Wisconsin State Fair and Zoo

This past week we went to the Wisconsin State Fair with Paul's side of the family. Its a tradition they have done for years and is always so much fun. Of course bringing kids now is a lot different then when we went and drank beer all day. I do have to say everytime we go there is something new that is fried. This year I noticed Fried Oreos...unbelievable!! Jake talked everyone into going down the giant slide with him..he went down 4 or 5 times and Nick went once. Nick indulged in some vanilla ice cream which he grabbed out of Jakes hands..he must have known it was something good because he really isn't taking to a lot of people food.

My sister and me took the boys to Brookfield zoo on Thursday and they were really funny together. They held hands most of the time and looked at their map every chance they could to let us know where we were. It was really cute.

Pump it up!!

A couple weeks ago we took the boys to pump it up. Jake's a pro but this was Nicholas' first time. When we walked into the room the jumpee's must have been too overwhelming for him because he was crying so hard..then he would open his eyes..look around and then cry again really hard. I took him over to touch the jumpee's so he wasn't afraid. He seemed to warm up a bit so Paul put him down in the kiddie jumpee and he freaked out..I don't think I have ever heard him cry so hard. After watching Jake some more he wanted to join in and loved it. Everytime we go there Jake spends half the time riding around in these police cars..in which he already has one at home.
