We left Wednesday morning after you had eaten and got the car all packed up. So much stuff to remember and to pack. It barely all fit in our car. It is about a 3 hour drive so we were hoping you'd sleep the whole way. With your teething issues the previous day we were a little worried how you'd be too. You fell asleep about 10 mins in but woke up a half hour later or so. We stopped in Lacrosse quick to make a quick stop to Kohls for mom. haha Its amazing the stuff you can forget when you are packing for the baby and yourself and then suddenly realize you forgot stuff once off on the road.
You eventually fell back to sleep and slept the rest of the way to Grandpa and Grandma K's house in De Forest, WI. Once we got there you needed to eat right away and then you were good to go. They of course were anxious to see/hold you. We hung around there for a few hours until the start of Lee's Grandpas 90th bday party. It was a little over a half hour away so we had to pack you back up into the car. You luckily slept the whole way there. Once were there you were very alert looking at all the people. There were prob over 100 people there. It was such a perfect night. Warm with a slight breeze. Everyone was anxious to meet you!
We stayed until close to 8pm then decided we better get you home for bed time before you got overtired. You usually get this way between 7-8pm so you were doing well for making it that long. We got you back to Grandpa and Grandmas and fed you and got you ready for bed. You slept until around 12 and then wanted to eat..then you kinda tossed and turned the rest of the time until about 6 am and then we got you up and fed you. This caused you to be very sleepy the entire day.
We headed over to a family friends house to watch the parade and have lunch for the 4th of July. We dressed you in two holiday outfits for the day haha...courteous of Grandma Ann. tee hee. You were too cute! You slept through the entire parade in your stroller and everyone oohed and ahhed over you. You woke up in time for lunch and walked around and looked at everyone. You love to walk around and see what is happening. After lunch, around 1 we decided we better go get packed up and get ready to head back.
You managed to sleep the entire way home as well. WE stopped about an hour away from home for gas and you woke up so we fed you quick in the parking lot..classy!! Just in case you'd be hungry before getting home. You stayed up for a couple hours after we were home and then you were out cold again and went to bed early..around 7pm. I was shocked I thought for sure wed pay for you sleeping so much that day and youd be up all night long.. You managed to sleep until around 230..ate and woke up a couple times and woke up a little before 9 to eat again.
First trip to WI was very successful!!
