Week of June 12,2011

Pics from the zoo.

This past week started off slow but it turned out to be a busy few days later in the week. We did a few local outings early in the week, band concert, shopping both grocery and Dollar stores. Had a beer and a bratwurst at the ball park and watched the local ball team play. Also band concert.

Did stop at the Indian Casino, enjoyed a BLT and won $1.95 on the slots. The frau got $5.00 for her June birthday from the casino and she added $4.50 in winnings to that. Made for an inexpensive lunch.

Then on Thursday we ventured to Madison and met our daughter and 2 little granddaughters at the Vilas Park Zoo. It is a great zoo and it is free. We were fortunate enough to get a parking space near the entrance. Met with the girls and walked around the park. We saw many animals then the kids wanted to go to the children zoo, We walked in that direction and they played in the playground. Then they wanted to ride the Merry Go Round. They also have a small train and we didn't have time to let them ride it. I'm getting old and the legs were giving out and the sun was getting to me. It was a good time.

Friday mowed the lawn. Then enjoyed a small bottle of Miller High Life. Looked at the label and off to the side was a picture of the Miller gal sitting on the moon. I didn't realize that Miller still used that logo. It was good to see it once again, maybe they will be using it in their upcoming ads. I hope that they will.
