Chapter 55- Milwaukee Art Museum and O’Donnell Park
Because last time we went to the Milwaukee Art Museum and didn’t have enough time after the Play Date with Art to visit the Kohl’s Art Generation Gallery, we made a special trip to the MAM last week. We picked up Uncle Will and Auntie Rae and headed out the door. We had to make…

Chapter 54- Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
Spring break brought colds and fevers, but the day we all felt better we headed to SANC to hike with some friends. Upon entering the nature center, we met this handsome dude courting some lady turkeys on the road. We met up with my friend Margo and her three boys, ate a quick packed lunch…

Chapter 53- Discovery World’s Lawn, Milwaukee Art Museum, and Wauwatosa Public Library
For the second time in my life, I was early for something. We showed up to the Milwaukee Art Museum 30 minutes before they opened, so we parked and walked over to Discovery World’s lawn to hang out. We found our way to the dock and climbed on the wooded steps and talked about how…

Chapter 52- Aldo Leopold Nature Center (Travel Edition)
We made the trip to the Aldo Leopold Nature Center in Madison last week, and had a blast! The lobby was home to some great interactive games, stations, and activities. We hung out there while we waited for our friends to meet us. And yes that’s the first time we’ve arrived early for anything. Ever.…

Chapter 51- Urban Ecology Center
Pancake breakfast at The Urban Ecology Center? Count me in. We piled everyone up in the car and made the short trip to The UEC’s Washington Park location for a morning of maple syrup and nature walks. Pictured above is where the delicious maple syrup was made. We learned the easy steps to making maple…

Chapter 50- Dinosaur Discovery Museum
A family friend recommended the Dinosaur Discovery Museum in Kenosha, and since I mistakenly thought Kenosha was 20 minutes south, I decided to make a last minute trip. The museum doesn’t open until noon, so at 11am I packed up the kids, stopped at Rocket Baby Bakery for some monkey bread, turned up Katy Perry’s…

Chapter 49- Mitchell Park Domes (again)
I’m starting to think that The Mitchell Park Domes should have their own category over there on the right side of this page. It’s really been a lifesaver for us this winter. And this week we met up with a bunch of friends for an impromptu birthday gathering for one of Little T’s classmates. We…

Chapter 48- Madison Children’s Museum (Travel Edition)
On Sunday, we packed up the whole family and drove to the Madison Children’s Museum. I’ll spare you details of the oh-so-enjoyable car ride from Milwaukee to Madison and focus on our time at the museum. We got in for free because we have a Milwaukee Public Museum membership, and then met Theo’s brother and…

Chapter 47- Soup Brothers
I’d been craving soup, and had two out of four of my kids with me over the lunch hour, so we made our way to Soup Brothers for lunch. They’re open at 11am Mon-Sat, staying open till 7pm Mon-Thur and close at 3pm Fri and Sat. We ordered from a selection of 6 or so…

Chapter 45- Bucks Game at the Bradley Center
My dad won tickets to a Bucks game, and brought me, Little T, and my brother to enjoy the night. The tickets included a behind the scenes entrance and court side seats to watch warm ups. I’m going to stop here and say that if you’re looking for an account of the actual game, or…
