Good times in Waukesha

Thank you so much to Matthias and Kathryn for the superb hospitality this past weekend for our stay there! We saw the many sights of Waukesha and Milwaukee, all in one packed weekend.
Their townhome is four levels high and Henry loved the stairs of course, saying "up" on every step he climbed up and "down" on every step he went down. Here's the view looking down.

The Waukesha public library has it goin' on for the kiddos. I would absolutely love to have that library within walking distance of our house! So much fun to be had there.....as you can see.....

h is for henry





It was probably the coldest day of the year, so we couldn't resist stopping for some hot cocoas after the library!

What would a trip to Milwaukee be without stopping at Thriller Park, I mean Miller Park.

Henry was NOT a fan of the Bronze Fonz, not one bit! He got a few feet away from him and started saying "bubye, bubye" and waving pretty fast, almost with this look of disgust on his face. He couldn't get away from that Fonz fast enough.

After seeing some sights, we adults were getting a little thirsty, so we headed to an Irish pub for a happy hour drink. Henry sure didn't mind that it was Single's Night there, too bad he was in bed long before Single's Night even began :(

On Sunday morning after church, we went on a little walk just down the road to the fire station. Henry got to hear a few of the sirens over the weekend, and always wanted "more, more" firetrucks. The Waukesha firemen were too good to Henry, inviting him to sit in the firetruck (no thank you, however, too scared), turning on the lights for him, giving him his own fire chief hat and sticker-badge. Big smiles here, can't even keep his eyes open he's squinting so hard!

A little too big, we'll have to grow into this one.
Thank you again, Richter's, for the fun-filled weekend, delicious food, Wii dancing, and lovely company.....can't wait to do it again :)
