We all loved our trip to the Omaha Zoo. Here is Maverick in front of the penquin aquarium.
Beware of lions....
After a short visit, we left Daddy in Omaha to work and headed to Wisconsin! (I actually had a work training downtown Minneapolis, so it was a perfect excuse to visit!)
Mom, Aunt Kel and I took a trip the boys on a little pumpkin farm.
One morning, Mitchell entered my bedroom at 6:30am and said...
Mitchell "Mommy, wake up. I have a surprise for you."
Me "Good morning, Mitchell. What do you have...as I groggily held out my hand."
Mitchell took whatever was in his hand and put it in mine, but it was dark and I couldn't see it.
Me "What is it?"
Mitchell "A beetle bug"
Oh, the joys of parenting boys..... :)
The weather was nice enough to wash cars in November! Grandpa volunteered to watch the boys while I attended my training. Thanks again!
Mitchell really wanted to bring Grandma with us when we left. He even asked Grandpa's permission, but unfortunately we had to leave her there :)
We had a great time and the boys were surprisingly good on the long drives! They have begun wrestling with each other lately. Here they are burning off some energy at a rest stop park on the way home.

Those boys are so special, each in their own way. Mitchell is so much fun to talk to. You can see the wheels turning in his head as he tries to understand everything! I think this phase where we likes to be scared (but not really) is wonderful. And little Maverick is a gem. He has quite the personality!! And he became so fond of Grandpa, he literally started crawling all over the house, following him. Mandi, Thanks so much for making the visit. We are such lucky Grandparents!
Wow, you're a super mom for driving all that way by yourself with the boys!
