I’d be excited about my parents visiting any time of year, but I was especially excited for this visit because* I needed a break from work. [Broken Record] Work is so damn busy right now – so much that I’ve been working while they’re here (eyeroll) and had to go to the office today (MAJOR eyeroll) – and it’s been great to relax and do some fun things with them!

They got here onΒ Thursday and we stayed up late chatting!

On Friday we saw the Rolling Stones!

On Saturday we went to Milwaukee to eat good food, go axe throwing, and check out a street fair (we didn’t even know the street fair would be right by axe throwing – what a lucky coincidence!).

Dad sucks at axe throwing, like me!

On Sunday we mostly chilled, had El Famous for lunch, and made a yummy vegan dinner (“ham,” mashed potatoes, and dressing!).

Khali loves Dad

On Monday we went to the Russell Military Museum with Jen and Troy and the kids, and got to ride a tank!!! It made me really happy my parents got to spend time with our close friends.

This museum is right by our house and I had no idea how much stuff they have there!

On Tuesday (today) I went to work. EYEROLL EYEROLL EYEROLL. Steven is working too and my parents have been out exploring all day.

They leave tomorrow and I am pretty annoyed I had to go in to the office today (in case you couldn’t tell), but I am going to try to make the most of it tonight and before they leave tomorrow!!!** Then it’s back to the grind. The good thing about being so busy is that the days are FLYING by and the weekends come faster. The bad thing is that the days are flying by and I feel completely zapped and brain dead after work.

*and because of The Rolling Stones, duh
**Although I am definitely having thoughts of feeling sad their visit is over before it is GAH.
