WI Weekend + Guys Big Boat Adventure

The kids and I had a fun time visiting G&G Mackus in WI while Matt hosted his college friends on the big boat all weekend in downtown Chicago.  

Stories with Grandma 

A few weeks ago Mom told me how she wanted to take the kids to the "Where the Wild Things Are" exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Library, so that's where we went.  It was so fun!





The library was so awesome!







After the library we visited the Betty Brinn's Children Museum also in downtown Milwaukee

Future realtor?  Matt would be proud


Nice views of the Calatrava at the art museum in the background.

Exploring the stream and pond in their backyard

Croquet

Their backyard is so gorgeous

Campfire with Grandpa!


Roasting marshmallows

Made the trip up to Mazomanie, WI on Sunday for the annual family reunion.  Got to meet my cousin Katie's new baby boy Elijah!  Aunt Susan is a grandma!

Meanwhile....Matt & the guys hanging out downtown





In the "playpen" all day Saturday.
Luke wanted to sleep in his living room couch fort one night, and we let him but all the cushions eventually fell over on him.  He didn't even wake up.  I love that he brought his glow star turtle in his fort with him.  Every time he climbs into bed with us in the middle of the night he brings his turtle into our room too.  I think it is so cute.  

Luke has a Richard Scarry book from my childhood called "Just for Fun" and they make a dragline machine with chairs and a bucket like this - so he wanted to try and make one too.  It was tons of fun for the kids.  He put acorns and pine cones in his bucket and kept dumping them out.


Asleep on the job:)  He likes dusting, but it does get a bit tiring.
