Three Year Pictures - Take Two

Take two...we tried one last time to capture us in photos to celebrate the fact that we are about to turn three. We headed to Pamperin Park in Green Bay to just explore and the above was the result. This is just us being us here in our world!

Super Rhino

A friend of Mommy's in Arizona sent me this cool cape for my birthday. Mom said by wearing it I would become Super Rhino. After some hesitation, I decided to try it out today, and I think she was right. Thanks Ms. Donna for helping me go super fast here in our world!

Wisconsin Dells

Daddy had a convention at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells so we decided to tag along and take advantage of America's largest indoor water park. We were so excited to go swimming since it has been awhile since we've been in a real pool. No one told me that there would be cannons shooting water at us and water falls around every corner trying to douse us with water. Don't get me wrong I loved the water park. My favorite was the water guns where I got to shoot everyone else with water, but when it came to my head getting wet I wasn't thrilled to say the least. Lily on the other hand didn't care what part of her body got wet. She begged Daddy to go through the waterfalls while we floated down the lazy river, and she went down every water slide they'd let her on which was shockingly quite a few considering she isn't the tallest girl in the world. After a few hours Mommy gave me a gentle shove down one of the water slides...I smiled the whole way down, and managed to go down two more times on my own accord, but that was enough for me. I stuck to the swings and had a front row seat to Lily plummeting again and again down all the water slides. The life guards couldn't believe how fearless she was, and Daddy got quite a workout climbing all the stairs so many times. After all that fun we worked up quite an appetite and enjoyed a great dinner with a bunch of moose...literally. We had a fun few days, but we're glad to be back with Wrigs in our red house in Macaroni and Cheese (what we affectionately call Mequon)!

1 Year Anniversary

It has been officially one year since we moved into our home in Wisconsin. Not a lot has changed in our lives except for the fact that we've grown a few inches. The only changes to the house have been a new Franklin stove, a new swing set, and the removal of a 100+ year old Elm tree that sat right outside our front door. We know Mommy and Daddy miss Arizona, and it is sad to say that outside of a few friends, we don't remember much from our time there. We do remember much of the last year here in Wisconsin though, and hope to make many more memories with our family and new friends. We definitely feel at home here in our world!

Pumpkin Farm

Another beautiful day, another fun adventure. We decided to dress in our Halloween best and head to Germantown to visit Jim's Pumpkin Farm. We have no idea who Jim is, but his farm sure was fun. He had a giant corn maze that we liked so much we had to go through it twice. Lots of our friends were in the maze too like Mickey Mouse, The Cat in the Hat, and Elmo. They must have heard we were coming! There was a giant hay box...picture a sand box, but filled with hay. We got a little crazy in there so much so that Lily got hay in her pants and couldn't smile for pictures until Mommy got it out. We loved riding around in the wagon and picking out pumpkins. We of course started loading up the wagon with all the ones we could carry, but Mom explained that we only got to pick two each. We went for the smallest ones we could find, and then Daddy found a big one for us to carve. Mom picked out a few gourds to make it all look beautiful, and then we had to say good-bye to the pumpkin farm until next year. October is off to a spooktacular start here in our world!

Corny Critters

Today we enjoyed what is likely to be one of our last 80 degree days of the year. We've been asking Mom to paint again so we took it outside and created some corny critters. We're getting pretty good with a brush these days and stayed inside the lines (almost) all by ourselves. The hardest part was drawing a face. Lily was bitter over not getting to paint her critter pink so Mom let her draw a pink face and I of course picked orange. The circles for the eyes and nose weren't too bad, by the smiley face was tough for both of us. We did it though and after gluing on the arms and legs we were able to proudly display our works of art in the playroom. You may be looking at the next Picasso or Michelangelo here in our world!

Red and Blue Make Purple

Red and blue make purple...that was the lesson learned at zoo class today. I insisted upon having a purple horse, and there was no purple paint to be found so the nice teacher taught me that if I mixed red and blue together I would get purple. Genius! After class I got to choose the location for lunch again and of course I wanted a quesadilla. Daddy insisted we find a new place to go though which was fine by me as long as I got my quesadilla. We almost had a catastrophe when we found out the restaurant didn't have milk, and for those of you who know me, I LOVE my milk. I survived though because Daddy ordered me Horchata (rice milk), and it was yummy! Another successful class is in the books and the Spring schedule is out. It will be elephants for me and seals for Ryan.
