baby's first summerfest

this year we went to our 2nd and baby's first summerfest! for those that don't know, summerfest is basically an 11-day concert where countless of bands get to play - from those you've never heard of (and probably never will) to famous musicians like o.a.r., sugarland, and maroon 5. we'll always remember going last year, one of the first big milwaukee events we took part in, so we couldn't wait to head back & take baby girl this year!

thanks to my great boss, we were able to go 2 different days using free tickets. kyle was so excited we went the very first night. we didn't know the bands all that well, but that didn't matter. we saw he is we and jack's mannequin. though we only knew 1 song, it was still such a great experience. there were even fireworks (baby's first!). the only let down was no funnel cakes. really? i will go to a fair, just get a funnel cake, and my visit would be complete. but alas, they did have lemon shake-ups, so i survived and we made plenty of fun memories from that night.

our second visit was a bit more relaxed. we ended up going on the very last day right after church. and actually, we didn't even stop & listen to any concerts! we walked around the entire place, stopped at some of our favorite booths from last year - hit a golf ball into a hole on an island in the middle of the water, count how many cans are in a canoe, giant game of chess, and of course spinning the wheel at frontier airlines & winning prizes (shout out to papa aka kyle's dad!!)

we also took a ride on the skyglider, which we loved doing last year. it gives you such a good view of the whole festival & just how many people are there. though, having a baby with me, i was just a little bit more nervous about the "safety" of the ride - sit in a box hanging from a wire a hundred feet in the air. sounds great. but we had a great time and it's events like these that make us so thankful we live in such a fun city, especially during the summer! can't wait to really show baby girl milwaukee once she's here!
