We had a fun time in Wisconsin this weekend. On Thursday we drove up to Racine where our friends, the Chrysts, live. On Friday evening, Tom and Brenda watched Lena while Jim and I went to Milwaukee (about 40 mins away) to see the Cardinals play the Brewers. Here are a few pics.

She got a bunch of fun outside toys to play with.
She had fun with the pinwheel.

Indoors fireworks! Neat!
Even though Jim isn't into baseball like I am, he always enjoys attending games with me. It was nice to have an evening out together.
The game was really fun. Throughout most of the game, the Cardinals were down by a run. In the top of the 9th inning, all of the Brewers fans stood up because they thought the game was going to be over in a matter of minutes. The Brewers brought out their closing pitcher to much fanfare and hoopla; more than I had ever seen for a closing pitcher before. He struck out the first batter, but walked the second. Then the Cardinals pinch hitter, Stavinoha, hit a home run, scoring two runs and putting the Cardinals ahead. It was so funny to watch the Brewers fans have to sit back down again because the game wasn't over yet! The Brewers failed to score any runs in the bottom of the 9th, so the Cardinals won 5-4.
We had a great time, but that will have to be the last car trip we take until after this baby is born (besides a trip to Indiana for Hilary's baby shower). Riding in the car for that long (5-6 hours) was really hard on me physically and was quite painful on my hip. So we will be spending the rest of the time waiting for Baby getting the house ready for her and doing fun things in Middleville.
