We spent Thursday with them as they both had the day off. However, the kids wouldn't be ready until noon. Clif and I toured the State Capital Building so he could have more practice with his camera, then we all went to Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Clif had fun getting some wonderful shots of Chloe.
She was having too much fun posing for Grandpa! :)
Michael and Valerie enjoyed the day as well.
Being we had purchased a State Park Parking Pass for $35, we thought we'd take advantage and visit as many State Parks as possible. In Wisconsin for non-residents, it costs $10 to access any State Park. I think it's rather pricey, but then again, their parks are beautiful so the money evidently goes to good use.
Valerie needed to get her sleep before working her overnight shift, so after dropping her off, we continued to Governor Nelson State Park which was between their house and our campground. It offers hiking, boating, and it has a nice beach/playground area with a beautiful view of the Capital Building across the lake.
Grandma and Chloe headed off to the playground. I enjoyed our bonding time.
She enjoyed swinging, driving and going down the slide.
She even got Daddy in on the action.
Afterwards, we went to camp and they had dinner with us. Michael was telling us that the Capital is pretty when lit at night, so after we dropped them back home, we stopped at Govern Nelson State Park again to take a night shot of the building. It was surprisingly windy, so it was a wonder Clif was even able to get a picture.
We had a wonderful day. :)
