Day out with Thomas

It has been a fun week for Nathan and Jack. We spent the whole week-from Sunday night until Saturday night at Josh's parents' house and the boys had a blast. The highlight of the trip-and the main reason we went up there-was Day Out with Thomas in Green Bay yesterday. We got to ride on "Thomas" (which Nathan quickly figured out was no different than riding on any train except that they had hooked a Thomas engine to the front), the boys got temporary Thomas tattoos, there were bounce houses, a visit from Sir Topham Hat and lots of trains to see and climb on. They really had a lot of fun and I think it is something they will remember for years to come.

Other than that, while we were in Neenah we went to several parks including one that has all kinds of fountains and squirty toys to play in/with, went to a bounce house (I bounced too and had a ton of fun but was suprised how exhausted I was when it was over), did slip n slide in the backyard, went to see the Horton movie (if you haven't seen it yet don't) and just played with Grandma and Grandpa. Poor Josh was just writing his thesis during all of this (other than the Thomas adventures-he did get to join in on those).

Wisconsin has had way too much rain meaning there is flooding all over. Luckily Madison hasn't really had flooding although the farm fields look more like lakes right now than fields. But driving home from Neenah it was amazing to see the water everywhere. There was one part of the road that we drove over that had water just pouring across it. It was closed earlier in the day but had opened and had police officers on either side of the water monitoring it.

Oh, the other big news is that Josh got a Wii for his birthday! We celebrated his birthday a little early while were in Neenah. So we have been having fun bowling, creating Miis, etc. We are hoping to prevent a Wii addiction in our house but it could be a little hard!

Here are some pictures from our week of fun:
