Fun Weekend

Hi All,

This weekend was a fun time for both me and John, but we were separated and in 2 different places.  On Friday night John went Up North so he could attend Fish Fry Fest at the Lake of The Torches casino in Lac Du Flambeau.  Our ATV Club had a booth set up there and John and Dewey sat there handing out ATV information.  Captain Sig from the Northwestern Crab boat on the TV show "Deadliest Catch" was there and he was sitting/standing about 15 feet away from the ATV booth.  He was taking pictures with anyone that wanted one (no charge) and John got a a signed picture from him.  When Sig was done with the picture taking, he came over to our booth and chit chatted with John, Dewey, Pat & Sharon.  Dewey won a boat paddle from the Leinenkugels drawing and Sig then signed it.  Here is a picture of him & Dewey:

Captain Sig told them after he was done there he was getting ready to take off to go to Australia on Sunday.  COOL !
While John was hobnobing with celebrities...I was over visiting Sean at Chris & Holly's new house.  He was dog sitting for them and Holly's sister Heather's dogs while they all went up to Minnesota for a wedding.  I brought over some lunch and then he showed me their new house.  It's really nice.  We then sat and watched some scary ghost haunting shows until I had to leave at 4:30 because I had to go let Bailey out.  I couldn't bring Bailey over there because Zoe (Chris & Holly's dog) does not like Bailey.

On Sunday, I went to the Renaissance Fair in Bristol, WI with Sarah, Kaylin & Shane while John drove back home from Up North.  He got home around 1PM.
The Renaissance Fair was really fun, we got there around 10:30AM and already there was a line of cars to go into the parking lot (field).  Kaylin dressed up in one of her princess dresses.  Next year (yes, we are going again next year)  I am going to dress up too.  You wouldn't belive the amount of people that come dressed up in medieval clothes and there were people dressed as fairies walking thorugh out the fair.  Lots of kids get dressed up in costume too.  I took some pictures with my phone, so hopefully they are clear enough.
Kaylin got a butterfly painted on her cheek

Here is the Queen's throne, you can go and sit on it when the Queen is not in residence.

Here is a little girl with wings

One of the many performances in the fair

Eating Gelato (it's Italian ice cream)-The kids were pretty tired at this point and Kaylin was almost falling asleep.

The band anouncing that the Queen is coming

Walking through the crowd-The women dressed up behind them was carring a sign that said "Kisses".

We had just left the Fair and there was this little platform that the kids climbed up on.  Notice Shane practicing with his sword !  

  



So that is the end, we had a great time and are looking forward to going again next year.  Maybe Matt, Sean & John will come with us..HUH ???

Have a good week
