A Photo Catalog of Firsts

Vacations are all about new sights and experiences. Especially when you're a kid. Cubby had many firsts on our recent trip to Wisconsin.

The first ride on Daddy's shoulders.

I believe Cubby very much enjoyed suddenly being seven feet tall.

The first encounter with a dinosaur.

At the Kenosha Public Museum. Don't laugh. Kenosha, Wisconsin has a really impressive museum. Also a whole museum devoted to the civil war that we didn't have time to see. Kenosha is where it's at.

The first experience playing in a Great Lake.

On the shores of Lake Michigan, in New Buffalo, Michigan. The water wasn't too cold, and I think Cubby enjoyed being on an actual sand beach. (Ours is all rocks.)

The first ride in a swing.

Most children go to a park every day and swing. Cubby goes to the beach every day and swims. I don't think he feels deprived at the trade-off.

The first slide.

With Nana, who is the BEST playground companion.

Also the first time swimming in a pretty pink life vest--courtesy of my niece--but we'll save those photos for another time.
