Anniversary Weekend

IMG_2468We had a fun and exhausting weekend. Thursday was our 10 year anniversary. Friday night we attended the St. John Lutheran Auction. We had a great time there with some friends. Saturday morning the kids had soccer. That night we went to see Colin Hay perform (listen to the npr concert below!). He was amazing, it was like stand up comedy act between each of his songs. It was a great concert. Sunday we did a hike in the morning with the kids and then sang for Confirmation at church.

We hope everyone had a great weekend. We certainly appreciated all of those who made the trek to celebrate this special day with us.

Milwaukee Spring Break Trip

IMG_2140Friday morning, after getting Zach a prescription for Strep, (Meg had Strep Wednesday) we headed up for our mini-vacation in Milwaukee. We started on the lakefront where we flew kites and went to the Sprecher Brewery where the kids enjoyed soda tastings and Mom and Dad enjoyed the beer :)
On the way to our swanky hotel we stopped to eat at the Comet Cafe which was featured on the Diners Drive-ins and Dive's show.
Sunday we walked along the lakefront before the museums opened. Discovery World was great! We would highly recommend checking out the Tesla show.
We had a really good time and headed home. That night Chris took Zach and some other boys to the Wolves game.
