A fun day.....after catching up on sleep, we had a delicious breakfast at Kewpee's which was a favorite from years ago. Their cube-style American potatoes (just slightly crispy) are sooo good,
This diner-type place has been around for a long time and is full of kewpee dolls.

We drove around downtown, saw more of the painted sailboats - such talent! Stopped at O and H Bakery, thee place for Kringle (Danish pastry with various fruit or nut fillings). We've eaten many a kringle over the years and of course, our kids all love them. So, we walked out the door with 10 for our kids/grandkids (with their respective choices)!
Then we were off to Milaeger's to pick up a gift (something I meant to do yesterday). We went to Barnes and Noble and browsed around and then off to Eagle Lake (near Kansasville, WI) to visit Mark's sister, Doris and hubby, Rich in their brand new home. It is beautiful and after getting the grand tour, we all went down to the dock with drinks, cheese and crackers, sat on the pontoon and chatted away - just a beautiful day!

We left around 3 and settled in our hotel in Milwaukee (also site of reception for Tom and Samm's wedding tomorrow).
Mark and I are Tom's Godparents and we will be doing the readings for the wedding. We joined the wedding party and parents for the rehearsal at St. Mary's in Menominee Falls followed by the dinner at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
What a unique venue at the ole ballpark (TGI Friday's). Our private room was behind left field and there were so many people lying on blankets or sleeping bags out in the field and in the stands watching a Star Wars movie on the huge screen. Beautiful night at the ball park for the rehearsal dinner along with grilled chicken, burgers, all the fixins, salad, baked beans and cookies!
Fun evening and sat with our niece Bridget (Tom's sister) and her husband Adam and had a great visit. Their first baby is due 3 weeks from today!
