I know the plan was to swim it up on Friday, but I should
have looked at the weather. It was 70
degrees and rained on and off all day.
For July, it was brilliant.
Instead of going swimming today, D and I went to an enchanting
little dream park called McKee Farms Park in Fitchburg, WI
(about 20 min from Madison).
Pretty cute, right?
There were just enough kids there to make the playground
more interesting, although D was totally captivated by the swings and spent the
majority of the morning asking for “more peas, wing.” And so that is what we did:
“wing! Fee…dex…aight….ten!”
(3,6,8,10…David had no use for the numbers 1,2,4,5,7 or 9).
I even swung with him for a little while, in the big-kid
play area. After a few minutes, I
remembered how nice it was to swing outdoors in perfect weather and thought of
how completely impractical but relaxant/satisfying it would be to have a
hammock in our back yard. Maybe during
residency…assuming we have a backyard.
Anyway, we played at the park in the morning, swinging and
listening to all of the other moms and kids with their mid-western
accents. It was great.
The afternoon looked the same as the other
afternoons: back to the apartment for lunch and nap, then we made our daily
pilgrimage to Target to get more diapers and wipes.
We celebrated the fact that it was Friday night and that Jon
would be off for the weekend by going to the Great Dane Pub for dinner. We both had a yen for a good burger and they
didn’t disappoint. This was followed by truffles that left us both
speechless. They do beautiful, delicious
work there.
A beautiful end to another beautiful day in Madison.
Tomorrow we head to Minocqua to visit the Jasters!
