more family fun

After dinner with Grandma and Grandpa last night we headed to Nana and Papa's house to sleep.

 

In the morning the kids tried out Nana and Papa's whirlpool tub again.

Then we were off the the Swan residence to visit with Casey and Quinn and family.

birthday dinner

Today we headed to Pewaukee to finally get Grandpa and Grandma their birthday gift! Only a couple months late! A canvas picture of all of us from Christmas! Then we headed to the 5 O'Clock club for dinner! We haven't been their in ages! We got there at 530p and still had to wait an hour. We were lucky enough to get a bar seat, and the kids did pretty well with the wait. Although there weren't a ton of patience at the table then, but overall they did great. It was worth the wait.

sick eyes

...and hair too.

 

Rowan has a full blown cold and fever too. She stayed home from school today because of it. So much for her perfect attendance. Probably only a matter of hours before Eddie has it too.

 

Last night we filed our taxes and then went out for dinner because we had a showing, and Rowan just laid on the bench of the booth because she was burning up. It was only time before the bug hit our house.

sick swimmer

This little girl is coming down with a cold. Probably should have kept her home, but we forged on and she did fine. Swimming this session is a bit harder for her, there are now 4 kids in the class and last session there were only 2. So they were busier last session, and therefore the downtime causes not so good listening ears. Hopefully we will graduate from eel after this session. Time will tell.

#1 patient

We were at the dentist for Rowan's cleaning today and she was praised for being such a good patient. She did awesome for xrays (2nd year in a row) and for being so good for her cleaning too. She showed her brother exactly what to do. He will be back in a couple weeks for his first dental visit. At the end of Rowan's appointment, the two of them got to go for a ride in the chair.

sticky painting

We did some condensed milk painting tonight. It was fun for the kids to work with, but super sticky to clean up. And it took days for the artwork to dry. But it was glossy and fun colors! They had fun. Daddy stayed at Nana and Papa's tonight, so he missed the sticky fun.

Lake Geneva Fun

Yesterday morning we headed to Lake Geneva to spend the weekend at a water park with the Smith Family to celebrate Grady, Dusty and Eddie's birthdays!

 

We started by meeting for lunch at Sprecher's, then we were able to check into the hotel and get situated before hitting the water park. Had to get our snacks and beverages organized of course.

 

The waterpark was perfect for the kids. Not too big and not too small. There was a slide that you rode a tube down that Rowan, Kieran and Grady loved. They even got Uncle Dusty to go down too. Then there was the lazy river that was enjoyed by all as well. But the big hit was the hot tub that was indoor/outdoor. We were a bit illegal letting the kids go in the hot tub because apparently in Wisconsin you are supposed to be 6 in order to go in, and of course all the kids loved it.

We ordered some pizza for a late dinner/snack, played some games and then it was time for bed.

Sunday we were up and did gifts, cupcakes and coffee before getting back in the water for a couple more hours before heading home. When check out time came, we packed up, stopped for a quick lunch and then were all on our way home. So much fun to see everyone, wise we were all closer so we could do it more often. Once we move we will be a little closer.

Nana and Papa (well mostly Nana) made the kids fish and fishing poles! There are magnets in the fish and on the end of the pole, so they can go fishing and put the fish in their own bucket! Pretty cute. Kids loved it.
