So you have a baby or two babies or three...and if you are anything like me, the last time you went to Summerfest you were taking shots in the bathroom from a water bottle full of whiskey that was strapped to your ankle...
Summerfest just isn't the same when you get older unless you are a weirdo or a mom. I happen to be a mom that wanted to enjoy our sconnie holiday this year, and let me tell you- it's possible!
1. Get there at noon, or 11am (an hour before it opens)
...you are guaranteed a better parking spot!
2. Take the little one to the playground area- the only people there that early are other moms
3. Catch an act on the little kid stage
4. Buy cheese curds, fries, grilled cheese sandwiches, lemonade and dippin' dots...ultimately thats what Summerfest comes down to anyway
5. Run through the splash pad
6. Buy yourself a wine cooler for $6.50 and milk it until the end
7. Take a walk along the lake or by the "rocks" to check out all the mini stages before the pot heads get there
8. Join in on an afro drum circle
9. Dance like a hippie with your two year old
10. Browse through the little markets and lie to the attendants that you will- totally be back for that little piece of 20 dollar beaded junk!
11. Get your kids face painted...and yours?
12. Pretend you love pop country
13. hula hoop
14. Collect free samples of things like shaving cream and free music downloads.
15. Leave at 3:30 with your baby passed out from fun overload, before you buy the second round of cheese curds and right before the crazies get there!!
