Bright Skies and crisp mornings mark the coming of Autumn, but we were not to be forced inside. We headed south Saturday morning to Neenah, for the annual Quarry Quest. The open up a large active quarry for kids to come and play on and with all of the equipment. The lines are long for the parents, but barely noticed by the kids as each line is accompanied by a large sand pile complete with buckets and shovels. When the parent reach the front of the line the kids are treated with a rides working back hoes, dump trucks, bulldozers and other CAT vehicles that I can little fathom their role in a quarry. It is huge event and is really well thought out, I was very impressed. The kids are all dressed in orange work/construction vests and keeping track of your own kids is a little like finding Waldo. We hung out until lunch time and them headed toward Famous Dave's. We didn't bother ordering anything for Merrick front the meat palace. A brief nap for all and then we were on the bikes and heading down the bike trail to Celebrate De Pere. Good music, great community and beers in the street. We even took a shuttle across the bridge to the SNC campus and partook in their activities. The bridge goes over on of the Fox Rivers Dams and Sophia found great humor in all of the word play that is possible when near a dam. She thought there were some big dam waves and a lot of dam water and we impressed at all of the dam ducks just hanging around. We capped off the night with some movie about a super agent gerbils or guinea pigs and Sunday was mostly a domestic duties day, although the kids did find time to but out Lisa's high heels. Over all still a pretty good weekend.
