Prairie Athletic Club Indoor Pool

Katie and I are here today, the last day of her brother's weeklong stint at Wander Wisconsin (great program through Wisconsin Youth Company). The Club includes a sizeable outdoor proto-water park with the requisite pounding pop music blasting through over-driven public address speakers, but it's cloudy and chilly today, so here we are. At 22 dollars a pop. Inside, kicking it old ... um, pool.

Still, fun is being had here in the immaculate, warren-like Club confines. It's nice. It's close. There's no big audio dynamite indoors. The restaurant got double points for not even offering fries AND a full bar. Sorry, sports fans, Mommy likes the option of pretending she's on vacation when she spends 60+ semolians for two people's afternoon amusement.

Hey! Somebody just turned on the jetty/fountainy things. Now it's officially a waterpark.

Summer's First Week

Thus far we have cleaned rooms (complaaaaaiiiiiiints, but it got done), vacuum the basement (John), made sugar cookies (Katie & Mom), played at Yahara Park and gone to the library (with Quinn).

Wednesday it rained, so we journeyed to Menards to acquire Father's Day gifts, then had a really quite edible and delightful lunch at Fazoli's, an Italian chain restaurant near East Towne. I always forget or overlook this place, but it's worth visiting with kids. The piece de resistance, however, was our visit to the UW-Madison Geology Museum

In the course of the week we also checked out Midwest Pottery Works, and Madison Sourdough, both on Willy Street.
