Since this summer has been non-stop we thought we would send off summer 2010 with a grand finale; sort of like the end of a great firework show. However, not just a picnic, or a day at the beach will work for the Mikkimoto’s.
Pa-Leeze!! That stuff is for sissies!
I’ll show ya how it’s done.
Thursday the three of us, plus a friend of Ben’s, are headed to Milwaukee to catch a Brewer game. Nothing says “Bye summer! We’ll miss you.” like a Thursday afternoon at the ballpark.
Usually a Brewer game is enough of an activity for a weekend. But “usually” doesn’t cut it for this end of the summer send off.
So Friday we pile back in the car with a different friend for the boy (Hey, all you kids out there! Make friends with the guy who’s an only child. No one ever gets just three tickets to anything. You’re a shoe-in for a good time!) and head in the other direction up to the Wisconsin Dells for a day at Mount Olympus.
If it’s anything like our day at Noah’s Ark earlier this summer I can’t wait. Although this time I’ll remember that hours in the sun + lots of water = reapply sunscreen often. I think my skin just did a happy dance.
But wait! That’s not all! For the low, low price of $0.00 we’ll also throw in a soccer tournament for the kid Saturday morning. For no extra charge, immediately after the last whistle blows you’ll get, a dashing-off-mother-to-a-Bachlorette-party back up in the Dells. (I swear I’m not having an affair with Wisconsin Dells and I also swear this blog isn’t sponsored by that small Wisconsin town full of chlorinated water.)
If you call right now we’ll add a going away party for a friend moving to Chicago on Sunday afternoon. Because really, after four days of going non-stop who doesn’t want another excuse to party?
By the time this weekend is over I’ll either give my liver over for the benefit of science or be so brain-dead future posts will look something like, “We saw dog. Dog was yellow. I like dog. Me want dog.”
Since I might not make this weekend out alive, I would like to give one lucky reader something to remember me by. Like ya know, Soy milk.
So head on over to my review blog to learn more and enter!
