September was a busy month but we definitely had a lot of fun!
The weather was perfect for the most part and we enjoyed getting out.
Now that Jake is a walk-a-holic we've tried to go on a big outing once a week so we don't go stir crazy!
Miller Park
Ryan and I had a chance to go to Brewer's game this month.
One of Ryan's coworkers had tickets he was trying to get rid of since his son got sick so we took advantage of the sweet deal!
Neither of us are very big baseball fans but this was an extremely exciting game.
The Brewer's actually won which is a strange occurrence theses days, a batter took a pitch to the face, and a "fight" ensued on the field.
Milwaukee Zoo
We were invited by some friends in the ward to go to the Milwaukee Zoo.
Jake loved riding around in the stroller but did not want to get out!
He started crying anytime I tried to get him out to look at the animals.
So it was a big shock to me when he saw a baby gorilla statue and really wanted to get out and look at it.
It was really cute he started making his money sound and loved touching the statue.
We had a lot of fun and I think I see the purchase of a zoo pass in our future.
Apple Holler
We headed down to Apple Holler one morning to play at the farm park since they weren't picking honey crisp apples and I'm kind of an apple snob!
Jake loved playing on the wooden train.
He kept crawling in and out and walking from car to car.
When he saw the bunnies he sat right down and just watched them sleep.
He was pretty nervous around the goats but would look at them as long as I was holding them.
However his favorite part was the dried corn box.
He would have stayed in there all day if I let him and I think I may need to buy some dry corn for hi to play with at home.

| Just look at that joy. Pretty much sums up the whole experience! |
We finished to outing off by treating ourselves to some apple pie and apple donuts.
I'm still dreaming about those donuts and I may have to take a trip back there just for those ;)
The Domes
The Domes are Milwaukee's indoor botanical gardens.
They have one dome of tropical plants, one of desert plants, and one of seasonal plants.
We took advantage of the day of free admission for Milwaukee county residents.
Jake loved watching the fish swim in the pond and touching the bolts on the benches.
We stuck around for story time and I couldn't believe my baby is old enough to sit in a chair all by himself!
Temple Day for a Wedding
The last Saturday of the month one of our friends from the ward received his endowment and was sealed to his wife in the temple.
We were privileged to be invited and Ryan was his escort.
It was wonderful to be in the temple again for such a joyous occasion.
Of course we stopped for deep dish pizza on our way home!
Jake stayed with my good friend and I think he had a great time.
I mean he got to ride in the car cart!
