snake, slide and a sacrifice

What a great couple of days we have had. The weather is getting better here finally and we had a lot of fun stuff going on.
This weekend we went to a great surprise birthday party, a family fun fair kind of event, watched basketball with great friends and were able to spend time outside. Good days all around. The camera did not come out as much as I had hoped but we did get a few fun pictures.

Loved that the University let the Herpetology society bring the animals to the family fair for the kids to see. Yes, that is a snake that Sam is petting and yes, we washed hands afterward!
This is Sam hanging out on the slide not knowing exactly what to do now. We discovered the Central Wisconsin Children's Museum (they were partly hosting the family event) and it is much cooler than I had known! Lots of great indoor climbing stuff and good hands on activities for the kids.
Yes one of the games for the kids was throwing taped up toilet paper rolls into fake toilets! So funny. Friends came with us and Ethan, their son, was actually old enough to play the games. This was the one game that I pretty much forced Sam to play. She picked a duck! Wohoo!

And after a long morning of playing, Sam was ready for lunch and a nap.
Now for the sacrifice...
Remember that adorable squawking chick that Sam was throwing around in the video from the previous post? POLLY ATE IT! Oh yeah, the head is totally gone! The sad part is the poor thing still made the noise but looked just creepy so we had to throw it away. Sam was basically teasing Polly everytime she would throw it because we would always yell at Polly not to attack the chick. Well, Monday night while we had a babysitter Polly saw her window to go after the chick. No more chick. We have already asked Nana to try and find another one for Sam cause she loved that thing and it was so cute to see her play with it. Not sure if she will be able to find another one and really I am sure Sam doesn't even remember it now but I am sad that one of her first Easter presents was destroyed before Easter even got here!
