Madison's New Children's Musuem

We enjoyed the Madison's Brand new children musuem last Sat. Thanks Sabrina and Chad!!! The kids had a wonderful time exploring and checking out all the cool things they had to offer. It was neat just seeing all of the recycled things in there! Madison and I even tried the hamster wheel. It got going pretty fast, and she was a little unsure of it, but she still tried it! They enjoyed building and playing...I think the wood slide was their favorite. Sabrina told us about the dentist's chair. When you sit on it and look at the screen, if you open your mouth, animal sounds come out of it. It was pretty silly, and many people enjoyed watching. They even loved the door on the way out...there is one door that is kid sized. How cute! We will definitely enjoy another visit soon!

Nap time

Max had a rough week. He ran a fever from Tues.-Fri., and all because of teeth. He was very clingy, and just wanted to be held. One of the days, Robin said he just wouldn't go to sleep upstairs, and that he was napping on the floor with Ginger...I asked her to take a pic, isn't it cute? He is back to himself again. Max will probably be a monkey for Halloween, but the pumpkin is his back-up. He didn't care for the head piece that much!

Peck's

We enjoyed the beautiful fall weather at Peck's farm in Spring Green a couple of weekends ago. The kids had such a great time on the play equipment (look closely at the playhouse and you will see Max peeking out the window), the corn maze, the train ride, crazy horse rides, eating caramel apples, roller coaster races, and feeding the goats! We worked up such an appetite, we had to stop at the local drive-in diner for some burgers...yum! We love these family days!

Fire Station visit

The following Friday, I was able to leave work for a bit and meet Madison's class at the LaValle fire station. It was fire prevention week, and after hearing about "stop, drop, and roll" for the week, I was happy to see what they would present! They watched a quick video with Sparky, learned about smoke alarms and excape plans. We got to look at some fire trucks, and climb in some, too. The last thing was trying out a fire hose...I think Madison could have a future in fire fighting the way she was right on the target. They even let the adults try :)

Reedsburg Harvest Festival

Reedsburg has an annual Harvest Festival the first weekend in October. While Daddy was enjoying a round of golf on this beautiful autumn day, we went with Keely and Maya downtown. The girls enjoyed the GIANT blow-up climber with slide. I love the action shot of Macy's hair! We all went on a horse ride, too. The kids enjoyed the ride, and liked to look at the horses after we got back. What a fun morning! That was the same day that Mommy went and saw Wicked at the overture center. I loved it!

Madison's Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Jesse was able to take a half day, and go to Country Bumpkin pumpkin patch with Madison and her preschool class. They enjoyed a hay ride, picking corn (although she couldn't pick sweet corn like last year), and picking out pumpkins and gourds. Her favorite part of the trip was "finding a slug on the crazy gourd!" She was thrilled that Daddy got to go along!

Weekend Fun and the "Hocomotion"

Last weekend was full of fun!!! We went to Appleton for Grandpa School and Arlene's wedding anniversary meal with my Mom's side of the family. Jesse and I went to the Wheel of Fortune tryouts in Appleton with Sabrina (no such luck). We traveled back to Milwaukee where we took CC out for lunch on Sunday and the girls had Grandparent Day with Bumpa and Nana at the Larson's! They jumped on the trampoline, played hide and seek, painted pumpkins, a special ride, and had a dinner! Thanks Larson's for another fun year! Madison was also coloring Bucky for UW's Homecoming next weekend, and Macy started dancing the "Hocomotion!!!!!!!"
