Little Oshkosh

Brode had a very fun weekend at home! I love summer weekends when we can spend so much time together and do fun things. His weekend a started early Friday afternoon when his Grandma Beth picked him up from day care. She packed up all of his things and headed to the pool for the afternoon! From what I could tell he had a great time outside all afternoon!

Saturday we spent the day playing outside - Brode was dripping sweat. It was very humid! By the end of the day he was ready for a swim in the neighbors pool and loved playing with his buddy Blake!

Sunday we spent yet another day outside. After nap Matt, Brode and I went down to the park in Oshkosh. It is a very large park on the water with lots to do!

We started at the zoo:

This large tortise was roaming around, Brode didn't want to get too close but wanted to see what he was all about.

We moved on to the sheep and goats. Again he wasn't too sure but liked peeking through the cracks at them. This poor bird was probably deaf after Brode left. He yelled "Tweet Tweet Birdie" in his face MANY times. He sure liked to use his manners with the bird too saying hello and goodbye.

The llamas were last on our stop. Brode liked them the most because he could get so close. They followed us as we walked in a circle around their cage. He wasn't too sure what type of noise they make.

Surprisingly Brode was all about the head signs. This large sign has a place to be "eaten by an alligator", the zookeeper and a monkey. Brode had to do each of them multiple times and every time he stuck those little fingers through and smiled innocently.

After the zoo we went to the park across the street. It's called "Little Oshkosh" - but it sure isn't little. The park is all wooden structures with many activities and tunnels to play in. The wood is shaped into a castle, an airplane, a tiki head and many more things. It is also very toddler friendly with small activities for Brode's size. (He didn't go near them of course he wanted to be a big kid)

Our last stop was the train. They have a mini train you can ride for one whole dollar! Brode was so excited to go on the "Choo Choo!" We had some extra fun when we saw lots of ducks along the way. Of course my child was the one screaming "WHA WHACK!" (quack quack) over the side. He LOVED it!

It was such a fun weekend outside. We all had a great time together before things start to get busy these next few weekends.
