Wisconsin

More Wisconsin bliss. . . Mommy and Lucy sitting on the dock over looking the lake.
Papa took Lucy on for a very special breakfast date at a local coffee shop, where she had a hot cocoa, spent time with her Papa, and came home with 2 Slinkies, one for her, and one for Rosie.
Thanks Papa!

What a wonderful week!

Eagle River, Wisconsin

We've had a wonderful week here in Eagle River, Wisconsin! My grandparents gave us their wonderful cabin for the week, so Simon's parents, Lucy, and I traveled "Up North" to spend some time together! We had a wonderful time! Lucy and Dada played together with her new tractor.
It was very funny!
Nana and Lucy spent some time swinging on the swing.
Papa Hunt drove us around on the boat.
What a great week! Thanks for everything! Can't wait to do it again soon.

Chicago! Chicago! That toddler town!

We met Simon's parents in Chicago last week for two fun-filled days and nights in the Windy City! We hit Navy Pier, took an architectural river tour, and ate some great Chicago food.
At Navy Pier!
The gang on their way to the river tour.
Lucy on the boat for the river tour (or "ride" as she referred to it. This is about one second before she fell fast asleep.)
Simon and Erin at the restaurant where Obama announced his candidacy for president. Coincidentally, it's also the restaurant where Lucy threw up maraschino cherries all over the veranda.

What is Lucy laughing at in this video?

Is it:
a. Mommy's funny faces?
b. The fact that Mommy gave her leftover Chinese food and an Activia for dinner?
c. The dog that keeps snorting and/or choking off camera?
d. The excitement of knowing she's flying to Chicago on Wednesday?

Perhaps we'll never know!

Kitchen home improvement

Guess which Hunt family member spent the day spray painting the kitchen cabinets black!!! Was it this Hunt?
Or this Hunt? Still stumped? A few more clues:
Was it this guy?
Or this guy?

Chances are, you've guessed correctly. The real question is, is having fabulous modern kitchen cabinets worth black lung?

Evening with Dada

A Day at Irvine Park

We had an incredible day today at the Irvine Park! Heather, Rosie, Lucy, and I had a picnic lunch within sight of the horses. We then went to the zoo where all the animals were particularly alert, maybe due to the cold weather! The favorite part of the zoo, however, was certainly the GOATS.
For a mere .25, you can buy your very own handful of goat feed. Lucy was thrilled to feed the goats, one grain at a time!
Next, Lucy and Rosie picked out goat brushes and proceeded to brush each and every goat to a soft, silky sheen.
Auntie Hezzie held Lucy up to get a better vantage point.

Finally, we took a train ride around the entire park. It was a beautiful day!
