College For Kids 2013

Did you read the College for Kids post about this summer's experience? Well, when I was writing it I discovered I'd forgotten to post about last year (2013). So here we go :)

Here's the beautiful lakefront while en route to UWM

Here's the dance recital that closed out LuLu's class

Here's our visit to Eeyore's house: 

Here's the finale of YaYa's acting class: 

And her dance class (with the same teacher as Olivia). Note that I'm sans beard - an every-five years occurrence. 

Here's Junie in the car making a farting noise with something she made in class LOL

The Infamous Cancelled Trip to Cave of the Mounds

Yesterday was a great day with #TeamSlap and I hope to post about it on Slapinions soon. Today however  . . . we aborted a trip to the Cave of the Mounds National Natural Landmark (or Cave of the Mountains, if you ask Junie) a quarter of the way there when the kids were awful in the car. We diverted to a Walmart in Waukesha to do some school shopping and unofficially give the kids a chance to cool down and shape up. Instead, they were "that" family you see at Walmart and then post about on Facebook.  Sigh. #notEverydayisawinner
