Boy and Monkey

Boy and Monkey

Joel has quite a social skill and imagination.
He loves to play with his monkey friend.
He also has the stubborn streak that seems to show more each day.
Which side of the family is the stubborn trait?

Eppelgarden

TOW Eppelgarden

Noah's first field trip was to pick apples at Eppelgarden.
Joel and Mommy went along, too.
Noah was quite excited to ride on the real school bus.

Wisconsin Dells first visit

Wisconsin Dells first visit

We got tickets to Noah's ark, but ended up not going.
Noah was quite content at the little water park at the hotel.
Noah also got to have a little adventure at the equivalent of Vegas for tots-Arcade!
Wisconsin Dells did turn out to be a nice short trip that we'll probably repeat soon.
Not a bad spot for outlet shopping either.

Summer 09 part 3

Summer 2009 part 3

This is one of the milder Wisconsin summer.
We still manage to do a lot of things outdoor. Summer concert, playing outside, going to the parks and taking a long road trip to southern Illinois. Noah and Cousin Nolan really got along great and were sad to part at the end of the trip. Joel tried his best to hang out with the boys, too. Of course, the boys both now declared Nah Nit and Uncle Trip as their favorites. (Please see our cousin Nolan's blog for nice photos from the Labor Day trip, our Mommy went shopping and didn't take pictures!)
