my life is in that dang purse; meds, money, drivers license, lip balm, etc. So Kelly brought it up for me the next day!! (Thanks again Kel!!)<br /><br />Anyways, we arrived in Hayward and went tubing down the Namekagon River (like always.) It was about 85 degrees out and sunny, so it was perfect!! The river was quite low, but we made it through. We were coming up to the second bridge which is where you get out when we realized we were out of beer!! Thank goodness we only had a few hundred feet left of floating, lol!<br /><br />We went and checked in at our hotel room at the <a href="http://www.lcocasino.com">LCO Casino</a> and spiffied up for dinner. We went to <a href="http://www.famousdaves.com/Hayward">Famous Daves</a> and ate outside!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkp85jw-MIjkklkO11zvjDCgQ5d96-uNJWQ7dJVDXErzNjAwymYOi1y5j_MsN-9muONbUSMgpZmJCy3z7leWpIb2l7hd9bfZuenvoySZERJfPVCOoCsfwGdnVvVCPBK3JgvxdTE7oDkU/s1600-h/IMG00162.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXkp85jw-MIjkklkO11zvjDCgQ5d96-uNJWQ7dJVDXErzNjAwymYOi1y5j_MsN-9muONbUSMgpZmJCy3z7leWpIb2l7hd9bfZuenvoySZERJfPVCOoCsfwGdnVvVCPBK3JgvxdTE7oDkU/s320/IMG00162.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370019360285801906" /></a><br /><br />Later in the evening we hit up the casino and played our favorite slots.

We hit the trails and ended up riding 62 miles! It was an absolute BLAST!!!!

They started a program for youngsters to come in and make sure that parents are properly cleaning their teeth and that the teeth are coming in fine. Bryekin was good to go.

She ended up in labor for about 9 hours with 1 hour or so of pushing and then Brody Haiden Kohnke was born at 441 am on 8/5/09. He was 6 lb 11oz and was 20 1/4 inches long!!!<br /><br />Below is Brett "patiently" waiting in Jen's room.

I saw an advertisement in the paper for the "Eau Claire County Junior Fair," so I thought we would take a swing in and see what is was all about. Holy man was I impressed!!!<br /><br />There were cows, pigs, lambs, goats, horses, miniature horses, a baby camel, a lama, roosters, rabbits, etc, all which are right up Bryekin's alley!! A teacher of mine from high school was there and she is in charge of the fair, so she got Bryekin up close and personal with a calf!! He was able to pet her and it even moo'd, a sound that Bryekin thinks every animal makes!! Also, for a nominal fee of $.25, we went into the petting zoo and petted goats, a llama, a rooster and a bunny!!<br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivEIcOfKm2zBmCO8Fef___43f7AfespWqkX7M63P8y2nxKKB8Msvv6EdIL68KHmyAhsXKNji9gkFIt7UnDXEqoYu6H7QSZbct5Lo1960gnO4sju0EHFCvjbuRsDhaiDiGbLjXH5bld1d0/s1600-h/IMG00141.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivEIcOfKm2zBmCO8Fef___43f7AfespWqkX7M63P8y2nxKKB8Msvv6EdIL68KHmyAhsXKNji9gkFIt7UnDXEqoYu6H7QSZbct5Lo1960gnO4sju0EHFCvjbuRsDhaiDiGbLjXH5bld1d0/s320/IMG00141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365505013023786578" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRn0JIJ7YBzOrHbxIj72r81X97IkfQqMt7u4P1wYFJ0HD7G5fYPv3ozVfH4LJdt_DFxpK1MAuXDcc9CYdWbiWwsUHCJorOb3UYcefahqzzs1TxMQkL7WTMgRBtZZR1EkG0mvl1mzUQOM/s1600-h/IMG00140.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVRn0JIJ7YBzOrHbxIj72r81X97IkfQqMt7u4P1wYFJ0HD7G5fYPv3ozVfH4LJdt_DFxpK1MAuXDcc9CYdWbiWwsUHCJorOb3UYcefahqzzs1TxMQkL7WTMgRBtZZR1EkG0mvl1mzUQOM/s320/IMG00140.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365505007940361010" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Nf-ZppYfD1rIYYmMm4xZ4_zS0Au04eks-NjIYfuFo8tGhjqDTDsHdfkgwTQoTBdBdV4_jbsNZ7fOvVjhia-6bHUtMt2XMz5FEF5nh6KCCYw9id5tXgAjIVLzaF6MsrOR_frw-saseM8/s1600-h/IMG00139.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Nf-ZppYfD1rIYYmMm4xZ4_zS0Au04eks-NjIYfuFo8tGhjqDTDsHdfkgwTQoTBdBdV4_jbsNZ7fOvVjhia-6bHUtMt2XMz5FEF5nh6KCCYw9id5tXgAjIVLzaF6MsrOR_frw-saseM8/s320/IMG00139.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365505004492252226" /></a><br /><br />They had a mini kids carnival where Bryekin won some cool prizes like crayons, a coloring book, a capsule that you put in water and it turns into a spongy crab, stickers, and a sucker. Below is a pic of the ball toss game where Bryekin got all three balls in the hole, this is how he won his box of crayons!!

How can one be in Eau Claire and not stop there??<br /><br />After we got home we hung out with dad for awhile and then got ready for Chase's wedding reception!! Donna looked AMAZING as the mother of the groom and Paul didn't look bad in his tux either. Little Miss Mya, Donna's granddaughter, was a hit out on the dance floor and during her break she even shared her marshmallows with Bryekin!

The sidewalks are lined with vendors who have the freshest of fresh veggies and fruits. I usually have to limit myself to $20 or I would definitely be BROKE!!<br /><br />This week I decided to get a bag of spinach. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it, but I bought it anyways. Maybe I'll make lasagna or manicotti and chop up some spinach to add in? I have never cooked with spinach so this may be interesting.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2PE4pYJerUpvUZtv0QaR_FYuQ7YfkRWal5SptEj4eIBprOLBumCPs-KIy-KvxO8JtVacbVfRusbblqpW3HiVYOqfTu7UNIppmlsrZ577KkwDs-3iZHH25laTnw8TlJGg2CBXWfXgMYE/s1600-h/IMG00137.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2PE4pYJerUpvUZtv0QaR_FYuQ7YfkRWal5SptEj4eIBprOLBumCPs-KIy-KvxO8JtVacbVfRusbblqpW3HiVYOqfTu7UNIppmlsrZ577KkwDs-3iZHH25laTnw8TlJGg2CBXWfXgMYE/s320/IMG00137.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364000999667548450" /></a><br /><br />Radishes, carrots and zucchini are usually an every week item (while in season) and RASPBERRIES, oh my, they are the BEST!!!<br /><br />Who has heard of fingerlings?? They are by far the best kind of potato there is. They aren't in season very long, so while they are available, I stock up. One would think that you would get sick of potato's, but not these!! I usually either throw them in foil with butter and garlic (an excessive amount of garlic I might add) and throw them on the grill. Or...now that Ziploc has those new steamer bags, I throw them in a bag with the butter and garlic, zap for 5 minutes, and voila, yummy fingerlings!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiljQAPWmBbmY3t_uDyVCTSecuU4r4wRhRmuM_xN6JlHjx7DdgoRKuhE65dXQBrJ_hLIGGfNfIzgjUHjgq-5wpyHbmrZzBqOxKa13yHLenIKcviAYWxBa-GRFdZ-eut28F3ZGE-udkKPCA/s1600-h/IMG00136.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiljQAPWmBbmY3t_uDyVCTSecuU4r4wRhRmuM_xN6JlHjx7DdgoRKuhE65dXQBrJ_hLIGGfNfIzgjUHjgq-5wpyHbmrZzBqOxKa13yHLenIKcviAYWxBa-GRFdZ-eut28F3ZGE-udkKPCA/s320/IMG00136.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364002953036710706" /></a><br /><br />I usually stop on my way to work and if Bryekin goes to Meghan's, we stop before he goes there.

Lee is a co-worker of ours and he was certainly enjoying himself. He was able to convince their family friend to take a ride on the "Big Sling" with him. While he was waiting in line, the ride broke down. After his turn was done, the ride broke down again, this time for the rest of the weekend. Lee was hilarious and it looked like he enjoyed his ride!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUZSstWdaQqFl2hSbFx_AXg5OslenimyWVrpl4LUkKc5cZgg1Qbhs7uYbgeiU4dtXMZlBIpLzRHZL0RjgaVetUjvbnOanc881Y-yukQ6JoRNfaYHi3mhlsqa2Xrl3TDrMOEGN54DUqOA/s1600-h/IMG00116.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363721957999572802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUZSstWdaQqFl2hSbFx_AXg5OslenimyWVrpl4LUkKc5cZgg1Qbhs7uYbgeiU4dtXMZlBIpLzRHZL0RjgaVetUjvbnOanc881Y-yukQ6JoRNfaYHi3mhlsqa2Xrl3TDrMOEGN54DUqOA/s320/IMG00116.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKuBURAHW72H95P3wskhpc_BUsdBNCzrWjtAsWfLME77vsOmzd7hspwbxKAzZWcuOPF1dVcRVEObdkmAcxGA29R763cSBAibapwvLF81YZMLZIVxoFGNIh0u7exFmLULW389Ua9R3yMo/s1600-h/IMG00118.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363721948718858370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEKuBURAHW72H95P3wskhpc_BUsdBNCzrWjtAsWfLME77vsOmzd7hspwbxKAzZWcuOPF1dVcRVEObdkmAcxGA29R763cSBAibapwvLF81YZMLZIVxoFGNIh0u7exFmLULW389Ua9R3yMo/s320/IMG00118.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg1S9nXzd8JEBwek76YMtbU-GCnxDsHYXI0jyx5oGli0rPh0JvPr963nDSE-nZxxmw9dleDrcyjRKsvsYDoapLuRcADNatIYHNlQqd_cxL7CqmQtan9Do8sfCFaBuZxYkJ2APFxuGUGE/s1600-h/IMG00117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363721933089287010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLg1S9nXzd8JEBwek76YMtbU-GCnxDsHYXI0jyx5oGli0rPh0JvPr963nDSE-nZxxmw9dleDrcyjRKsvsYDoapLuRcADNatIYHNlQqd_cxL7CqmQtan9Do8sfCFaBuZxYkJ2APFxuGUGE/s320/IMG00117.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-jjG3uyYSyr7XKOSuoibFmmcjBievRYRbCzexmANEuPpRK1lRSPmmKpzUk2bjo6HCdiw0_RctlNZZN9aarmLfVgix4T41oMxG5Tsc92sgZTZ3VnfBHTZ-HB17FSrcMlKSElMzZMFmN4/s1600-h/IMG00109.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363993968912442946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 236px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx-jjG3uyYSyr7XKOSuoibFmmcjBievRYRbCzexmANEuPpRK1lRSPmmKpzUk2bjo6HCdiw0_RctlNZZN9aarmLfVgix4T41oMxG5Tsc92sgZTZ3VnfBHTZ-HB17FSrcMlKSElMzZMFmN4/s320/IMG00109.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />If you can't tell, this is Tim McGraw's profile, blk cowboy hat and all.<br /><br />And, here is what Bryekin did this weekend!!

The week was filled with golfing, boating, swimming, tubing, playing in the sand, grilling out, and turtle races!!<br /><br />After picking up Molly, Ned, and Donnie at the airport Sunday night, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Waterpark in Elk River, MN (awesome place!!) The next morning we played at the waterpark before making the trek north, Molly and I in one car and the boys in the other. <br /><br />Our cabin was wonderful...three bedrooms, three baths, a kitchen, large living room, and a large deck and picnic table!! Not to mention all with a view of Gull lake!!<br /><br />We grilled out most of the week; fajitas, tenderloin, brats, etc along with all the trimmings.

Normally we would go up for two separate long weekends, but this time we are going for the long haul!! Grandpa and Grandma Pogrant scored us an awesome 3 bedroom/3 bathroom cabin with a kitchen and all. Each of us mini family's are responsible for one night of dinner (for the Leach's, we are doing fajitas!!) Then I'm sure we will hit up <a href="http://www.raffertyspizza.com/nisswa.html">Rafferty's</a>, Nisswa's amazing pizza joint, and perhaps maybe <a href="http://www.quarterdeckresort.com/eatery/index.html">Quarterdeck</a>. Otherwise I am bringing with the <a href="http://www.pieironusa.com/">"Pudgie Pie Maker."</a> With Ned being from Texas, he hasn't experienced some "up north" things, so I thought that would be fun!! It was fun for me when Ned took us to the BBQ shack when were in Ft. Worth, so I'm giving him a taste of Wisco/Minn.<br /><br /><br /><br />On Sunday we are going to head to Woodbury and stop at <a href="http://www.kidshairinc.com/home.html">Kid's Hair</a> to see if they have any openings for Bryekin's first haircut. I didn't make an appointment because I though if they had an opening then it was meant to be and if they don't have an opening then I shouldn't get it cut yet!!<br />Our reservations for Sunday night are at the <a href="http://www.hiexpress.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hotel/otsmn?rpb=hotel&crUrl=/h/d/ex/1/en/hotelsearchresults">Holiday Inn in Elk River, MN.</a> We are picking up Molly, Ned and Donnie from the Minneapolis/St.Paul airport around 8pm, so we thought instead of driving back to Wisco we would get a hotel on the way to Nisswa!! They have an indoor water park, so Brent, Boo and I may head right over after Woodbury and play in the water for a bit. We thought we'd take the boys down to the water park on Monday morning before we head north too!! Since we are going to be right off from 494, I promised Brent <a href="http://www.donpablos.com/">Don Pablo's</a>!!! Our favorite restaurant which we rarely get to go to since the one in Woodbury shut down.<br /><br />I think we are all very ready for a week away without work or dumb drama!!

He is such a boy. This last weekend he had the pleasure of spending time at G & G P's. Bryekin originally got to go on a lawnmower ride and then Grandma came to play and Bryekin only wanted to ride on the mower, poor Grandma!! I'm sure they had plenty of other play time together. After the lawn was mowed, Grandma and Boo washed up the mower.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdkyNVkqyJ5AuLYYPw8IG1FlGCFZTztzfjdAoszzmrNgDKMKsV9SaG55B-S1yceqAlog-crA0CiVyBhvjfAlOtL7jcXUwc_OOg9PdKAR0SETdTasQaCXWzTgrB2T8r8EnPMgSgHbPz4hE/s1600-h/IMG_1970.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Hopefully soon I will put the video on here!! He is soooo funny. <br /><br />Hopefully G & G will remember to give Boo his toothbrush, so he can brush his "TEEFERS." He is very good at it already and prefers to do it himself, although he is also helped out by mom and dad for those hard to reach places, especially when he has the wrong end in his mouth.<br />Have a good weekend!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3HdEbbr-IopGBX9O5pR17V92UBYUSwaqJECdlm8TvQuGCYdwtH-7XNIOx_yJtDdhXxtYMaVmH7YTfT4kk1Rj7c6U6J_Zor-f_CMatEv3wUzTual1I1yGc3WGTBqhpV5UbPNA2Q7B0nA/s1600-h/brush+teeth.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ3HdEbbr-IopGBX9O5pR17V92UBYUSwaqJECdlm8TvQuGCYdwtH-7XNIOx_yJtDdhXxtYMaVmH7YTfT4kk1Rj7c6U6J_Zor-f_CMatEv3wUzTual1I1yGc3WGTBqhpV5UbPNA2Q7B0nA/s320/brush+teeth.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351851459986912802" /></a>The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165159150058396771.post-50183714809730276252009-06-22T22:34:00.004-05:002009-06-22T22:50:11.104-05:00FlowersOriginally my post was going to be about how some people choose to make the most ridiculous, selfish, immature, irresponsible, etc. decisions, but instead, Look what I have!!!

The doctor said to watch Bryekin 7-10 days after the injection because there are side effects such as rashes and fevers. Boy was he right. Bryekin has always done so well with all his shots, but he ended up with a slight rash which is mostly gone now, but he has had a fever for a few days now and even ended up with the runny nose/cough thing. That means he doesn't feel up to par and when he doesn't feel up to par, he doesn't sleep real well. Actually, not well AT ALL!!! Last night we were up for about 5 hours throughout the night, but we were able to watch the storms that came through which was actually kind of cool. The only non-cool part about it was that due to all the rain, the sprinkler installer people rescheduled!!!!<br /><br />Last Sunday, Grandpa and Grandma P, Bryekin and I went for a boat ride out on Tainter Lake. It was nice to get out on that lake before it turned into the green slime. It was already starting to turn, so that will probably be our only time out there this year. Lake Wissota/Gull Lake here we come!!! Someone had a little too much excitement and decided to snooze.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwpwO3-vv17Mi6mKTAJ7xNR_N8j1znZEVw-k4Ir1xBtg5NwBidebQWNBVRmmU_ZcfzkElAInGhk0nC8S0Sg1X-Q7Xk0QI5N6PzAqMuEjZUmGD6PCvSOMDGJcN8ksawu1xkIfsDZpZz-I/s1600-h/IMG00046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwpwO3-vv17Mi6mKTAJ7xNR_N8j1znZEVw-k4Ir1xBtg5NwBidebQWNBVRmmU_ZcfzkElAInGhk0nC8S0Sg1X-Q7Xk0QI5N6PzAqMuEjZUmGD6PCvSOMDGJcN8ksawu1xkIfsDZpZz-I/s320/IMG00046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348858755425992898" /></a><br /><br />We are looking forward to a wonderful weekend, no working for me!!!! <br />Happy Father's Day to my daddio and to Bryekin's daddy!!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC4lct2QdDp_R769RKnhBGddR1Kzd-vJKz3rwjWvfEic8XiCBnqou0xFe1WE-Ioc5Xvd76MEG_bbAMvzUjIJwIEayQZPcvz_pS2Jn5fE0pWZDzB4NFuEeJhR_fvz7iut-zKZaswzB1O6M/s1600-h/IMG00050.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC4lct2QdDp_R769RKnhBGddR1Kzd-vJKz3rwjWvfEic8XiCBnqou0xFe1WE-Ioc5Xvd76MEG_bbAMvzUjIJwIEayQZPcvz_pS2Jn5fE0pWZDzB4NFuEeJhR_fvz7iut-zKZaswzB1O6M/s320/IMG00050.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348859127931037234" /></a>The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165159150058396771.post-19183666423568459762009-06-13T18:42:00.002-05:002009-06-13T19:59:59.658-05:00Rain, Rain Go Away...Of course when you have days off that you are looking forward to, it rains!! So, we made the best of it and go in some SUPER shopping and I even got to have an hour and a half massage on Wednesday!!!<br /><br />SHOPPING!!! Something I love, but also something that I hate when it involves trying on clothes, boo hiss!!! However, this experience was a bit different!!! I LOVE this shopping trip, trying clothes on and all. <br />Here's the story... On Thursday, Bryekin and I went and picked up <a href="http://www.buffalowildwings.com">Buffalo Wild Wings</a> to bring to Grandma Sherry as she was working at the thrift sale all morning. The thrift sale was originally last Saturday, but of course it was raining, so the turnout was really bad. So, they decided to keep everything out and hold the sale again on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I brought some boxes of clothes of mine and Brent's over as well as my popazan and some of it sold!! Brent and I actually bought a new sink and counter top that Becky (my mom's neighbor) was selling as she just replaced all of her appliances and basically re-decorated her kitchen which was only a couple years old!! Ok, back on track...so after the thrift sale was closed for the day, my mom, Boo and I ran out to <a href="http://www.kohls.com">Kohls</a> because I got the additional 30% your entire purchase coupon on my Kohls catalog. Now 30%, that is a big deal. I needed to find a new swim suit for me for Grandview, a gift for my dad for Father's Day, and I always hit up the clearance racks for some good deals!! <br />Here is my finds:<br />Swim Bottoms- $34.00, on sale for $19.99<br />Swimsuit- $88.00, on sale for $43.99<br />Khaki shorts- $36.00, on sale for $19.99<br />Chaps blk jeans- $55.00, on clearance for $11.00<br />Shoes for Bryekin- $11.99, on clearance for $11.99<br />6 puzzles- $4.99, on sale for $3.49<br />Fisher Price 3D viewer- $15.99, on clearance for $5.99<br />2 Remote Control Race Cars- $39.99, on clearance at 90% off for $3.99<br />Picture Frame- $19.99, on clearance for $5.99<br />Thermometer- $29.99, on clearance for $8.99<br />Serving Platter- $29.99, on clearance for $8.99<br />3 Vanity Fair Undies- $8.50, on clearance for $1.70<br />Olga and Bali Bras- $32.00, on clearance for $9.60.<br />Several more odds and ends were purchased also for a total of $333.43. WAIT!!! Minus my 30% discount and the grand total was...drumroll....$246.24, for a savings of $543.46, whoo whoo!!! <br /><br />I also don't think I've mentioned yet that I have become obsessed with "Double Coupon Week" at <a href="http://www.kmart.com">KMART</a>. This occurs about once every few months. Check out a few of these deals:<br />Huggies Bath Wash- $3.34, $1.50 coupon, doubled = $3.00, end cost was $.34.<br />Huggies Wipes- $2.99, $1.50 coupon, doubled = $3.00, end cost FREE!<br />Huggies Overnight Diapers- $9.99, $2.00 coupon, doubled = $4.00, end cost $5.99.<br />Huggies Little Swimmers- $7.99, $2.00 coupon, doubles = $4.00, end cost $3.99.<br />Plus... if you bought so many Huggies products (which I did) you earned a $14 off a $14 purchase!!! <br />Vitamin Shampoo, $6.99, tag on bottle for "this bottle free," end cost FREE!<br />Ziploc Zip and Steam Bags- $2.00, $.75 coupon, doubled = $1.50, end cost was $.50.<br />Cheerios- $2.00, $1.00 coupon, doubled = $2.00, end cost was FREE!<br />Women's Razors- $4.79, $2.00 coupon, doubled = $4.00, end cost was $.79.<br /><br />You get the drift!!! Brent used to make fun of me for coupon clipping, but ever since I actually showed him the receipt with the totals and savings, he is in awe!! Depending on the situation I even send him to his own check out lane if we are together! Now I have to find something to do with all the money I saved, perhaps buy some ziploc bags!! :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKAquvpGWR3OzInvQI-qnamHbIlLui_Pj6lrEUq0sX3idg9jdWayR5Ig3TOJmcRNxOONzcXR20QmWlfaZwqbX8EMMYrIkKjzGfhixCfAnu_iXIQCKbq6kPt39rnheZ8HP_2iu5Ew2Rhk/s1600-h/IMG00044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglKAquvpGWR3OzInvQI-qnamHbIlLui_Pj6lrEUq0sX3idg9jdWayR5Ig3TOJmcRNxOONzcXR20QmWlfaZwqbX8EMMYrIkKjzGfhixCfAnu_iXIQCKbq6kPt39rnheZ8HP_2iu5Ew2Rhk/s320/IMG00044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346981608608216210" /></a>The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4165159150058396771.post-49175101635070779682009-06-07T21:01:00.004-05:002009-06-07T21:30:36.759-05:00Taste of Eau ClaireToday around noon, Bryekin and I headed to Phoenix Park in Eau Claire to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Pogrant for the "Taste of Eau Claire." <br /><br />There were about 15 booths set up with different restaurants from the Eau Claire area. Each booth had a selection of 4-5 items and they were priced ranging from 1 ticket to around 5 tickets, with each ticket being worth $1. The selections consisted of mini-sized portions (but decent portions) of items from that particular restaurants menu. They had live music playing all day as well in the amphitheater area. I'm not sure of the name of the band we listened to, but they had GreenDay type melodies. Definitely not GreenDay, but decent.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZe2l8KdKb4VpGAMGnE0wYlrCVDqkNdV6AIRvNZ9YfjLUm6R8SkjxvMFZ6QdZl2FPqQBC7UlL-AGskT3n1WtkQANuBZJZ8k9gzg9afvu_Pi6UGFSi5Z4LHceM8yTaNcBzebOrEtTUTvo/s1600-h/IMG00033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeZe2l8KdKb4VpGAMGnE0wYlrCVDqkNdV6AIRvNZ9YfjLUm6R8SkjxvMFZ6QdZl2FPqQBC7UlL-AGskT3n1WtkQANuBZJZ8k9gzg9afvu_Pi6UGFSi5Z4LHceM8yTaNcBzebOrEtTUTvo/s320/IMG00033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344774946107050690" /></a><br /><br />For the food...<br />I hit up Fazoli's for an Italian Lemon Ice and also Whisky Dicks for some teriyaki-garlic chicken wings...oh my goodness, to DIE for!!!! <br /><br />My mom stopped by the Haymarket Grille for a Reuben sandwich and also Shanghai Bistro for a California roll.<br /><br />Bryekin had his own corn dog, but also had bites of all our stuff which he thoroughly enjoyed.<br /><br />My dad enjoyed a soft shell taco from Burrachos and we all shared cheese curds from the Milwaukee Burger Company. I'd have to do another trial, but they may be in competition with Dooley's for the best beer-battered cheese curds!!!<br /><br />It was a little chilly, but not too bad if you were moving around. We tooled around for a bit before and after lunch (my favorite part is people watching, oh my!!!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hRGB41PB0npIdJAnyDnrUbXsmhFUUH25PXA933i-lh6nONun8bkJZb2-Imf9MdhkrAJPbml0Gv72XzzEevUMJ0yv7DHJCl0d6P-pU5RAgU5_kUMIJKNs7fk_RE4YZLJwVr9Zat8qyhM/s1600-h/IMG00032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hRGB41PB0npIdJAnyDnrUbXsmhFUUH25PXA933i-lh6nONun8bkJZb2-Imf9MdhkrAJPbml0Gv72XzzEevUMJ0yv7DHJCl0d6P-pU5RAgU5_kUMIJKNs7fk_RE4YZLJwVr9Zat8qyhM/s320/IMG00032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344778221519482226" /></a><br /><br />Bryekin's favorite thing today was the inflatables. We were going to go in the jumping house, but there were too many big kids in there, so we improvised!!! He LOVED it!!The Leach'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752293230220769228noreply@blogger.com
