The Halyburtons

On Sunday, we went to visit my brother at his new apartment in Stoughton. It was great to see him again and the kids just adore him. After the long car ride, the kids had a lot of energy to burn off so we let them run around outside. The weather was great; not too hot! Here are a few photos of us all having fun!

You cannot live in Wisconsin and not go to the State Fair, especially when you have children that love looking at animals! Brian took the day off of work on Friday to take us to the fair and it was such fun! We went into every animal barn we could find and stayed as far away from all the rides and games as we could! :)

Lexi and I went on the Sky Glider. She thought it was so cool to see everything from so high up! She was pointing at everything she saw and telling me what it was; it was great! (If it looks like Lexi's teeth and lips are blue, it's because they are! She had just finished a blue sno-cone before we got on the ride!)

Last Thursday night, Brian was out to dinner with customer so it was just the kids and I! They were so good all day and into the evening that I gave them each a chocolate chip cookie before bed. They were so cute, I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them!

We took the kids to Grandma Halyburton's house in Three Lakes this weekend! We arrived Friday morning and left Sunday afternoon. Jack was having a hard time sleeping on Friday night and was up very early Saturday morning so we sat outside on the deck to play while everyone else slept. He would just stand there, point out and say, "lake" or "boat". It was pretty cute!
Brian and the kids spent some time in the lake on Saturday. He took both of them on separate rides in the wave-runner, which they love more than swimming! While Jack was taking a nap, Lexi and I played in the sandbox and colored in her books outside. By the time we were all ready for dinner, Lexi was pretty tired! You will be able to see that in the last picture! Sweet, tired girl! :)
