We arrived!
Claire promptly had to show us that she had learned to ride her bike without training wheels!
They are adopting a puppy and getting ready.
His name is Kobi. From the Japanese word Yorokobi,
which means Joy! What JOY this puppy would soon be!
Center of this weekend is a fishing tournament for walleye. They say the Mercury National fishing tournament is like the Daytona 500 of walleye fishing tournaments! About 300 2-man boats are on Lake Winnebago for this thing! Have to admit I know nothing about fishing and I don't even know what a walleye looks like. So I looked it up. It is also called a yellow pike and is native to Canada and the northern states. Fond du lac has lots of fishing events, so it's rather ironic that our son-in-law dislikes fish - and that is putting it mildly!
As we were driving there, we saw a fire engine so we pulled off to the side of the road. Although the lights were flashing, the siren wasn't going and it sure wasn't zooming down the road. Curious thing...
It ended up that it was just the beginning of a procession for a parade!
After they passed (which took quite a while!), Adam made a right hand turn to go to the park. But we got stopped again, but this time because the parade was coming around on the other side. Adam said he would park the car after the parade finished and told us to go on to the festival. We got to the street just as the parade was passing by again!
Just a little bit NOISY!
Hanna was painting faces.
Adam found us and we went on to see what else there was.
Jill stayed home to finish getting ready for our trip to Door County the next day. Tomorrow was the beginning of our vacation!
