Greetings, people. Nothing too exciting to report from the weekend. A rather quiet Saturday for the familia. Mia was crabby most of the morning, so we decided "hey let's go to the zoo, maybe that will cheer her up". Didn't help too much. We tried the sting ray/shark touch thing again and since she couldn't reach the rays, she got upset. I finally was able to pet one of the sharks. Very cool bumpy skin. Totally worth dealing with her crabby attitude to pet a shark.

After that, we went to the sea lion show. Last year when we did it, she loved it a ton. Didn't change at all. She couldn't get enough of the sea lions performing. Clapped for every trick Slick, the sea lion performed. "Let's watch it again!" Nah, we gotta head home. Saturday evening, we had my sister over for dinner. Mia had a lot of fun playing with her. Sunday, I worked the early shift. Tossed the idea of soccer that evening, but the heat was 90 degrees all day, and I didn't want to get super dehydrated on the pitch. I know "well drink water dumb ass" but I wasn't feeling it that day. We tried to hit up the local pool, but after driving through the park to GET to the pool, we could already tell that it'd be impossible to get in the water. So we turned around, and tried the Pewaukee Lake. It was super busy as well, but we were able to park and walk to the beach. Mia didn't like the water temperature, or the crazy amount of people so we didn't last very long. Oh well.
Today nothing too eventful. Mia slept in till 10:30. Sort of through off her day a bit. Visited Grandma a bit, then later Grandpa. Highlight of my day, or maybe LIFE was when I was juggling and heading a soccer ball a bit, and Mia, who was eating grapes at the moment stops and tells me "Daddy, you're a great soccer player". That's the very FIRST time anyone in my life has ever said that to me. I stopped playing soccer nearly 17 years ago because I didn't think I was any good. I know she's 2 years old, but it really made a difference to me. I'm missing the pick up game this weekend because we'll be in Illinois Friday thru Sunday but I plan on making the July 7th game. Seriously hope she stays awake for the game and can watch me :)
Last but not least, a big congrats to the Blackhawks for taking out the Bruins for the Stanley Cup. It was an insane series in a season that almost didn't happen. In the end, with 17 seconds left, the Hawks tied and got the game-winning goal. Very rad. I had to root for them when the Bruins destroyed the Penguins. That was a hard series to tune in to. When your team gets taken out of the playoffs that they could have easily taken. Anyways, glad the Hawks took down the Bruins.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
