The last weekend in August, the kids and I took a mini-vacation to the Mad-city.  Usually, we prefer to bring T with us, but she is awaiting the arrival of a sweet baby girl, so we decided to leave her at home.  Nicole had to work a bit on Friday (imagine that??  Working on a Friday in the summer??) so the kids and I did a bit of exploring.  As usual, we hit up the capital building, laid on the floor, and checked out the badger.

 That weekend, we attended a sweet neighborhood festival, that had live music, pizza, beer and acrobats.

 Other than me getting a good dose of energy healing, the highlight of the weekend was definitely Harper teaching Colie how to walk like a princess.
