Betty Brinn Children's Museum and more pool fun!

Our three munchkins!
This is Evie...my friend from MLC Mandy and her daughter Evie came down to play this morning! We thought it would be fun to take the kids to Betty Brinn.
Allie and Evelyn working in the train

Future scientist??

Allie and Aubrey are learning how their ears work
Busy busy in the mail room!
Aubrey is hard at work with the oversized tinker toys
Allie making beautiful music--banging on pots and pans sounds so much better here than in my kitchen!
At the pool to meet up with the shinglers! Aubrey thought she wanted to try the slide...

The slide didn't happen tonight but she sure does love to "jump" (it's more like falling) from the diving board!

Allie found a fun toy...kept her pretty busy!
This was Lexie's second time in the pool...didn't get a shot of her first time the other day! She loves it!
The daddies with their babies!

Another busy but fun day here in Milwaukee! The temps reached above 90 so we spent the morning at the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. After naps it was time to catch up with the guys at the pool for dinner and swimming!

More Family Fun at Sunset Zoofari

Lexie is attempting to "sit" on the couch
A little more steady....
A little smile....
And then she falls over!
Here we are at the zoo for their Sunset Zoofari night...the kids are checking out the fish

It's so nice when Jay and Allie are getting along!
Crazy dancers!!!


Aunt Sara and Allie give their thumbs up to dancing at the zoo!

Even Bradley gets into the dancing!
Aubrey is pretty much always looking for trouble...and I think that she may have found it this time!
At least she is cute about it!
Can you believe that Uncle Aaron bought us all slushies right before bedtime??!?!

Sunday & Monday--Another wedding and playgroup in Lake Mills

What are the chances that Justin and Josh would show up in the same shirt and tie?? What's also funny is that Bethany and I were in very similar black dresses! Great minds must think alike!
Lexie is just hanging out at Grandma's between the wedding and the reception

Crazy Aunt Amy volunteered to take on Lexie so Josh and I could go to the reception alone!
Enjoying the park at Sandy Beach....until the mosquitos carried us away!


"Jesus Loves Me" sounds so much better when it's sung with Great Grandma Bauer!

Saturday--Zoo and the Pool!

Arriving at the zoo...we couldn't resist taking a group pictures of the stroller brigade!
Lexie started her day in the stroller...ended with the frontpack!
Allie and Daddy heading off to ride the sky tram!

There they go!

Papa took a turn riding with Aubrey

It just makes be queesy watching Allie look over the edge! There was a good reason why I was on the ground taking the pictures!!!

Count them carefully...that's 5 kids with Uncle Aaron! What's funny is that for most of the day, he was wearing an empty backpack and pushing an empty stroller!Aubrey and cousin Emma hanging out side by side
Aubrey is getting ready to jump off the board to Uncle Nate!
Off the board again, this time to Daddy!
Aubrey is now ready to come down the big slide with Uncle Aaron!

Here she comes....if only she would have closed her eyes!!


Aubrey is just hanging out in the boat
And this is why we should use swin diapers instead of pull-ups!! I think she's got half the pool in there!

What a beautiful day spent with family!! We started the day all piled into four vehicles to go to the Milwaukee Zoo. We couldn't have asked for better weather! The kids had a blast together walking around looking at the animals. We then headed over to Aaron and Sara's for a picnic lunch followed by naps. When the kiddoes woke up, it was off to the pool for swimming and a surprise 35th anniversary party for Mom and Dad Bauer! It was a great evening watching all the cousins swim and have fun together!
