The first thing we wanted to hit was a kayak paddle down one of the rivers that ended in a street fair, Roger Street Days. Well, Maeve lived up to her sleeplessness as usual and we didn't get to bed until very late Friday night. It did mean that we slept in a bit Saturday morning...so we missed the paddle. We decided that was OK and took a bike ride to Manitowoc. Had some ice cream sodas and treats from one of the oldest shops in town. The towns boast that they are the originators of the 'sundae.' I can't confirm or deny this, but at least every ice cream shop in town did sundaes really well. We biked back to Two Rivers in pursuit of Roger Street Days. The advertisements promised music, dancing, food, beer....the usual fare. Well, when we finally stumbled upon it, all I could think to myself was that I have seen more people show up for a blood drive. It was a really sad sight to see a few families camped under a couple tents eating their hot dogs and music playing from a boom box. We almost sat down out of pity, but instead decided to go hang out at the beach.
Maeve as usual had a great time in the water, despite it being pretty cold. That girl is a 'Sconie after all. If you close your eyes and imagine salt in the air, you could almost convince yourself that Lake Michigan is an ocean. You can't see the other side and the wind kicked up the water so at one point decent size waves were rolling in. Maeve did cuddle up for some warmth when she was done playing.
On Sunday we spent some time at Kohler-Andre State Park. It's beautiful there and we'll definitely have to go again when we have some more time. The park is just south of Sheybogan, again on the shore of Lake Michigan. Lots to see, beautiful landscapes and a little more fun playing in the surf.
Until the next post! Goodnight Madison!

Sorry to have to post something about my self instead of our wicked cute kid. Unfortunately, I need to beat my father and brother (and any other random naysayers) to point this out. If you look at my hair in pic #1, you can see what my somewhat near future holds. At least I am comfortable shaving it all off "up there".
OK, now back to your regularly scheduled adulation.
