Rest & Relaxation in WI :)

 Dr. Jim and his family had some Revival

meetings in MI, so the rest of the team headed

to WI for a few days to rest and get ready to

head to Canada for our final meetings!

It was SO good to see family again! :)

The kids have gotten so big and are constantly

changing, and Levi's learning lots of new words..

he almost constantly is copying what people say! :)

 "Little B" is sitting up now! :)

 We enjoyed some really nice weather!  Who needs FL?! ;)

 Mom, Pab, and I went to Culvers for lunch..

good to eat at Culvers again! :)

 Tina brought the kids over to the cabin on Monday..

Levi and Brooklyn enjoyed talking to Mary on my phone! :)

 I absolutely LOVED Levi's warm-up outfit and little tennisshoes!!! :)

 The little stinker.. Levi kept pulling Brooklyn's hat off

as I was trying to get a picture!  Brooke didn't seem to mind, though! :)

 What an adorable little family! :)  

Levi wasn't too happy about this, though..

 Levi learning to play the guitar.. he's so smart! :)

 On Tuesday we went to the Madison Zoo..

here's Brooklyn all ready to go to the zoo! :)

 Like mother.. like daughter.. :)

 Like father, like son? :)

 I LOVE this pic! :)

 My favorite at the zoo.. the TIGER!

It was so awesome how close to the glass he'd come!

Kinda scary, too.. glad there's the glass in between! :)

 Thought this was a pretty funny sign.. :)

 This is what Brooklyn thought of the monkeys.. ;)

 Levi, on the other hand, really loved them! :)

 He also really loved watching the other kids..

 It's so cute when Levi gets SO excited! :)

 Some interesting tidbits, I thought..

I guess it's the teacher coming out in me! ;)

 Levi's so cute.. even when he's getting disciplined! :-/

 Of course, what's a zoo trip without a little picnic?! :)

 Levi loves shoving food in his mouth!

It's amazing how much he can get in there..

I guess he has a mouth like Aunt Mary! ;)

 Funny face! :)

 Levi was trying to be so helpful by carrying the lunch! :)

 I guess "Little B" was pretty exhausted.. :)

 Just for you, Dave! :)

 Levi loved the turtles! :)  Maybe he'll take after his Uncle David!

 Some pictures for you, Nicole.. :)

 Levi loved the carousel.. he just masks his emotions pretty well ;)

 Slide time with Dad.. I think this was Levi's favorite! :)

 Um.. Dad.. you comin'?

 Levi does love his little sister.. 

although we're working on the jealousy thing.. :)

 Priceless! :)

 

Well we didn't really take enough pictures at the zoo..

so, we decided to take more pictures on a bridge close by! :)

 We had a wonderful time together at the zoo! :)

So glad that you did end up coming, too, Leah! ;)

 What's a beautiful day without a little frisbee?!

 I kinda gave up on frisbee and went to fellowship

with Mom and Brooklyn instead! :)

 This is what an evening looks like after a day at the zoo.. :)

We stopped at the Artisan Well on our way home..

Leah wanted me to take a picture posing as the woman

at the well.. :)  She had a song she was singing, too! :)

It was nice to have a little break for a few days to relax

and catch up with family and friends.. now back to traveling! :)
