Walking to Summerfest along Lake Michigan.

The US Bank Center is the tallest building in WI. It is 42 stories. The Empire State Building is the tallest building in NY. It is 102 stories.

We were at Summerfest to see Ben Folds. He played on the Piggly Wiggly stage. I’d been dying to see him live for years. Unfortunately, because of the way the audience area was set up we were barely able catch glimpses of him.

This was our view for most of the concert.

Ben Folds. You don’t know what I had to do to get this photo.

Lately I’ve been watching a lot of this A&E program called America’s Castles. It features beautiful mansions around the country and gives you a tour of the house and it’s history. The Pabst Mansion was one of the houses featured and so when I got the chance, I drug my entire family there to tour it.

Outside the Pabst Mansion. Photos inside are not allowed even though I took one inside one of the bathrooms that I plan to submit to The Mirror Project soon.

Amanda, Richard, Stephanie, Jessica and I went mini-golfing. I won’t say who won, but it wasn’t me.

Mini golf course.

I think Jess slept through the entire mini golf game and the ice cream treats that followed it.

Going to see the iMax movie Bugs. Nancy holding Jessica.

Amanda and Jessica watching the iMax movie.

After the movie we ate at Rudy’s Mexican Restaurant. Mom & Dad got done eating first so they got nominated to feed Jessica.

After only one beer dad goes all silly carrying around mom’s purse.

One of our many trips to Culver’s for frozen custard. Dad and Richard pretend to give Jess her first taste.

Jess’s first time bowling!

I’m not very good at bowling… then again, I only do it about once every other year..

Dad and Stephie bowled on the bumper lane. Mom, Amanda, Richard and I bowled on the lane to the left of it.

As you can see, I suck bad at bowling.
