The Zoo!

We made our annual trip to the Milwaukee Zoo the other weekend and we also visited Lake Michigan.

We had the perfect weather for the day as well.  Rhoslyn was really into the different animals this year.  She enjoyed feeding the goats and the train ride.  Alex pretty much loved everything!  We let the kids pick out one thing out of the gift shop and they both picked out stuffed animals.  Alex picked out a bald eagle which he was totally glued to for at least 2-3 days after our zoo trip.  Rhoslyn picked out a cheetah which she claims is baby Jaguar (just like Go Diego Go).

After the zoo we decided to make a pit stop down by the lake before heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We weren't really prepared for it, so the kids had pants and shoes on.  We just took their socks and shoes off and rolled up their pants.  Rhoslyn wasn't too sure what to think about the waves.  Alex loved it!  They both found some pretty big sticks to play with.  Alex kept trying to write in the sand and then a big wave would come by and wash it away.  He thought it was hilarious!  Rhoslyn was more about the sand (it's so soft) than anything.

We definitely need to go down to the lake more often.  Afterwards we headed over to Gma's and Gpa's house for dinner and a sleep over.  Overall it was a great weekend.  Oh, and Tucker spent his first overnight-er at a dog kennel.  We were told he was great and didn't make a peep.  He was SO excited to see us when we came to get him.
