Spring is here!

We finally got a full sized basketball hoop. It's nice because it's adjustable so we can keep it a little lower for now. Joey and Sam are both having a blast playing...and John too!



We went to Play N Wisconsin before Spring really came. 


Joey's favorite spot there...
This was a new room since the last time we were there, and the boys loved throwing the footballs and catching them.


Joey came outside to "help" shovel. Can you see him?



We had a halfway decent weekend outside so we went to the park in Monroe. Grandma bought Joey and Sam each a little character, and Joey was throwing and catching it and it landed on one of the roofs on the playset. I had to get the basketball that was in the trunk and keep throwing it up there until it finally knocked it back down!


For Scouts, they had the Herpetologist association come in and show some snakes and geckos.




Joey had a music program at school. They sang a few songs.




We went to see Maebel and Uncle Jay and then went to Lego Club at Aunt Amanda's library since she was working. We had fun building our sets while Maebel slept in the car.



When she woke up, Joey had fun taking her around.


Sam put on a puppet show for her.


We went to see the Taiwan Puppet Troupe at Kids in the Rotunda.



I got a new swing for outside for my birthday, and John put it together before the weather started getting nice, so on the first nice day after that, the boys and I tried it out! We love it!


Sam started swim lessons in the indoor, warm water. He has only had 2 lessons but is already dunking his head under and was floating on his back on his own for a few seconds.



We went to Easter Camp at G&G Hyland's church, and it was a beautiful day! After we got back, we played a long game of baseball.



Sam got kind of bored with the baseball and took off riding the wagon down the hill.


For Spring break, we went to Country Springs hotel for a night. We went to the waterpark of course and then went to Pewaukee Lake to get some ice cream and walk around a little bit. It was very windy as you can tell from the picture.


Sam and Joey found a big hole.


The arcade was a hit as usual, but it was HOT in there!


We had breakfast at the Machine Shed. John was being silly :)


Joey is so at home in the water park now. He went down all of the slides by himself.



Sam did the most stuff this time. He went down all but one of the slides and loved them.





For one of the last nights of Spring break, we went mini golfing. This was the first time at a big course (we went to Vitense). It was a good thing it was chilly outside, and the outdoor course was pretty empty because we were LOUD and SILLY, but we all had a blast.




At the end 3 of us got our balls in the hole to get a free game of golf so we will be going back!!
