Last Weekend in March Fun

We got some good fresh air this weekend starting with letting the kids run some steam off in the infield during a mock track meet at central.  We left for Madison bright and early on Saturday morning.  We finally saw Abbey Hyland's current apartment (swanky!), went to the zoo, lunch at Jason's Deli and made a big purchase at REI.  We dropped Abbey off again and next headed to Jack and Aimee's parents place to settle the kids in before we headed off on a much anticipated double date night!  Lucy and Charlie had a blast with their friend Finn and his Granparents (Diane and Gordy).  Mom and Dad had a very nice night getting drinks and dinner with Jack and Aimee and then heading to the Mumford and Sons concert at the Kohl Center.

Running around at the track meet.  It was chilly out but Lucy insisted her skin needed the fresh air!

We rarely get to see the tiger out, but Charlie (in the red coat) had a front row experience.

Charlie didn't want to ride on an animal but he enjoyed his time with Abbey.

This is the only time Lucy would even look at me.  She was being a big kid all by herself who didn't want to acknowledge her annoying mom trying to take pictures.

Lucy wouldn't sit on this bear when she was Charlie's age and this time Charlie wouldn't have it (must be something about the age).

Having giggles and fun at Jason's Deli.  The free icecream here is always a big hit.  Charlie made his excitement known with shrieks and squeals of delight.

Isaac was very motivated to take the Prius to Madison this weekend.  This entailed not packing a stroller and also completely wedging himself between the carseats in the back seat.  Next he had to get creative to make our inflatable paddle board fit.  But hey, we fit in with the crowd in the REI parking lot as there were at least 2 other Prius' in our row ;).  

Marcus Mumford on the big screen; portions of the concert were great! 

While we were enjoying an evening out, these 3 were spoiled with park time, tree climbing, Easter egg hunts and shows :)
