Shady Lane

Here are some pics if the model train display.  There were at least a half dozen engines running small track circles or the entire length of the display.  18 months went into preparing this, and while there is no admission charge, they do accept donations, half of which goes to charity.

Shady Lane Greenhouse Train Exhibit

Today was the kind of day every young boy lies awake the night before in excruciating anticipation of-going to see a model train display!  Shady Lane Greenhouse in Menomonee Falls, WI has the most spectacular year round train set up I have ever seen! Today was their 3rd annual Holiday open house, and half of the train display was in true Holiday form.  Visit www.shadylanegreenhouse.com for complete details!

Lac Lawrann

How's that for a pefect Wisconsin fall day?

Lac Lawrann

Yes, it really says "bird cemetary"!  There were stones scattered all over so I cringe to think of what lies beneath!

Lac Lawrann

Another great West Bend destination that happens to have Geocaches hidden! We were again blessed with a picture perfect day for treasure hunting and were sure to take in the beautiful fall sights!

Another great Geocaching day!

Today was a bike-to-the-cache kind of day! But first a stop at Imagine Coffee to load up on Alterra Coffee and handmade Kashi granola bars!

Treasure

This cache was full of 3-D glasses, they boys had a blast checking out the woods!

Sandy Knoll Park

And another treasure found!

Sandy Knoll Park

A haven for 3 boys!

Geocaching

Another treasure hunt, Sandy Knoll park not far from home.  The greatest thing about Geocaching is it takes you to places you never really knew were there!

Sunset

And this sunset pic was the 6th picture! I took it the same eve as the rainbow and it was featured the same night.

Rainbow

One of my favorite things is nature and weather photography.  I snapped this after a walk one eve, and it was featured on the Fox 6 Weather cast that night! It happened to be the 5th picture I had featured on the evening weather cast this year.....

Fall Ride

We are blessed to live near a picturesque boardwalk complete with a river, deer, fox and crisp leaves in the fall.  It's one of those places you wish you spent more time at, but instead really relish in its beauty when you finally get there!

Fellenz Woods

Found!

The thrill of the hunt is digging through a box of goodies that only a 4 year old could get excited about! This cache find was large enough to hold quite a selection of "treasures"....

Geocaching

In September my 4 year old and I got out for a perfect day of "treasure hunting" at Fellenz Woods, a 140ish acre nature preserve just east of our home. It was a cloudless day without a care in the world. The joy of seeing life through the eyes of a 4 year old is indescribable, laughable, and exhausting all at the same time! Speaking of exhausting, so was my 1 mile walk back to the cat with Matt carrying on my back...

Milwaukee County Zoo

Jellyfish!!

Milwaukee County Zoo

Ok, so its November and I'm finally blogging on stuff from summer.  Nothing wrong with thinking warm while it's cold out, right?  This snake cozied up to the window and enjoyed some attention.  The Milwaukee County Zoo is truly a treasure!
