Eco Tri
Every year, I post lots of action shots of the boys, Brian, Tony and Jon, participating in the Eco Tri. This year, I brought my camera but never took it out of the bag! Thank goodness for my wonderful in-laws who take great pictures! Take a look at my sister in law Mindy's blog to see how great our day was!

Milwaukee
We arrived in Milwaukee Friday evening. We had some supper with Kelly and bummed around a few shops. When we got back to the hotel, Charlie wanted to snuggle with me in my bed. He fell right to sleep! He hasn't done this since he was tiny! It was so fun to hold him like that. I did eventually put him in his crib, but I held onto that moment as long as I could.
Saturday morning was spent touring around downtown Milwaukee. The big stop with Betty Brinn Children's Museum. It was AWESOME!
My pictures are a little jumbled in order, so I'll just explain them all.

Looking out at the art museum on Lake Michigan. Beautiful!
Driving bus at the museum
Selfie in front of art museum
The only way I could get him to lay still for a minute. A little Elmo on the iPad. First time I've ever used technology to aid me!
Ready to start our day in Milwaukee!
Awesome Harley area at the children's museum
Kelly had fun too!
Playing in a little play area for toddlers
Sorting veggies
Ball exhibit
Watching the ducks on Lake Michigan
Saturday night we didn't get very good sleep. My son was a little wired from all of our fun! Here he was Sunday morning
and here I was. I was ready to get home and get a good night's sleep!
It was SO much fun to see Kelly and explore her town! I can't wait to go back again!

Tony's Day Off
Every once in a while, Tony has a day off when nothing else is scheduled! We took advantage last week!
Before morning nap, we rode our bikes down to Florence Park. Swinging was a favorite!
After morning nap, we went to Soldier's Field to play for a bit.
Today on Tony's day off, I took advantage and went into school for a bit. Love those little moments of me time!

Cedar Falls
I got a little head of myself with my last post! Last Tuesday, Charlie and I visited my cousin Hannah in Cedar Falls, IA. My aunt Amy and cousins, Meg and Kaylee, joined us.
Charlie was so happy to see Hannah!
We took a tour around UNI's campus and took a selfie in front of the fountain.

The little ones
Hannah cooked us a delicious lunch, and we had a lot of fun touring around town!

LAX & the Dells
This past weekend, Charlie and I went to Milwaukee to visit my friend Kelly! She didn't get off work until 5, so I decided to leave early and make some stops along the way.
Our first stop was in LaCrosse at the Children's Museum. I've been there before with my friend's daughter, so I knew it was going to be a hit with Charlie.
This was where we spent the majority of our time at the museum: the fire truck!
There was a little toddler place. When we first got there, some big kids (who weren't suppose to be in there) were being pretty naughty and knocking Charlie around. After giving my biggest "mom look" and telling them they need to be careful, they found their way to another exhibit!
Charlie then moved onto the Kwik Trip. Here he is in the truck while some other boys are filling it up with gas.
Onto a little shopping
and donut frosting
Now he's checking himself out
Building his own cheese mountain pizza
Downstairs there was a big train track. That kept him busy for a while!
Eventually we moved on. He was asleep before I left downtown LaCrosse! He didn't wake up again until I pulled into the Dells. We stopped for some lunch.
and shopping. There were little mechanical rides around the mall, so Charlie played for a bit. I didn't pay for them to work, but he loved it just the same!
