Balance

Hola. Going to try and bang this one out quick because I'm pretty exhausted. This week, we managed to get Mia through her school work. She sort of dragged her feet on a fun story project but completed this weekend. One of my favorite parts of the week, was our bike adventures for her gym time. We decided to venture across the street and explore the neighborhoods. Typically, we ride around our side of the street, but I convinced Mia to ride with me by her school. We rode through the beautiful neighborhoods and Mia enjoyed checking out all the cool houses and just having a nice father-daughter conversation. There's one house in particular she loves that's for sale. but there's no way we're in the market for a $469.000 home. Beautiful place too. Anyways, we definitely enjoyed the bike rides and hope the weather improves. We had one Spidey visit for a classmate of Mia's. He was a bit shy but Mia said he always is. 

I picked up a 2nd Spider-Man suit. My original one was falling apart, the mask was busted and overall, it just wasn't working for me anymore. My 2nd one at a distance, may not look the same, but it's different. More contour for the muscles, I ordered a tighter size and everything just looks cleaner. 

Thursday, I did an interview with Kramp from Fox 6 to follow up the Share Lemonade piece a friend submitted. Not an easy thing to do on Zoom, but we did it. We set up a meet for a photojournalist for my visits for the weekend. I was stoked because I'd have my new suit for my weekend of visits. We started with a car parade in Waukesha for a friend of ours. Fox 6 mic'd me up at the meet location and we were off to the car parade. The birthday girl was super cute and loved our balloons we brought. Fox 6 did a little spot after and that was it. After the parade, we jetted over to Mukwonago to visit a little boy and his family. He was sorta shy, but his sister certainly didn't mind seeing Spidey. On our way there, we saw some kids outside so we decided to cruise the area with some spontaneous visits and photo opts. The families would yell "GRAB THE KID! SPIDER-MAN IS ON TOP OF A CAR DRIVING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD! SERIOUSLY!! GO GET THEM!" Too much fun. These are the kind of visits I personally like. The ones where kids aren't expecting something extraordinary in their town on their street. We headed home, grabbed some lunch, built a trampoline for Mia and went back out to a car parade nearby. The size of the car parade was pretty great. A lot of kids in the parade were waving to me as I climbed on top of the Civic. As we rolled up to the birthday boy's house, he seemed to be in shock. We gave him Jill's impressive balloon display she beautifully built and that was it. They were handing out Jello and cup cake pops as we moved to our last stop of the day in Bayside. 

Our last visit was a couple kids in Bayside. One girl had gone through a major surgery and both her and her bro were big super hero fans. I arrived on top of the car like always, and they were just so excited to meet me. I got some super hero questions and they loved watching me leave on top of the car. "HOW DO YOU STAY ON?" Kids love it. That completed the Spidey stops for the weekend. We hung out, had some Qdoba and watched Scoob! Mia loves the movie, but I give it a strong "it was okay". 

Today we woke up to a rainy soggy damp Sunday. Not an exciting way to end the weekend, but it happens. This week, more school, more art and I believe Fox 6 will air our little Spidey story on Wednesday. Keep your eyes out for it. Just trying to balance everything while keeping sane. That's all for now, stay super and thanks for reading!
