Tizita's visit to Watertown

 Last year, we took Tizita out for a day of fun before she started K4, so this year we decided we needed to do something special with her before she starts Kindergarten.

We picked Tizita up in Oshkosh on Saturday morning and headed to Little Americkka.

We had a wonderful time enjoying all the rides.  Felt good to feel like a kid again.

Tiz chose to ride in the caboose on the train ride.

 Tiz and I enjoyed this parachute ride.

You can see us wway up there.

Unfortunately there was a weight limit, so John could not go up in the air with us, but

 he rode the Tilt a whirl numerous times with Tiz.  She loves to spin,, the faster, the better for her.  She has decided that Uncle Cheddah needs to ride with her and grandpa next time to really make it spin!

 I got my body scrambled on the scrambler and it took a bit to recover from our two back to back rides on there.

We also enjoyed riding the merry go round, the ferris wheel, the monorail, and a roller coaster.

We all got brain freezes from our slushies.

It was a fun day full of laughs.

 After our day at Little Americkka, we came to our house and Tiz got the doll that she wanted for her Tiziversary this year.  It was a few weeks early, but I couldn't wait and neither could she.

She had so much fun feeding Baby Alive and then changing her poopy diapers.

Not sure her mama will appreciate the extra work it takes to keep this doll running smoothly.

 We had a big day on a rainy Sunday.

First we had church and a potluck for our new teachers at St. John's.

Then we spent the afternoon mixing up concoctions in the kitchen.

Here Tiz is making homemade watercolors.  Fun to make and they worked well, too.

 We made playdough and slime.  The slime is made from equal parts of starch and glue.  It felt so cool.  I think I enjoyed it more than Tiz.

 We also made an apple pie with cinnamon rolls for the crust.  Tiz is busy mixing up the crumb topping.  The pie was awesome and we will be making it again.

On Monday, we went shopping with Gigi.

Tiz was an excellent shopper and picked out this cute new outfit from Gigi.

We took her to Waupan tonight to meet Courtney and Paul.

Our house is so quiet.

I miss her.

I do not, however miss the many messes that seem to follow her around.

Hard to believe that the next time I see her, she will be a big kindergartener!
