Father's Day

(I don't know what happened to the exposure with this picture, but I love the expressions!)

Happy Father's Day!

"We love our dad so much! He's fun, dependable, and inspiring!"

We had a fun time playing in the new splash pad on Father's Day.

For his special day, the girls made a fruit pizza.

 At the zoo, the Big Bug exhibit was fun to see. They were animatronic and some even sprayed toxic chemicals from their abdomen (don't worry, it was just water). 

The girls had fun sharing the role of Queen Ant on the Wild Theater stage inside the exhibit. 

 We also caught a glimpse of the camera-shy baby Bonobo.

This guy seemed to be keeping watch.

Between looking for all the babies at the zoo (the baby spotted sea lion wasn't out), it's fun to leap stepping stones.

At the Racine Breakfast on the Farm, I found these cute cows mooing. We had a big farmer's breakfast and nice time petting ducks, lambs and goats.

While in Racine, we decided to check off an item on our Summer Bucket List, the Wind Point Lighthouse.

It's operational and has a little beach park.

Thanks for the cool shades, Breakfast on the Farm!

 Whenever someone steps into the lake,

there's feet to be cleaned off!

At home, we are traveling around the world with Focus on the Family's explorer pack.

Lydia and Abigail have collected the day's worth of water in Ethiopia and played drums with call-and-response vocals in Suriname, to name two.


The activities have been fun and engaging with zero prep. :)

Hope you all are enjoying your summer and fitting in some exploring of your own!
