The first day of the weekend found us in Oshkosh at the first annual Irish fest. The weather was windy but beautiful temperatures clear skies and just enough crowd to make it feel festive without being 'crowded." The auditorium was a really nice venue and the bands played enough jigs and reels to keep everyone entertained. The kids were able to roam a little in the sparse crowd and even try their own 'riverdance." I pretty much laid on grassy slope and drank tappers of dark beer keeping my eyes on the stage so I didn't catch any number of traditional kilt wearers on the windy day. The kids slept on the way home and were ready for a grandparent visit on Sunday. The backyard became the standard hide/seek, basketball court, hockey rink, baseball field but this time the grandparents were their to do all of the hard work and even topped of the day with a little "car ice cream" from the musical truck that wanders the neighborhood on most sunny afternoons. All in all in really good weekend.
