Apple Holler

Yesterday Erica & I decided to take Mason apple picking. It was a beautiful, although warm, day and we had never been. We took a tractor ride out into the orchard and then began to fill our basket with apples. Mason thought it was great and enjoyed sampling what he picked. After we collected all of our apples it was time to enjoy some rides and choose a pumpkin!

First Trip to Wrigley

We planned to hold off until Spring to take Mason to Wrigley for a game, but I won tickets so we went sooner! It also happened to be Mason's first ride on the train and "L" so it was a big day for him!

Milwaukee County Zoo

Yesterday was such a beautiful day, so we decided to head up to the Milwaukee County Zoo. It turned out to be a really nice zoo and we had a great time! A lot of animals were out for viewing so Mason was very excited about that!

 Mason's main objective this trip was to see tigers!

 The elephants were a big hit too!

 This hippo sure did put on a show!
