When Tizita was going into Preschool, John and I (mostly my idea, I suppose) decided to take her on a fun end of the summer, beginning of school outing.
Before Preschool, we took her to Build a Bear, mini golfing and Monkey Joe's
Before Kindergarten, it was a trip to Little Americka
Before first grade, we went to Circus World Museum and rode the ferry
Before second grade we took Tiz to the Dells where we rode the Ducks, mined for gems, and wne to Tommy Bartlett's.
Third grade took us to Chicago via the train. We went up to the Sears tower and enjoyed other Chicago sites.
Last year before fourth grade we took Tiz to the Mall of Amreica for some serious shopping.
We started taking Soliana places to celebrate her end of summer, too.
Before Preschool, I don't think we took her anywhere special or at least I cannot find any documentation of it and my memory is failing me here.
Last year, before Kindergarten we took her to Mayfair mall for some shopping and then to a motel in Hartford to swim and spend the night with us.
All these trips have been so much fun and I hope they will be remembered by the girls for a long time.
This year I debated taking both of them to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter near Cinncinati ut they had spent so much time traveling in a car this summer that I thought better of that idea.
Instead of the museums, we took them to Minoqua for a long weekend.
The hotel we stayed at was so awesome.
We had a suite and the pool and hot tub were fantastic.
We started our trip in Mercer with a stop at the loon and the infamous Wampam Shop. We also got a tour of the little ,museum from a very nice old man who volunteered there.
After our Mercer adventure, we checked into our hotel.
The girls swam for over an hour and had the pool all to themselves.
They both love to swim and pretend to be mermaids.
We ordered pizza for dinner and watched TV
On Friday, we began our day with breakfast at Paul Bunyan's.
It was so yummy, we were stuffed after it.
We headed to the Wildwood Nature center to have fun with the animals.
It was a great, fun time.
Soli and Tiz both loved the bunnies so much.
We also fed the bears some soda, fed giraffes, fed deer, and went in the parakeet house, although Soliana did not like it in with all those birds.
We ended our day with a great dinner at the Islander Restaurant and watching the ski show.
On Saturday we shopped in downtown Minoqua and then took the ferry at Merrimac.
Today we went to church and then to the pot luck for the new teachers.
It was a great way to end the summer for me and the girls!
School, bring it on!
