I can't believe it! Ascherman is now a 4 yr. old! This year, he decided that he didn't want a party, he just wanted a birthday. So we didn't plan anything special or big for this festive day. As usual, did a little birthday decorating with a new sign that Grema made. (her first reaction to this photo- not how cute, wish I was there, but "the banner is crooked". It's not crooked, it's ANGLED! :P). Then we packed our bags and hit the road! We decided to hit the Milwaukee Zoo and see the Dinosaur Exhibit!
We were not really sure how Ascher would react to this......
A little worse than I expected actually. He was SCREAMING for us to get away from them, not to get close to them, and don't let them look at us. Of course, I'm laughing hysterically behind Immer because his reaction is so funny. Poor thing. Once we told him they were robots, and just to look at, he eased into them. But he didn't like it when they roared and stomped. Immer and I found it to be a really cool exhibit though. It's like Jurassic Park in the Zoo! They had quiet a few dinos there, but of course you always want more! And typical child fashion, once we left that exhibit, that's all Ascher would talk about!
Once we got home, we did a small dessert for Ascher. He wanted a pie....so I made a tart with fresh fruit and lemon custard. Really good! Overall, I think he had a nice, enjoyable day as a family!
That's right! I finally did it! We booked a trip to Disney! Bought the plane tickets and everything so Immer can't say no! We are really excited about this trip! We planned the trip the same time Amy and Mike will be there too, so they can help with Ascher's adventure and guide us more quickly around the parks. So everyone is really excited about it. Ascher has been studying his maps of the park and we've been planning all the meals as well. Should be a really fun trip this September!
