Friday night we headed to Appleton for our first Timber Rattlers baseball game of the season. Friday may very well have been the nicest day of the year so far. We couldn't be outside enough!!!
Jackson Movin' and Groovin'
Chris and I sharing swing duty
Saturday Chris tried one last time to get that elusive turkey (unfortunately the bird still evades him). So Jackson and I enjoyed a Saturday to ourselves! True to frugal form, I found cheap, but fun things to do. It started off with visiting the National Railroad Museum. They had a free day in honor of National Museum Week (who knew!). Jackson and I enjoyed a train ride in an old locomotive. The conductor was super nice, talking to Jackson about trains and even posing for a picture with him. After the train ride we headed out on the grounds to climb the observation tower, wander through the museum's outdoor trains and then inside for more of the museum aspect...complete with an indoor train warehouse.
After the trains we headed off on a picnic. Unfortunately, I could tell by the radar we were racing the rain. So I had Jackson eat his sandwich on the way to the park that way all his time there could be spent playing. We squeezed in a wet 30 minutes and then headed home where we spread out a blanket in the family room and finished our belated lunch with an indoor picnic.
The rain stayed all afternoon so we played baseball in the garage, Jackson chased me on his bike and we had races to the cul de sac and back in the rain. As I like to say, it's the simple things...
Struggling for other indoor things to do I spied a birthday gift and had an idea. Jackson received a Play Doh breakfast making set that he pretends to make and eat eggs, bacon, smoothies, etc with. Well, he can't eat the Play Doh so I thought why not make dough he can eat? So I made and chilled some sugar cookie dough and we set out to make a Play Doh breakfast we could eat (raw or baked). We both enjoyed this activity...
