Mothers & More Milwaukee has had a very busy last 3 months.  The latest events I have attended was:

  •  Rock Climbing for kids ages 5 and older
  • Candy Cane Lane - The big family Holiday Party
  • Whole Family Outing at Country Springs Water Park

Both of my kids Colleen and Garrett are over 5, so the rock climbing was awesome.  We had 30 kids show up and take-off up the climbing walls with the greatest of ease!  In our group we have 158 members.  Over half of our members have children 5 and older.  So we decided to sponsor more activities for the moms with children 5 and older.  So we sent out an email poll and Rock Climbing won!  Here are a couple of pictures:

                                        

In Mid December we had our annual Holiday Party.  Candy Cane Lane was the theme.  We had over 163 persons (adults and children) attend this year.  It was so much fun!  We had potluck and Mothers & More bought all the ham and turkey a person could eat.  The members brought side dishes to share.  I ate so much.  We also had a craft table for children 3 and older, and a holiday picture taking area.  A member's mom volunteered to come and take family photos.  I manned the printer and managed to print everyone a copy of their special holiday party memory.  Here are a couple photos:

               

Our Most recent event was our family outing to Country Springs Water Park!  It was fun for the whole family, and we had 5 hours to play in the water!  My kids and I stayed the whole time and our fingers and toes were so pruned up.  It was so nice to see everyone having fun with their kids, and it was nice to share a table with another mom, and just hang out with everyone and their families.  Check out some photos:

            

The past few months have been a blur, but a lot of fun.  I am looking forward to our next Mothers & More Meeting.
