Last Friday, Brian drove the EAA and camped for the weekend. Cole, Zoe and I decided to check out the Riverwest 24, aka The People's Holiday. It's such a fun event that starts Friday at 7pm and ends Saturday at 7pm. The goal is to get as many laps as possible, but honestly, it's really more fun than anything. There are quirky bonus checkpoints (tattoo anyone?), bands playing in garages, and people out everywhere all night long.
You come across things like this! So much fun. We ran into a few friends who were doing it. It's on Cole's bucket list to do some day, so I was happy we were able to make it.
The next day I drove to Oshkosh and met up with Brian at the EAA. It was sweltering, and jam packed, but still fun. I missed having Hudson there, but we did run into the SLU guys which was fun.
The whole event is a blast to be honest. All day long their are air shows going on. These were old military planes.
Love the paint jobs on them.
The acrobatics are insane. What I love most though, is the fighter jets zooming low and so fat only feet from you. It's crazy.
I stayed for the night show. Imagine airplanes with fireworks coming off of them. Laser, drone, fire bombs. This show has it all, and again, it's so close by. It's very cool. I need to plan better though. It took just as long for me to get out of the parking lot as it did to get home. It was a long day, but worth it.
My friend Kim loaned me this book. It was a little strange and sad, but I couldn't put it down. I can't even explain it.
The most exciting news is that our niece Mackenzie and her new husband Patryck are expecting twins. She officially announced it, so I can too. I can't wait for this.
But wait! There's even more most exciting news. Maia + Caleb got engaged. He proposed in Paris. I can't say it's a surprise, but we are all so happy for them. Caleb is such a great guy, and we can't wait to officially welcome him into the family.
