Daddy's Birthday Weekend

The family had lots of fun celebrating daddy's birthday this weekend! On Saturday, we took a road trip to La Crosse, to daddy's favorite guitar shop. He had some old guitars to trade in, and got this new one! Ethan had a blast exploring the shop (a little stressful for mommy! - those are some expensive guitars!) and daddy was giddy about his new purchase.
Next, we decided to visit the La Crosse Children's Museum and we even got in free with our E.C. family pass. The museum was perfect for Ethan.

They had a big fire truck where he could pretend to be a firefighter.

And a small scale Kwik Trip store. I think Ethan is trying to make a fast getaway with this apple . . .
Ethan had such a great day, and he was a really good boy! He does really well in the car if we play his CDs for him. Here, mommy is tickling his feet . . .
He fell asleep literally 5 minutes from our house - he's just not a big car sleeper. Unfortunately when we got home, he didn't take a nap either - I guess he was just to excited by the events of the day.
Last night, mom and dad got a sitter and went out for a nice steak dinner. We went to Sweetwaters which is a nice local restaurant, but we are always the youngest customers there! The food was delicious and we even got dessert with our meal, which we never do - YUM!

Today we visited Trav's mom in the nursing home, and Grandma Lue too. They are both doing well!

Tomorrow is back to the old routine. I promised myself that I wouldn't get down about going to work after a nice 4 day weekend, so I am staying positive! It will be good to get back in the swing of things.
