August

Where did the month of August go??

We managed to make it back "home" to Wisconsin for almost 2 weeks.  We enjoyed lots of "cousin time" and enjoyed the cooler weather.

The boys had their 1st sleepover with Logan.  They all slept through the night and even slept in!

Ben & I got to catch a Brewers game with Nick, Jen & Baby Gabe.  We really enjoyed our break from the boys and seeing the Brewers win. 

The boys were busy on a train ride with MaJ & PaJ.  They took the train from Fox Lake to Union Station downtown Chicago.  I need to get some of those pictures to add here.  They still talk about that train ride!!

The Kenosha County Fair came and went while we were visiting.  The boys loved the routine of walking the fairgrounds to see what was getting set up.  When the fair finally began, they were very eager to check out the rides.  The Grandparents were great sports and did so many of the rides with them.



The boys loved seeing the animals and especially liked going to the petting area where they were able to hold baby chicks and pet the goats, a baby cow and a baby horse.  We went back almost every day!

We were able to attend the Hess' (Emmy & Zac) Annual August get together and on the way home, we saw a great rainbow in the sky.  It was even a double although very faint.  It was the boys first time seeing a rainbow.  They were very excited and named the colors over and over again.



It was a great visit!

However, the boys & I were very happy to get home to "Daddy." 

We spent a little time Sunday afternoon at the Bowling Alley on post.  The boys were so excited when we pulled up.  They only played one game while Ben and I watched but it was a lot entertainment!
