Museum Field Trip

On Saturday Janelle & Janessa were kind enough to join us on a field trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum. This is why we take more adults with us when we go on outings - Archer behaves better around strangers than just his two parents. He's entertained by everything the new people have to say, and forgets about arguing with us over which direction to go. Someone always wants to hold Shelly. So thanks, guys, for coming with us! We had a great time!

Archer, of course, was the star of the show. He especially enjoyed throwing pennies into all the fountains we passed (courtesy of Janelle). He also liked the butterfly garden. He was excited about letting them land on his hands but the butterflies were too busy for us, and we got lucky to just see one that Janessa picked up on her map.
And Shelly was too helpless to prevent a ride on the giant bug we found. Archer refused to get near it, but Shelly sat there with a slightly dazed look and went along graciously.
All in all it was a fun family & friends outing, and I'm glad we went, it brought back lots of memories of elementary school field trips!
