Memorial Day plans and food ideas

[dadofandrew]

My family looks to be at home this weekend, and while we do not have any "big plans", we would be open to a day trip. Wondering what thoughts are out there.

 

Also, anything out of the ordinary for a picnic/grill would be appreciated.

Take a tour of Lambeau, then go to a T-Rats game (Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, play in Appleton)?

Great America?

 

I dont know - I am trying to figure out what there really is to do this weekend as well. This is the first year I wont be going camping.

Working at the World's Largest Bratfest for 8+ hours...

I saw the bratfest was this weekend, but figured the boy would be bored quickly. Currently thinking of the Appleton Kids' Museum.

 

By the way, the Rattlers are out of town all weekend.

I don't know about your kids or anything but going to a museum on the weekend was one of the last things I wanted to do when I was a kid. A field trip to get out of school, sure, not on the weekend though.

Now that they've added lots of kid-friendly activities, he may not get bored as quickly as you'd think. I know they have a carnival like midway with games and rides, plus there is a rock wall and kayaking for kids to try.

 

I've never been there, so I only speak of what I've read and heard from others.

It's a children's museum. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the one in Appleton up to about age 8. Dress up like a fireman and 'drive' a fire truck, operate a crane etc. Lot's of hands on, interactive stuff to do.

Going camping in the middle of Nicolet National Forest about 4 hours north of Milwaukee. 3 nights with 7 guys, lots of beer, fishing, and cribbage. We will be eating smoked ribs and cooking a turkey in a man-made outdoor oven that cooks in about 2 hours and is beyond delicious. And the weather is looking good, if you can trust the weathermen that is.

I went camping up there once. My dad lives about 20 minutes away. It was a pretty good time.
