Ice Cream Social

Today we went to the Betty Brin Children's Museum for their Valentines Day Ice Cream Social. It was a special treat as Grandma came with us. We got to play in the exhibits, I think the favorite exhibits were the car shop and the grocery store. Zach got to change a tire and change an air filter in the car shop and do some shopping at the grocery store. We also were able to make Valentines Day cards for both Grandpas. To top it all off we got to make our own ice cream sundaes. They were very yummy.

The Kalahari

Over the weekend we went to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells with our friends Norm, Cheryl, and Olivia. We had a great weekend playing in the waterpark, playing in their new indoor park, and just hanging out in our upgraded suite.

Happy New Year

It is now the year of the Ox. We attended the Milwaukee Area Families with Chinese Children New Year's celebration. We all had fun. Zach did crafts, there were vendors for shopping, we saw a Tai Chi demonstration and the traditional Lion Dance.

Trick or Treat

For Zach's first ever trick or treat experience, we headed to Oconomowoc to trick or treat with aunt Jill and cousin Connor. Zach's costume was a jack-o-lantern. It took Zach about 2 houses to figure out what was going on. Once he realized that you can go up to a house and get candy, he was raring to go. I was very impressed that he lasted about an hour and a half until he was tired and wanted to go.

Zach's Birthday Party

Zach had his birthday party today at Olympic Lanes in Milwaukee. We bowled for 2 hours, ate pizza and birthday cake, and opened presents. Family from both sides were present and all had a good time.

Happy 3rd Birthday Zach!!

Today was Zach's 3rd Birthday. He brought in Halloween cookies to daycare to celebrate and was very excited to give his teacher the cookies for his friends. At daycare, Zach received a special "Happy Birthday Crown" and his classmates sang Happy Birthday to him in music class. After daycare and work, Zach was able to open his gift from Joe and I. He was VERY happy to see a shiney, new, red wagon. We had to push him around in the garage until it was time for us to leave for his birthday dinner. For his birthday dinner, we took Zach to Stonefire Pizza. He had a blast playing in the toddler section, eating pizza, and watching a Disney movie. He was also very glad that he was able to share his evening with Grandma and Grandpa, cousins Conner and Danielle, aunt Jill, and our friend Alisha.

Pumpkin Farm

Since it was such a beautiful fall day, we decided to head on out to the Green Meadows Petting Farm in Waterford. We all had a fun time, as we got to pet lots of animals, take a hayride, and pick our own pumpkins. Zach even had a pony ride (we were amazed that he actually went on the pony).

This evening we all sat down and painted our pumpkins. We will be displaying them on our front step tomorrow after they dry.
