Wisconsin Trip

When Abram told me that he was going out of town for work and asked us to go with him, I was kind of hoping for a sunny, beach location. Instead he announced it was Wisconsin! Not where I would have chose but it turned out to be very nice and a lot of fun.
While Abram was working the kids and I would keep busy by finding something fun to do. The first day we found this awesome park. It had really cool slides, rock walls and bridges. Of course my son only got on this dinosaur bouncy thing. REAL ADVENTUROUS! I bet Braelyn is going to be my daredevil.

The Park had a dam with a very pretty river. We spend over two hours just watching the water and animals. We found a few ducks that would walk right up to us every time I shook my polar pop ice. Aedyn thought that was really cool!

My little outdoors man found this tree which he wanted to climb. :)

Aedyn watched this Wood Chuck (I think that's what it is) running over the rocks by the water. If you know my husband, you know that Abram and Aedyn are one a like for Nature.

On the second day, Abram ended up working really late in a not so pretty, kind of scary part of town. We decided to stay at the store location with him. The kids took a nap from 5pm to 8pm (WHAT A MOM) and were ready to play. Braelyn was just as happy as could be just laying on a blanket and talking to Aedyn and I.

Aedyn was just happy that he could still watch NOGGIN at the store. I think he watched a record amount of Wow Wow Wubbzy and Little Bear on this day. And Yes, that is a starbucks for my child...I promis it was just Chocolate milk, that he thought was "Gross". Great, I spend $4 bucks on a "gross" drink :)

Aedyn was taking pictures inside the store, so I have a lot of pictures of cell phones, computers, the floor and this actually good one. I am usually not on this end of the camera.

How about that, my son, the kindergarten teacher's kid, is working on writing letters. I promis, I don't do this all the time :) He does enjoy writing and playing school. Ahh, something I'm good at.

During our late night at the store, Abram booked a hotel for that night in the next city. As I was on the computer looking to see if it looked nice, I discovered that it had a wonderful young kids water park inside. What a wonderful suprise! So we decided to start off slow the next day and stay and play for a while. Aedyn would not go down the water slide for the longest time. I then talked him into getting our picture up on it and then ride down on my lap. By the end of the day he had went on the slide at least 50 times by himself. It was so funny how he would hold his breath right at the end.

Our trip turned out to be a great time. Many times Abram is on the road by himself and Aedyn just knows daddy will be home in a couple of days. I think this helped Aedyn understand when daddy leaves what he is up to, minus the park and waterslides. We ended up stopping at my favorite store (IKEA) on the way home. Thanks for letting us go along for the ride, Abram,
WE LOVE YOU!
