Photo of the Week – 8/29/10

Yesterday, we drove up to Green Bay to the Green Bay Botanical Garden. The gardens are gorgeous! There’s so much to see and there’s even a section for kids. Payton had a lot of fun filling up her watering can and watering the animals sculpted out of moss. I think Emma’s favorite part was finding huge melons hanging from a lattice overhead. They made for a very warm and interesting photo (below). On they way home we stopped at Gilly’s Frozen Custard. Their custard was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend them if you’re ever in Green Bay, Fond du Lac, or Sheboygan.

Two Weeks Left to Save Carmine


Have you bought your Save Carmine shirt yet? The voting ends in two weeks, so if you haven’t yet, treat your avatar to a charitable shirt!

Currently “Save Carmine” is in the lead, so if this keeps up, Carmine will finally survive a Gears of War game. Head on over to the official Gears of War page for more info. Remember, all proceeds go to Child’s Play, so this is a great way to donate, AND have a voice in what happens to Carmine in the upcoming Gears of War 3 game.
