Vacation Highlight- Just Pictures

This is my last post about our vacation highlights I promise.  I'm sharing some of my favorite pictures from the week.

I swear this was the very first picture I took on our trip and it's one of my favorites:

I think Grandma Marge looks beautiful in this picture.  She is the sweetest old lady I know.

Here comes the adorable James.  Here's his one year old photo Annie:

Vacation Highlight- Shark Fishing

It's been an inside joke between Dave and I that I want to go shark fishing.  Last year when I caught my first northern I was actually doing a "here, sharky, sharky" cheer.  We figure besides muskie or northern fishing charter fishing for salmon and trout on Lake Michigan was as close as we were going to get to shark fishing in fresh water.  So Tuesday morning we woke up at 3 AM with Titus and Grandpa Bob to go fishing.  I caught the first fish before sunrise and from there we took turns reeling in the fish.  We caught 11 all together and our freezers will be full of fresh salmon and trout for months to come.

Titus is not a fan of water and can't swim, so getting him on the boat was an extra treat, even if it meant he had to wear a big orange PFD. 

And look a rare picture of me and the hubs.  We were probably the most well adjusted after only getting 4 hours of sleep... I wonder why {side eyes Eli}.

Vacation Highlight- Bay Beach

25 cents will buy a ticket for a kiddie ride at Bay Beach a public amusement park in Green Bay.  And seeing my son and nephew ride round and round on kiddie rides was worth more than 25 cents a ride.  Especially on the ride where James got scared so we told Adam to hold his hand and he did! 

 

4 Month Check Up

Please stop- how can my little itty baby be 4 months old?  And we're attempting to potty train my toddler.  AND I go back to work in three weeks- three looooong weeks I keep telling myself.

Yesterday we took Eli to the doctor and I thought for sure he would be taller and weigh more than Adam did at 4 months.  Well I couldn't have been more wrong- they were exactly the same height and Eli's about a half pound lighter.  24.5 inches (36%), 14 pounds 6 oz (42%) and 17 inch diameter head (76%). 

As of last week Eli can roll from his back to his belly.  He almost prefers to be on his belly so that he can lift his head up and watch his brother run around.  He is such a drool machine.  I'm afraid his first tooth will come in soon. 

Vacation Highligh- My Two Goats

On Monday we drove up to Door County and went to a petting zoo.  As soon as we walked out on to the farm a goat came running.  Adam stood there with a huge smile on his face and proclaimed the goat was his and when a second one ran up he said, "my two goats, my two goats, mommy." 

He also got to hold a chick and he was very gentle with him.  James liked the animals too, but just from a little further distance than Adam.
