Peter Pan & Hiking

I'm going to be induced on Thursday unless things decide to happen on their own (my due date is Tuesday). So this was our last weekend before the baby and we filled it up! Friday evening we took the kids to their first play, Peter Pan. It was a super magical evening! Especially for Anna who is very much in love with the story of Peter Pan and has been for quite some time (she even pretends that John and Micheal are her children). They didn't allow photography during the play, but we snapped a few shots before with the beautiful decorations they had out in the lobby like this tree house for the lost boys.

Pretending to swim after they were made to walk the plank.

Excited for the show to begin. It was a big hit!!!

Then on Saturday we took advantage of the cooler temperatures and went for a hike around one of the lakes at Brown County. It was cooler, but the humidity made up for any decrease in heat! We still had a wonderful time.



We had a grand time pretending. There were plenty of little bridges to cross, so we of course had to look out for trolls. The trail was around a lake but sometimes we went deeper into the woods, so that meant we had to watch for witches. Lastly, there is a beaver that clearly lives here as there are trees either partially bitten into or completely broken off around the lake. The kids enjoyed looking out for Billy the Beaver as we came to call him.

Daddy really got into posing all of us.


Check out those muscles!

We all thought these trees were cool.


The boys! (Wonder if there will be another one soon?)

Daddy and his girl! I LOVE this picture!!!!

It immediately reminded me of this picture from not too long ago.

After our hike we headed over to the nature center to enjoy a raptor program. This little guy is called a kestrel and was one of the prettiest birds I've ever seen. The picture doesn't do it justice.

This little owl fell out of his nest as a baby and has a condition similar to down syndrome and keeps the characteristics of a baby owl even though it's an adult now.

They also had two hawks to share with us.


Great weekend! Now we're all excited to meet our baby!!!!!!
