Yesterday Lynne, Melissa, Meghan, the twins, and I headed up to Oshkosh to spend time at Menomonee Park and Zoo. The weather could not have been better, sunny with a nice cool breeze off Lake Winnebago. The zoo only has about a dozen animals but we spent over an hour just looking, running, walking, running, etc around in the zoo. Meghan had just been to the Milwaukee Zoo on Tuesday but she seemed to think this small zoo was every bit a nice as that one! The twins favorite part of the zoo was running and finding poles to twirl around. Oh, the simple pleasures of life. Every once in awhile they did stop to pick up some stones or wood chips and throw them. After our zoo tour we rode the little train and merry go round in the park. Cheap prices and long rides made it a good value. I decided I could drive the train when John and I go up there and retire. Seems like a nice easy job. Courtney met us after work and we headed to her house for a picnic lunch on their patio. You can see some of Tizzy's things in the picture. Meghan and the twins ate on her little table and sat in her little chairs. It was another test and all items passed with flying colors. After lunch Paul brought out a basketball for the boys but they seemed more interested in a small pile of dirt they found. Courtney joined us for a trip back to the wooden park to play. What a fun place for kids to explore and have fun! I am hoping that Lynne got back in time to get to work at the Library. We thought we gave her enough time, but traffic was a bit backed up... All in all it was a fun trip for everyone.
Note to Tizzy: It will not be long now and you will be home. Just wait until you ride the little train and merry go round. What a lucky little girl to have all these fun things plus a zoo right across the street! I am learning more and more that a child your age doesn't need any fancy toys, just a pole to twirl around, a small pile of dirt, an old cell phone, and a few testaments are all it takes! See you soon!
