OHHH what a weekend (:

The Hurtgens came to visit this weekend, and
we all went to the Brewer's game at Miller Park. We got the tickets super cheap through DBall's work, and we also got free food and $1 beers tailgating. And to make the day even better, it was DAMIAN MILLER BOBBLE HEAD DAY!! (check out Sara being all excited for her bobblehead)Unfortunately the Brewer's lost by 1, but the game was fun nonetheless.
Dustin's brother Darrin is HILARIOUS!! He definitely kept us laughing all day long. Sara and I stopped off at Hobby Lobby before the game, with the boys going over to the Family Dollar to keep from being bored at HL. We meet up with them to find Darrin bought a bunch of "
snacks" for us on the drive, spending less than $10. He was loaded up with Slim Jims, Laffy Taffy, and Funyons (on sale for 25 cents - what a deal!) He also bought this Stink Doll. I had never heard of it before, but he seemed to have fun with it. Unfortuntaely, it lived up to its name, and boy was it bad (but as you can tell, Darrin liked it)Today was another fun day, but more chill than busy. After the Hurtgen's left, Jason and I went mini-golfing. Now I am not a golfer at all, but I think I put up a pretty good fight (thankfully Jason is no putter himself) I lost by a lot, but one hole just gave me grief, and J nailed it. (sorry no pics from minigolfing)
This evening I mosied on over to the Terrace to read
some HP6 (again); I stayed for a little over an hour (got a nice tan
forming) and decided to take the long way home. I walked up State St to the Capitol on this beautiful Sunday afternoon and got some cute pictures. First off, Madison is an artsy town, but I can't understand how they justify spending the money on some of the stuff they do. Yeah the cows are cute, but seriously... think of how much money was spent on them and what could have been done instead. And these cows are all over the place - from Library Mall all the way to the Capitol. Craziness!!
And now a shoutout to Vienna, who turned one yesterday. I'm such a crappy owner - I wasn't home at all due to the baseball festivities. But fortunately she doesn't hold it against me... she's snuggling up on my lap as I type (:Hope everyone else had a great weekend - I know Ang and Barb did!

Looks like your baseball antics were also fun! I love that picture of Sara!! I agree on the cows, although your photos look great. We need to chit chat about when I am coming to Madison...
We had Moose all over our city a few years back. It was cool though, at the end of it they auctioned them all off and made the money back and more. Hopefully they will do the same type of thing there.

Okay. If Ang is coming to Mad-town soon, I might need to jump on that bandwagon.
I like the cows. Think they're cute.
Hooray for Brewer give-aways. I think we're going to go for the nesting dolls in July.
i don't think the city paid for the cows... did they? they DID pay for those stupid new fountains though that dont seem to work
