Can't walk on the grass!

Josh had his end of the season party for softball. Here is a picture that Tiffany took of Kaiya and I at the party, this is one of my absolute favorites of her and I!
Kathy, the athletic director, took Kaiya and put her on the grass - which she never was on before as I would always have a blanket or mat down for her to play on. Kaiya had no clue what was going on! She didn't want to put her feet down on it - she was walking like a little hitler - sticking her foot way out in front of her and only putting it down when she had to in order to take her next step. It was so cute!

Happy Birthday to the Eagle River Children's Museum!

Our recent trip to Eagle River was A) not long enough and B) resulted in a melt down over ice cream and C) landed us two snowmobiles for the winter!!


In Eagle River, WI, where my family has a house, there is a children's museum - have never been until just recently, as we had no reason to before! The museum has lots of areas, and it lets kids learn about things hands on. There is a shadow room, where you stand infront of a wall and a flash puts your shadow on the wall (it was SO cute, Josh and Kaiya were standing in front of the wall and the flash went off - the sillouette was of him holding her hand - I tried to get a picture but it didn't turn out). They have a shopping area to shop for fresh food (plastic of course).


A bird wall where you can push the different birds to hear their sounds, a water play area, a fake hospital room, etc, etc. A place where you can put yourself in a bubble.


We found out Kaiya is still a little too young for the museum, maybe in a couple months when she is walking it will be better. But anyway, it was their 11th year birthday party so we went to see the museum and participate in the party.
They had games for the kids to play, a person playing guitar for the kids. Kaiya enjoyed watching the other kids and listening to the music.
For their birthday cake, they had dilly bars. Josh and I got one but we didn't get one for Kaiya, she was going to share with me. So I bit into it and then let her take a bite - that was the end of it. OMG, she absolutely LOVED it, she started grabbing it with both hands and her eyes got wide and she just mowed down!! So then, after her and I shared it, it was gone - and that did not make Kaiya a happy camper as you can tell from the pictures below!!





It was seriously the cutest thing, the pout face over the ice cream being gone!!
