WI trip

The last week of the fellowship year Chuck was on-call every other night. That on top of him being busy taking over the service was the perfect time for the kids & I to take a trip home to WI. We had a jam packed couple weeks and had a fabulous time. Time sure flies when you're having as much fun as we did. I of course took a ton of pictures and will eventually get the blog all up to date. I'll start at the beginning. Here it goes...

We flew in late Thursday night. We always fly on small planes with only two seats per side. The best they could do on the way up was to have Carter sit behind Audrey & I. I felt so bad but he handled it real well. I was so proud of him! At least I was able to reach between the seats to help him out with things.

Friday was a lazy recoup day. Our plane didn't land until 9:30pm the night before so by the time we got the kids to bed it was crazy late. Angela & I did squeeze in a quick stop at the outlets that day :)

Saturday, mom drove down to spend the weekend with us. It was a gorgeous day out so we decided to go to the Milwaukee Zoo. An added bonus was that our B'ham membership got us in free so we only had to pay for parking.

The kids had fun feeding the goats. Although, I think Uncle Brett enjoyed it even more. I personally think they're kind of gross and made sure the kids scrubbed their hands clean when they were done.

The zoo has these machines that make plastic molds of different animals throughout the exhibits. Every time we passed one Carter said he wanted one. At the end of the day Grandma Debbie caved and let him get one. He ended up deciding on the elephant. It made his day! He calls it his trophy.

We managed to get someone to take a group picture. Audrey had fallen asleep by the time we took it though. Still turned out nice.

We had a great time at the zoo and almost saw everything. After we left the zoo we went to one of Grandma Debbie's favorites, Red Lobster for dinner.
