Tizu's first trip to Chamberland Park, Kraemer's Dairy, and St. Vinney's

On Thursday, March 19, Courtney and Tizu came to Watertown. Since the weather was nice we took Tizu to Chamberland Park for what I am sure will be the first of many visits. We had so much fun. Tizu especially enjoyed the many slides.
Since Courtney hadn't brought a hat for Tizu (not expecting outdoor activities) I found a hat that Courtney wore when she was just a baby. Fit her perfectly and kept her nice and warm.
While at the park we were joined by four other adults and four children. Of those eight people two of them were black beside Tizu. I think Watertown is becoming more diverse!
After the park we walked over to Kraemer's Dairy for some fresh cheese curds and chocolate milk. Tizu was so thirsty she drank that yummy milk right out of the jug. A girl after her mom's heart. Courtney always drinks the milk right out of the jug. She also enjoyed a few of the fresh curds before we headed over to St. Vinney's for some toy shopping. There is nothing better than buying whatever you want at St. Vinney's and the price is always right.
Here is the cute little riding toy car that Tizu found and just could not live without. Total cost-$3.50. Happy little girl-priceless! She actually rode her little car quite a distance before hopping back into her stroller.
On Friday w went to the Milwaukee Public Museum. John and I have always enjoyed taking our girls and then Mallory to the Museum. Even though a few things have changed we still all have our favorite areas and we were anxious to share them with Tizu. We started out in the butterfly area. Since we arrived early we were in the butterfly area by ourselves. There are hundreds of butterflies of all varieties flying around. Tizu was a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, but she warmed up to those butterflies after a bit. In this picture I have one on my finger. One did land on Tizu's pretty flower on her pants. Luckily it was in the back or she might have freaked out. We spent about 15 minutes in there just taking it all in before we moved on.
Tizu was very brave to go up this close to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. When Alissa was small she wouldn't go anywhere near the Dinosaur exhibit, butTizu actually seemed to enjoy it up close and personal.


When the girls were younger they always liked the igloo. They would go inside and just sit there for a bit so we were anxious to show the igloo to Tizu. Not sure she had the same feelings as her mama and Aunt Alissa but she is young yet and has time to develop a love for this igloo. Below you see Grandma, Grandpa, and Tizu in the igloo.
After our museum fun we met John's folks at the Machine Shed in Pewaukee for a late lunch. Tizu put on good show and kept us all entertained at the table. Here she is in her carseat enjoying some gummy worms compliments of Mamaw and Pops.
And a quick nap on the way home!
Pleasant dreams of butterflies, little one!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I always love the butterfly houses too. I've visited a couple in the past couple of years and always enjoy seeing them.

It does look like a wonderful day. I really like the picture of you, John, and Tizu in the butterfly habitat. Very nice!
