First Brewers Game!

 
We took the boys to their first Brewers game last week!
Liam chose this helmet for a souvenir!

 
Max was so excited to have his own souvenir wallet!
He kept saying "I am just so happy with my wallet, Mom! Thank you!"

 
Grandma Meg and Uncle Bird joined us for the game, and we all had a great time!
Max was entranced by the game the entire time, which I was surprised by since he seems to have such a short attention span most of the time. He spent the majority of the game holding his wallet and crouching down at this railing to watch each play! It was adorable, and he was so excited about everything! Liam learned what all the numbers on the scoreboard mean and was able to tell us how fast the pitches were and how many outs there were to go! We ate licorice and popcorn and stayed for the whole game! The boys are asking when they get to go to Miller Park again...I think it will be sooner rather than later!! Another thing crossed off our summer bucket list!

Chick Field Trip!

The chicks took a little field trip to the backyard today! We put them on the grass with the cage over them, and they went to town pecking at the dirt and taste-testing grass!
 
 
Marla's pin feathers are really starting to come in!

 
Kit's are even longer! I love her little fluff tail!

 
Dottie is fearless!

 
And I'm afraid she might be a HE because of how dominant she can be, and how she struts around the cage. Hopefully she's just a little more head strong than her sisters!

 
These girls love piling together and taking naps, or fighting for food!

 
 
They really don't like to be separated from eachother, and will peep angrily if picked up and carried out of sight of the others!

 
Oh, Marla. I put her on Aaron's shoulder the other night...where she promptly pooped and then stared at him!
