Butterflies and mustard

This weekend we went to the Butterfly Garden at Olbrich Gardens. The boys were a little sad that no butterflies landed on them but they got really close. When we stopped to look at the hatchery.......Jamison proceeded to tell the lady the complete life cycle of the monarch butterfly. She said that Jamison could take her job. I apologized... she said "no worries he is cute", If she only knew.

While at the garden we were tasked with exploring the garden to collect stamps. If we found all of them we would get free icecream!! The boys did a fab job and we all enjoyed chocolate icecream! We also stopped for some cute pictures for mom.

Aug 2 is also National Mustard Day. (bet you did not know that!) Well, Mount Horeb really celebrates! Bands, mustard painting, mustard toss and other mustard related games, hot dog stand. Culvers also made a special batch of mustard ice cream (we did not try that). This town knows how to party!!!

The weinermobile even made an appearance!(and now that I am looking at the picture...Jamison is grabbing his weiner. nice picture there Jamison.)

yes, that plate says "pouponu" Only in Mount Horeb!

We also found another troll....so I think we are up to 7!
