Easter Weekend




The DeKruyter family came to Milwaukee for the Easter weekend.  We had such a great time seeing them again and showing them around the area.  Easter is always a special time and is a big deal in our family.  And we still get Easter baskets :)

Checking out the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan


We went downtown Milwaukee and drove along the lake a bit checking out the sites, then got out and walked around for a little while.  It was soooo windy and chilly though that no body lasted too long outside.  Then we headed to the art museum, it is pretty famous apparently and so we thought we had better check it out.  Well the building itself is just soooo cool, and you can get inside the foyer for free.  So we didn't actually go check out the art in the museum, we just went and checked out the cool building.  Lets just say it is not really our thing to go pay and see art........... nobody in the family was given artistic ability/appreciation.  But we had a fun time taking pictures right inside it!








We then headed to the Domes, which are huge structures that have different settings.  One is a rainforest one, and there is a desert one, and then another one that just has tons of flowers and stuff.  They are really cool, and just fun to walk through.  




All in all it was a really fun weekend!
