We have had a busy week. Here's a recap.
To start things off, Allie came down with strep throat and spent last week Wednesday and Thursday home from school. I don't think she was too upset. She got to spend those two sick days at Grandma and Grandpa's house while Jason and I were in Madison.
We were in Madison for the Hawkeye-Badger men's basketball game. I've not spent much time in Madison, aside from the rare shopping trip, so I was excited to visit our state capitol, walk up and down State Street, and sample the famous Babcock Hall ice cream that is made on the UW campus.
Jason was excited to eat at his favorite restaurant, The Essen Haus, and drink beer.
After supper, we headed to the game...and it all went downhill from there. It's just not as fun watching a game when you are a visitor. Here is a picture of the other 4 Iowa fans in the arena.
The Hawkeyes lost but we were still grateful to Jason's friend, Chris (aka Grand Master P) for giving us his season tickets so we could enjoy a night out.
On Friday, we left again, this time with the kids, and drove to Minneapolis. Our destination was the Mall of America. We spent Saturday at the Nickelodeon Universe theme park.
And on Sunday, we went to the American Girl store.
Mia and Kit had their hair done.
We also had lunch at the American Girl Bistro...table for 8 please!
We are now back home to stay. The laundry is done and put away and we are back to our regular routine. Oh, except that Meredith will be going to the doctor this afternoon...I'm sure she has strep throat too.
UPDATE
Meredith does not have strep, it must just be a pretty bad cold virus. And, yes, we added two new members to our AG doll family...Zach and Zoe.

you have got to be kidding....they have a place for the 'girls' to get their hair done?! that's insane and quite creative all at the same time! and I'm guessing with a table for 8...does that mean you got two new girls to join Mia and Kit at the Majer household?
That was my exact question . . . did you pick up some new "girls" while you were there? Looks like you had fun!
I knew you couldn't leave the AG Store without adding new family members. Love them!
We have a similar virus at our house. Dec is getting over it and Caleb is in the full throws of it and its causing problems with his asthma.
Jay, that is an awfully large beer!
Is that beer really the size of Jason's chest, or are you just foolin' us with some tricky photography? He is a good sport to go and hang out with all those dollies. Now with 4 you each have your own to act out!
That picture of Allie's amazement is the best! Great timing with that shot.
Nice Beer
