4th of July 2011!

We went to the fireworks a week ago and I forgot my camera, but she did have a LOVE/HATE relationship with them!  She was terrified while it was happening but has not stopped talking about them since!?!?!?!

We started the day out going to the parade, I once again forgot my camera.

BUT! after the parade I did remember my camera for our trip to the beach!  She did not want to leave the beach and we had SO much fun!  I just LOVE this age!

We had our first family vacation this year and we went to the dells! just the three of us! It was GREAT! We had so much fun and unfortunitly I did not take enough pictures to do it justice but it was great!

MADISON!

One of our favorite places to go has always been Madison farmer's market and state st! We have done this long before O was even born as a Sat tradition, when ever we could!  I just LOVE it there so much! Well, we have continued this tradition with O since she has been born and just this year we happened to get a gift of a season pass to the Madison children's museum, which happens to be right off of the square that we go to anyway.  Well, to sum it up, this place did NOT dissapoint!  WOW! WE all LOVED it so much!  all natural learning, no batteries here! We will def be getting good use out of this gift as I see MANY future trips here!
