Grandpa Mike's St.Patrick's 60th birthday!

The Morses spent a very unseasonably warm weekend in Wisconsin to celebrate Grandpa Morse's 60th birthday, which falls on St. Patrick's Day!  Eric's dad did not know we were coming so it was really fun to walk up to the door and ring the doorbell to a very surprised birthday boy!  On our drive up, Elaine spent one of her first afternoons with no socks.  This newfound access to her feet provided at least a half hour of entertainment and interest on our drive.  Who knew feet were so interesting!?  Here she is smiling at her feet.  You can also see she is quickly outgrowing her carseat!  Time for a big girl carseat very soon!

On Mike's birthday, he had plans to go to the model railroad show in town, so we tagged along for the fun!  Elaine watched the trains with interest and Eric enjoyed showing her something he used to do as a kid.

For dinner, we went to the Freighthouse, which is Lacrosse's top notch steakhouse.  Elaine experienced her first dinner in a highchair!  She LOVED sitting up with us like a big girl. 

Here is Eric with our cute little St. Patty's girl.

Sunday it was so nice that Eric's favorite drive-in (Rudy's) was open and we managed to grab a picnic table at a nearby park before we hit the road.  What a great way to end the weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather.
