June 3: In the hustle and bustle to get ready in the morning, Livie was left alone long enough to discover the Kleenex box.
June 6: We went to a few garage sales in the early afternoon and then ran some errands. Shaun bartended at the church festival at night.
June 7: We went to church, then to the Dairy Breakfast. Tavin wanted to race tractors but he isn't old enough. He had fun doing the other activities. Livie was less then enthused as she was ready for a nap. We went home so Livie could take a nap. The weather was awful so we turned on a movie for Tavin. Around 12:30 we woke Livie up from her nap and went to the church festival for lunch. After lunch we played games, did a little dancing, played the shortest game of bingo ever, and tried our luck at some raffles.
June 10: Went running with Tavin in the morning. I spit once and he said "Daddy do that. All.the.time!" while shaking his head. It was so funny!
June 11: My birthday! Keith and Syd were coming over to go out to eat. Was surprised when Mom, Dad, Ang, and Quinton were also there! Best surprise ever!
June 13: We went to a church garage sale in the morning. Proceeded home to take Daisy to the vet and let Livie nap. When we got home Daisy was MIA. It took us like 15 minutes to find her which in turn made me late to the appointment. So in a hurry to get to the appointment, I rush out the door with Tavin and Daisy (in the pet carrier). I put the carrier down to help get Tavin in, When I pick up the carrier it opens up, and Daisy goes running. I catch Daisy through her in the car and hop in myself. I then realize I don't have keys. I run back inside to get them. Get back out to the car and realize I forgot Tavin's snack. Run back in and get that. I am finally ready to drive away and before I get a block I hear "Mom you forgot to buckle me in". Wow! Complete mom fail there! Thank goodness for an honest toddler! After the vet, Tavin and I ran a few errands and the headed home for lunch. They both went down for a nap before we had to leave for the wedding.
June 16: We packed a picnic supper and went to the Splash Pad. Tavin had been asking for several weeks to go swimming. It was rather cold but the kids had fun. Tavin insisted we ride the train again. We also walked to another area in the park to see some people getting horse
June 19: We went to the Summer kick off. Wasn't as great as I thought it would be, but Tavin still had fun!
June 20: Livie has finally caught on to signing. It's cute because she can only do more so she will do it when she wants to nurse before bed.
June 21-22: We went to the Dells for a mini trip. My parents had won a one night stay at Chula Vista so we made use of it. We left home around 10 and got to the Dells for lunch at Buffalo Phil's. Tavin thoroughly enjoyed the train!
After lunch we did the Ducks tour. So interesting to see the different areas of the Dells. After that we headed to the hotel and did some swimming. Tavin now has a new found love of water slides! For supper we went to a pizza place that had good reviews. It was ok pizza, not as great as the reviews had made it seem.
Monday morning we called Papa quick to wish him a belated Happy Father's Day.
Then we went to Paul Bunyan's for breakfast. By far the best tasting meal! After breakfast we went back to the resort and did the indoor park (it was raining outside). Tavin was doing great until it was time to go. Then hunger and tired kicked in. Before leaving, we played a little in the arcade and did some picture snapshots.
For lunch we went to Macs. It was a very interesting concept and delicious. Would definitely go back!
After lunch we drove home. When we got home we put both kids down for a nap and cleaned up a bit. When they woke up we went to Shaun's company's outing at the Woodchucks game. Tavin had fun meeting Woody (and getting his hat signed!). Shaun was also pretty lucky as he won Packer's tickets to a pre-season game!
June 27: Both kids have discovered the joy of washing dishes
June 28: We went to Shaun's grandparent's old house for the day as they were spreading his Grandpa's ashes. It was quite the day! Livie and Tavin did well despite Livie not having napped on the way up. After leaving, Livie fell asleep immediately and we went to Culver's and Tavin got ice cream with a bunch of sprinkles!
