Stay-cation

We weren't in Holland the entire time Joel had off.  We had a few days at home as well.  We got back from Holland late Wednesday night, so we spent most of Thursday at home relaxing.  We did go to Lowe's though for a few things for Joel's latest project--dirt and chicken wire.  We hope to have a small garden this summer--actually we already planted some things in pots.  We decided that building a raised garden would do the trick.  Joel had gotten lumber and cut it before going to Holland.  On Thursday he put them all together along with a little helper.


 

 

On Friday, we headed down to Cabela's for some free entertainment.  We live about a half hour away.  They have a large aquarium that Kyper loves to look at.  They also have a lot of stuffed animals there, so we saw polar bears, baboons, an elephant, deer, quail, and many more animals around the store.  Kyper loved the fish, but another favorite part was going into all the tents the store had set-up.  Joel hopes to do a backyard camping trip with Kyper sometime this summer. :)  Sorry, no pictures from that excursion.


Over the course of the two days we also got the nursery 90% done.  We have a couple of finishing touches to do before we post pictures of it.  And to me, it won't be 100% done until little Tator Tot makes his or her appearance.  It is so much fun to be able to decorate for this little one.  We weren't able to do anything like this for Kyper due to the fact we moved from Des Moines to Detroit when Kyper was only 7 days old. 

Hopefully soon you will be seeing pictures from Tator Tot's nursery or an announcement of our nephew's arrival.  :)
