MWT, visits, giz, lunch, burbs

We had quite the day today...but the real reason we came back was for Rowan to try out her new potential gym! Midwest Twisters in Hartland. She got to practice with them for 4 hours today. We got to officially meet the coaches beyond just a phone call and many emails! Turns out she will be a good fit and we will move forward with her attending once we move!
 While Rowan was a gymnastics....we stopped and visited Grandpa Kris and Grandma Julie, then took Karen and Doug out for lunch as a thank you for taking care of Gizmo for the last month and a half! Then we picked up Rowan and then stopped at Karen and Doug's house to visit with Gizmo for a bit. 
Then we were off to Brookfield to check out the Rock the Burbs event that was going on. We got to catch up with Craig and Kate a bit, also saw Nora and family. Kids got to do the kids activities, we watched the finals from the talent competition that occurred earlier in the day...then we went and got dinner at Cafe Hollander!
 They had to take a selfie at one of the kids stations. 
 The view from Ed's apartment!
 Balloon base ball hat for the Brewers...
We had planned to watch Plain White T's concert after dinner...but when we came out it was raining. And we weren't dressed for that...and it was cold. So we did listen a bit from Ed's balcony...but for the most part snuggled in and headed to bed. We needed to be on the road home early am to get back to MN for hockey practice since we missed some already this weekend.

Traveling...the midwest

kiddos stuff

At gymnastics...they lower level girls have big sisters in the higher level teams...and Rowan has 2 big sisters...because someone joined later and Rowan got lucky! So for her meet last weekend they got her this for good luck...but she apparently didn't see it during the meet so got it at practice tonight. So cute of them!
And this kid...lost a 3rd tooth! I think the TF will be broke! He wasn't happy about taking the picture after school...must have been hangry.
Because before bed his was more than happy to show his 3 holes in his mouth.

another one bites the dust

When you wake up in the morning...7am, and have pulled out another tooth! Sheesh! TF might need to borrow some money.
These girls are getting ready for their first meet of the season this weekend!
Wholy rain! There is a river in the street and in our backyard too!

enjoying the weather!

So great to see the kids outside getting some exercise! Eddie loves helping his friends learn to play hockey and roller blade!

And when you are having a sweet craving...and you have the materials to make homemade chocolate frosting...good night for all!

Go pack go.

Well...we started the morning in the hockey rink...and ended practice at Sak's for lunch and some Packers vs Vikings. WEeleft when we were done with our meal since we were feeling surrounded by purple and gold. And we had to head home so Ed could get ready to fly back to WI for the week.
Pretty cute Packer fan!!
