COWS

So I am slightly late with this post. Madi and Drew have this great fascination of feeding farm animals... so in the fall when we go visit the relatives in northern Wisconsin, we see what the neighbors of Marty's aunt has to feed. 2 years ago it was a horse and he ate apples. Last year it was a couple of cows and they fed them corn. This year there were cows again and we tried out the apples on them. We even added in a few pears too. It again was great fun with a lot of good giggles. Here are Madi and Drew petting the baby cow.

Drew actually attempted to hand this one to the cow. He usually threw them (yes.... he did knock one of the cows on the head) or he would drop them as soon as they got close.

Here Madi got to feed the baby cow an apple. Of course everyone wanted to hold out for the baby. :-)

Fall Wedding in Wisconsin

We went to a wedding this past weekend in northern Wisconsin.... Fall in Wisconsin is always beautiful with the leaves all changing colors and all. I, personally, love the opportunity to throw my jeans and a sweatshirt on -- it is most definitely my outfit of choice. What we weren't quite ready to hit yet this October was SNOW. We literally crossed the Minnesota/Wisconsin border into Wisconsin and the ground was covered. They had just gotten a pretty good storm a few hours before we arrived. Madi and Drew were asleep when we got there but were super excited when they looked out the window the next morning!!! They went and stepped in it and threw snowballs into the parking lot. They even made it snow on daddy a little. Madi's biggest excitement was eating the snow.... By the time I actually had the camera out... most of the snow had melted. Here are the kiddos throwing snowballs in October...

... and all ready to go

Warm and snuggly inside. The kiddos all ready for the wedding! Thanks Katie for Drew's look!

Playing in the Rain!

I don't even remember what weekend this was... but the kids were excited to get out and into the rain to play. They raced boats down the rushing water in the street, splashed around in the puddles and just had a blast getting soaked.

Here are my happy, wet kiddos.
