Wisconsin Trip

Last week we visited our friends, The Chrysts, in Wisconsin.  Here are a few pics.

 Both girls zonked out in the car on the way there.

 The Chrysts had gifts for the girls.  Helena helped Eva open hers.

 Eva got a dolly like the one the Chrysts made for Lena when she was about the same age.

 Eva's first pair of shades!

 Brenda and the girls made these adorable plush fruits and vegetables.  They're so cute!

 Lena's turn.  Her hair is wet because she just had a shower.

 She got a creation ball.  Neat!  It teaches the order of creation.

 The Chrysts were dogsitting this dog named Harley.  Lena loved  Harley and was either in her face or trying to lay on her back the whole time we were there.

 Eva in her jammies.

 Whenever our families get together, I like to get a pic of all five girls.  This one is amazing!  All five girls are actually looking at the camera AND SMILING!  Incredible!

 On Friday evening, Tom and Brenda watched our girls while Jim and I went to see the Cardinals play the Brewers at Miller Park in Milwaukee.  Sadly, the Cardinals lost (were shut out, in fact), but we still had fun at the game.

 We had great seats.  We were behind the Cardinals dugout and up a level.

 The racing sausages.

On the way home, we stopped in Hammond, Indiana, to get some lunch.  We drove by this oddly-shaped welcome center and Lena called it a banana igloo.

We had so much fun visiting the Chrysts.  They are always so welcoming and accommodating; we feel right at home there.  It was so nice of them to feed us, let us sleep in their room, watch our girls, and let us invade their house for three days!  Can't wait to see you guys again.
