Da Bears Country

This past weekend we loaded up the old family truckster and headed down south of the boarder to visit the Staniaks. It was a great weekend as usual. The girls played together, the moms talked together and the dads drank together (a little). Ryan even learned a bit about the Ryder Cup. It happened to be the weekend Chase was being baptised, so we ended up with quite a feast on Sunday before the drive home. Good Stuff. One of the best parts of the entire weekend was sitting with my fellow Wisconsinites (Ryan's Fam) watching a house full of bears fans lose in OT. (Yes I know the Packers loss too). Here's some pics from the weekend.

A quick bath before the trip.

We started the weekend with a trip to the Cosley Zoo. It was a really nice little zoo. The perfect size actually. The kids got to see the animals, and we weren't there all day.

Ryan was really excited to show the girls the ducks.

Ha Ha. Gotcha!

Reese checking out a couple of horseys.

Oh dear!

Sorry I didn't get any closer. I was scared. I mean seriously....what do they feed these rabbits. That thing is as big as Riley!

Yeah I know Madisyn's pose is a bit sassy...Don't know if she was trying to show off for Chase or what...but it was the picture that she was smiling.

Chase Patrick Staniak. Chaser. C-Patch. C-Pup.

The girls in the double stroller going for a walk. Man there are a lot of no outlet streets by your house.

The girls kindly offered to babysit Chase well the Moms and Dads went out for a dinner and drinks.


And then there was the photoshoot...

Reese was excited. (I guess Madisyn is just used to it.)

Picking flowers...or weeds...or rocks.
