The kids have really run Uncle Dennis’ pets ragged.  It looks like Jack is pooped:

Today we headed downtown for a tour of the Wisconsin Capitol with Uncle Dennis, Grandma DiAnn, and Tricia’s sister:

B was given the job of using a laser pointer to indicate for the rest of the tour group a fossil in one of the stone steps:

The hearing room:

The Supreme Court chamber

The Senate Chamber:

The State Assembly chamber:

Trish had a great time playing saxaphone with Uncle Dennis for several hours.  She brought her mouthpiece on this trip for just this occasion.  Uncle Dennis had a saxaphone for her to use.  They sounded great!

After dark, we headed back to Walmart for our last night there.
