Sunday at Brookfield

With some encouraging from Michael, we went to Brookfield today. As Michael pointed out a whole lot is going to change in 7 weeks and we really need to do as much as we can with Iggy now. It ended up being a great time and my ankles didn't swell as much as I expected. 

Encouraging the crowd to get excited for the dolphin show

A certain someone was scared of the wave crashing inside the penguin house.

I think he shares his father's love of dolphins. 

Top of the morning to ya

Our hat appreciate continued just long enough for a photo shoot of Iggy wearing his gift from Ireland. 

I mean seriously this face could melt any heart. 

Finally!

We got him to wear a hat. Well it lasted all of five minutes, but it's a start. 

Friday funday with the twins

Melissa and the twins watched Iggy on Friday since daycare was closed. He had a great time. Plus it was nice for me to drop him off and not have him hysterically cry and come running up to me crying when I picked him up. Needless to say the first week back at daycare hasn't been easy. 

I've never seen his thighs look so juicy.

Ignatius stayed warm in the hot tub, but really wanted to roam free with his cousins. 

Beep beep

Sob

Depressing knowing there's not many pool days left ahead.

Such a ham for the camera

Best friends reunited

I don't think it gets any sweeter than a boy kissing his pup after a week apart.

Then he terrorizes him by climbing on for a ride.

What are you looking at?

Is there something on my face?

Minocqua

These three definitely enjoyed sitting next to each other at Otto's

Iggy only got comfortable on the boat when we took the life jacket off. Don't worry I made sure my hand was constantly grasping his shirt. 

Iggy and Frank

Olivia loves giving Iggy hugs. 

Nothing like having two loving cousins cooing over you while stuck in a cage.

Ignatius has really shown a fondness for babies...

...And for trying to pull their noses off.

Leo taking it all in

Perfection

The whole gang, minus three kiddos, and of course UT. Definitely teary eyed while taking this picture, Minocqua won't be the same.

Land O Lakes

Welcome to the Northern Woods

Picture perfect

Ignatius gives his best impersonation of the polar bear

He was definitely entertained by Mr. Lowenstine's collection of animals.  

Just your average mealtime, trying to feed five kids six and under.

I'm just surprised they all managed to stay seated.
