Pictures from Today

We went to the Retzer Nature Center in Waukesha today. We had never been there before. It was just Isabel & mommy on this little field trip. We had a nature center we liked to visit in MN and I was hoping this would be as fun. It was different, but just as fun. This one has a big aquarium with lots of fish. She loved that. And some smaller aqauriums with other creatures (snakes, gerbils, doves, walking stick, frogs & turtles.) They also had lots of "stuffed" animals to look at, a display or rocks that you could touch, many of which had fossil imprints, this little area that represented the root systems of many different plants (I thought that was kinda neat) and a whole area of things that they could pick up, touch & feel. We were there for 45 minutes. They have really nice looking trails and once it gets warmer I think we'll walk the trails a bit & then hang out looking at everything inside. They also had an outdoor picnic area, which could be fun. Next door (within the same building) is the planetarium. We didn't go there, but we'll check that out some other time. Another thing that is awesome about this place is that it is free to attend and park and it's really not too far of a drive from our house. We will definitly be back.

BTW - sorry about the pics. I forgot my camera and just had to use my camera phone.

Cousin Blake

Isn't He Cute!

His daddy sent out this picture today. Apparently he is learning to play solitaire already.

Most of our plans this week have changed due to illness (not ours though) or crappy weather. We did go swimming last night and she loved that. We were practicing her jumping in. I would count to three, but she always jumped in at 2. She was not afraid at all. And she is getting good and moving her arms in the water. We are still working on kicking her feet. She likes to kick her feet when we have her swimming on her back.

Tomorrow, if all goes as planned, mommy will have her class, then Isabel will have her class and then to an appt. and finally in the evening we will go to a pajama storytime at the bookstore. That's a nice little storytime.
