Picnic on the Farm-July 4th, 2017

Lou and I usually host a large Fourth of July party at our house, but this year we were invited to a big church picnic at Scot and Shirley Cerka's Farm in Burlington, WI.


Beautiful Day and Beautiful Surroundings


Scott and Shirley own 18 acres of beautiful land complete with horses, geese, an in-ground swimming pool, hot tub and lots of fun toys.
Horses enjoyed the day, too!

Scott spent much of the beautiful, sunny afternoon cooking burgers, brats, hot dogs and corn. Guests brought various salads, fruit and desserts. Shirley was busy making guests welcome and ensuring everything went smoothly.

Awesome Food!

There were some friendly games of bean bag toss, Frisbee, and bocce ball to keep people entertained along the sidelines.

The Stanger Team-sheer power!

One attention getter was the kitten, Ethel, who found her way onto various laps. Elfrieda really enjoyed holding Ethel and entertaining her. Ethel also enjoyed taking a nap on Ali's lap. It was just so cute.

Everyone was having a great time just relaxing and eating! What a way to spend a holiday.

  1. The kitten's name is Ethel and the mini horse was Emma, not that it really matters. So happy that you had a great time. It seemed like fun for all.
