Milwaukee Museum

 Amanda & I wanted to do something as a

last "hoorah" with the girls! :)  So, we decided

to take them to the Milwaukee Museum..

I'm glad we did!  It was really neat!

Had to get a pic of the lighted stairs..

 We decided to go see the butterflies first..

 Each of the girls tried to get a butterfly on their finger..

 And Miss Amanda got one without trying! :)

She finally left after a little bit.. 

she could only take so much of this! ;)

 They have a section that is called "the old

streets of Milwaukee".. and that's exactly what it is!

That was probably one of our favorites.. :)

 They also had a section that had houses that were

replicas of  how it'd be in different countries.. 

Germany, Greece, France, England, Austria, Italy.. you name it!

 Funny, I thought :)  We'd probably have ALOT of blue

houses if we did this today! ;)

 Amanda had to get a picture by an Italian house,

of course, since she's Italian.. well Sicilian, actually :)

 As you exit, they have the wall filled with all sorts of languages!

 Of course, we had to break for some lunch!

I packed us all sorts of stuff :)  It was fun,

and I think the girls enjoyed it.. especially the candy! :)

 Had to get a snake in there for Nicole, of course!

Sad you couldn't come with us Nicole.. we missed you!

 A break to have some fun with swirly chairs! :)

 Frogs for you, Dave!

 A horse for me.. :)

I thought this horse had awesome blue eyes!

 Don't you just love this orange outfit?! :)

 Are any words needed??? :)

Definitely something to aspire to! ;)

 Can you think of what verse this would remind me of?! :)

 Beautiful, huh?! ;)

 We discovered that Levi is definitely a Beaver! :)

 Yay!  We finally found our bear!

All that time in Canada searching for it

and it's right here in the good ole USA! :)

 We took time to stop and gaze at the mountains

since we miss them so much! :)

I think this picture says it all! :)

 Supposedly this is a mummy from 600 BC! They say it's real!

I still find it hard to believe, though..

  A replica of the Rosetta Stone.. pretty awesome!

 Cute cubs :)

 

We went to an African part, and I thought of you,

Sam & Abs!  So, I took a picture of this hut for you! :)

 And.. Amanda finally found her Moose!!!

We had a great time together.. too short!

We'll miss you a lot, Amanda!!!
