A Fun Week

We kicked off Memorial Day weekend with a trip to Milwaukee to see nana...

Audrey (cautiously) loves dogs! Hurray!
We went to this amazing park (complete with a splash pad) close to nana's house!

Audrey woke up & was ready to ride bikes waiting at the back door.

Ian was surprised with this great bike from Grandpa (a bike expert)

An early birthday present that he is enjoying every day!!!

Aunt Colleen & Greyson arrived on Monday making this an extra-exciting week for us!

We packed the week with lots of fun outings & every night before bed Ian would ask, "What are we going to do tomorrow with Greyson?"

They are quite the funny duo - I mean partners in crime :)

Get... that... goat... away... from... me!

I can't resist posting these cute "kid with animal" photos every summer

We really enjoy our days at The Farm in Door County!

Now that Audrey is keeping up with the "big kids" it's been a lot of fun to watch her enjoy the same outings. Here she is on her very FIRST Bay Beach ride. I held my breath but thank goodness she LOVES rides!

Yep, this was the best I could get of all 3:

It might not win any awards at the county fair, but this cake was from the imagination of my very creative Ian. He was specific about daddy's birthday cake: blue bumper car and lots of "popcorn." We also added daddy's favorite candy, Dots

I did my best to meld the ideas & Ian oversaw the decorating process. Our crazy cake turned out absolutely yummy! I highly recommend marshmallows on cake :)

To take Ian's mind off Greyson leaving, daddy took him to the Home Depot kids' workshop.

We had just discovered this fun FREE activity the 1st Sat. of every month. Look what Ian got to build:

a mini soccer game!
