W(ish)W: Adult Swim at the Madison Children's Museum

Saturday, Fisch and I went with our friends Alicia and Wade to the Madison Children's Museum "Adult Swim" night.  No, there wasn't a pool but there was a childrens museum absent of children and full of adults acting like children.  I was the best!

P.S. I also found out Fisch had never heard of folding a paper "hotdog way" or "hamburger way".  I thought that was universal knowledge! Blew. My. Mind.  

How did you learn to fold paper in elementary school?

WW: CO by Fisch

 

A couple weeks ago, Fisch went on a week long camping/bow hunting trip with his Dad to Colorado.  He didn't get the elk he was hunting for but he did get to shoot some gorgeous photos.

I am thinking we are going to need to get this one printed, like really big, asap.

W(ish)W: Pottery Class

 

This summer, Fisch and I took a pottery class every Wednesday night.  Somehow I made it all the way through art school without ever having thrown a pot on a wheel.  It has been a goal of mine to learn how.  I have to say... didn't work out so well in the beginning.  Fisch and I both left the first class frustrated.  I have done a whole lot of hand building in my day and thought throwing on a wheel would come naturally.  Not so much...as you can see from my first mug.  I thought it was a good lesson, though, in how my students might feel in my class when they don't understand something right away.

Luckily, Fisch and I stuck with it and after a little a lot of practice we ended up with some relatively successful pieces.

W(ish)W: Summer Vacay to Kansas City, MO

     A few weekends ago, my friend Brye and I packed our bags and flew to Kansas City, MO to visit our good friend, Megan. It was a much needed, fun filled girls weekend.

W(ish)W: Wedding Photography

The great thing about being a teacher is that during the summer you get to dabble in your other hobbies.  For me, this summer, it was wedding photography.  I photographed my 2nd and 3rd weddings.  This is one of my favorites of the two little girls who were already best friends and then became step sisters in the last wedding I shot.

This is now "our" waterfall :)

It was perfect :)

WW: A Saturday Hike

Last Saturday we went on a hike at Parfrey's Glen in Devils Lake State Park.  It is just one of the things I adore about Madison... you can be in the city and then in less then an hour you can be hiking gorgeous hills and gorges and riding a ferry across the lake (which may be my transportation to my new school next year!).

Wordless Wed.- Spring Break Cruise Day 2: Nassau, Bahamas

     

When we woke up the first morning on the cruise ship we were docked in Nassau, Bahamas!  The day was spent exploring downtown, going on a sailing and snorkeling excursion (so awesome!), and dancing the night away at Senor Frogs.
