Perfect

Today was pretty much a perfect day. It started with Tae Kwon Do which felt absolutely great. The last time we were there is when Brian and received our new belts -- he and the boys are high purple, and I'm green belt. This was over a month ago. We had ridden our bikes there, and went over to the farmer's market on our way home. I got my kitchen knives sharpened by The Sharp Brothers. We picked up some corn chowder from Wisconsin Soup Company that we enjoyed for lunch. And just had salted caramel ice cream from Purple Door for dessert. Yum! It's not an enormous farmer's market, but there really is some great stuff. After lunch, we loaded up the car and drove 30 minutes to Harrington Beach State Park. Brian has really had the bug to go camping ever since we got back from our trip. And with soccer starting, this could be the last weekend we have free. Alas, when he looked a few days ago, everything was booked! But we thought it would still be fun to spend the afternoon swimming and fishing at one of the places we looked at ... and we were right. We brought Storm with us, which turned out to be awesome since there was even a dog area on the beach! Storm hasn't spent much time in the water. In fact, the last time he went swimming was four years ago when we were up north. But he walked right into the lake and had an absolute blast. We were so proud. Before we left, the boys even tried their luck at fishing in one of the smaller lakes in the park. Again, we are amazed that a spot like this exists so close to our house. It's amazing. And hopefully one of these days, we'll get to even get to camp there overnight.
