Polka and sunshine

On Saturday we dragged our kids kicking and screaming to the Overture Center to see these Pint-Sized Polkas--Uncle Mike and His Polka Band!




Uncle Mike's accordian has some serious bling.  But my favorite was his sidekick Lumberjack Dan, who was so serious and...Midwestern.

David and Mary LOVED it.  So, it is definitely okay to drag your kids kicking and screaming to stuff sometimes.

Afterwards, we went out for ice cream.  David and Mary wanted to sit outside in the sunshine.  So we did.  They were not wearing coats.  And it was 50 degrees.  It felt like perfectly pleasant weather for ice cream.

We are going to Texas.  It is going to be 80 degrees.  I know I should be excited about that...but we are going to mmmmmmelt.

By the way, did you know that Wisconsin is the polka capital of the world?  Dairy farmers by day; polka dancers by night.  Seriously.
