Smokey the Bear Turns 70

It was a great afternoon at Pike Lake yesterday. Beautiful weather and it was fun watching the kids play. Plenty of tubing and paddle boarding which Coco took to pretty good.

Today is the last day of the Wisconsin State Fair. Summer seems to be flying with all this cool weather.

A lazy sunday so far. Played a little soccer with Coco and grilled out. Krissy went to church this morning with her mom.

There was a famous birthday yesterday which we celebrated by accident at the State Park. We noticed the sign afterwards but a game warden told us Smokey the Bear was turning 70 and that he would be making an appearance their complete with cake.

Sure enough he arrived with fanfare and took pictures with the kids as the game warden talked about fire prevention. Truly a legendary character and an american icon!
