Morgan just started working in the ER this week and had some time off on Monday afternoon. We decided to take a small trip as a family before our lives get crazy with a new baby and school starting. We first went to the Jelly Belly Warehouse in Pleasant Prairie, WI.
Everyone had to wear these cool paper hats as we went on a train ride through the warehouse.
Eve was not as excited as the others about keeping the hat on. It stayed on her head long enough for the photo and then quickly was ripped off.
After the train ride, we spent some time in the Jelly Belly gift shop. We were able to sample the many different flavors of jelly bellies and then we let the kids pick out their own favorites. Luke and Miriam both chose the candy corn jelly bellies. Eve was happy to have the free assortment bag that we received at the end of the train ride. However, Morgan and I couldn't help ourselves! We are huge Jelly Belly fans and had the hardest time deciding on which flavors to select.
On the drive back to Janesville, we decided to stop at Lake Geneva and walk around for a while. The water was so beautiful and it reminded us of the Redondo area in WA just without the salty smell.
The kids look happy in this picture but boy, did they complain about walking along the water! We must of heard a hundred times how bad their legs hurt!

We found a playground for the kids and talk about miracle healings! Luke and Miriam's legs were instantly healed and they suddenly found the strength to climb and swing again! 
I think Luke will one day take the Olympic gold medal in monkey bars!
Eve is our master climber.
Miriam is our little social bug. This is a shot of her playing before the other kids showed up to play. As soon as there were other kids, she was off trying to make friends.
We had such a fun afternoon together. Morgan has been working so hard since June. He has been on call every other weekend and working long hours throughout the week. So this little time off was such a blessing. We finished the day off with pizza slices at Sam's Club and the kids were ready for bed! Now time to get the backpacks ready for school to start on Thursday!

I think social butterfly must but a typical character trait for 2nd children who are girls. My little Zoey is exactly the same way!!! Couldn't wait to get to school. Calls EVERYBODY she meets her friend. My boys are both a little more shy.
And you have to love those miracle healings! We have a lot of them at our house, too.
