Labor Day Recap

We had a nice weekend at home. No visitors, no set plans, there were actually moments when I was bored. On Friday morning we all went to the State Fair, ate some cheese curds, huge bucket of chocolate chip cookies, and lots of milk. Our new tradition: go to Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar, pay $14 for a pail of cookies, then walk a few blocks to the All You Can Drink Milk barn, pay $1 for as much ice cold milk you can drink, then pig out. Mmmmmm. We also watched a magic show (lame), toured the "Little Farm Hands" exhibit (fun for Kaia), and went to the Miracle of Birth Center to see all the baby animals. We got to see a cow and calf just after giving birth. Kaia took a look at the cow's afterbirth and said "That one's bleeding, Daddy" but it didn't seem to bother her. Then Kaia and Mike watched a pig giving birth. Again, didn't seem to bother her, "Here comes another one, Daddy!". I guess it will be easier to explain where babies come from when she finally springs that question on us!

The rest of the weekend was spent golfing, garage sailing, playing The Newlywed game, playing at parks, bike riding, playing poker, watching movies, shopping, frisbee golfing, and waiting for the Hemmila baby to arrive. He/she is a week late already!

Here are some pictures of the girls during playtime. They are SO silly...must take after Mike...


Yup, she's sitting in the bin.

And apparently eating something very delicious from the cup...a malt perhaps?

Kaia reading to her Care Bear. She's been pretending A LOT lately. And she's been obsessed with Care Bears, we've got a collection started.

Hey Kaia, smile for the camera. Frrrnt!
