On Tuesday we enjoyed a nice low key day. Matt & Brian went to work for most of the day and Lexie and I cleaned up the house and chatted while the kids played.
On the way home from work, Brian & Matt got rear-ended. They were fine but the car got smashed in the back pretty good and totalled it.
Reading books. They sure love their Uncle Brian.
On Wednesday morning we had a tornado warning first thing so we enjoyed some cereal and games in the basement.
After work for the dad's and naps for the littles, we went to Ella's Deli for ice cream and a carousel ride.
This is the ice cream I chose- It had everything!
Ava & Nora got their favorite cotton candy treats.
Then we went to the Madison Public Library. It was so fun to relax and chill with some books.
When we came home Matt whipped up some creamy noodles, grilled chicken and broccoli. Then the boys played the Wii and the girls had a tea party and watched An American Girl movie called Saige.
With 8 kids and 4 adults in the house we did so well sharing one bathroom!
On Thursday
Sophie & Ava were putting clothes on Scooter and laughing so hard.
More games.
I picked up Matt & Brian from the library and they quickly found some good reading to be in the picture.
For lunch Matt & I got to go on a date! We went to a burger place called Dotty's near campus and ate some crazy good burgers.
That afternoon Lexie & I walked to a couple nearby parks.
Sophie & Isaac- such good buddies!
That night we watched the classic "Dennis the Menace" movie with popcorn. We got the kids to bed and played Heads up Charades & QuizUp.
On Friday we got to visit campus and get some ice cream.
Then we went on a nature walk to Picnic Point. It was so pretty and there were so many little frogs all over the kids had fun catching.
Isaac totally fell asleep like this on the walk back!
Nora & Ava loved to 'craft' together and had a craft sale one afternoon. Sophie didn't really want to be part of the action but definitely wanted some of the money.
Happy boys with their technology.
On the last night we had a good game of Ticket to Ride.
On Saturday morning we walked to another awesome, nearby park and passed Owen road on the way!
While we were there it rained on us!
These boys were sure cute together.
Cousins are the best! We are so glad we got to reconnect and be able to spend time together! Love you guys!
As we were driving away after saying goodbye with some tears Owen said the thing he'd miss most is having Miles to play with all the time. And the next day as Ava was doing her rainbow loom she sadly said, "I wish I had Nora here to help me!"
The travel home went smoothly.
Lily was pretty energetic most of the way but happy and we survived.
And Isaac got a little nap in.
Sure love these kids and glad we got to make some memories on a wonderful family vacation!
