Becoming a cheesehead

As many of you know, we took a trip to Wisconsin last week. Joseph was able to take lots of time off to come with us, which was even better! Ashton met lots of family, flew on several planes, and adjusted well to all the changes. It was a wonderful trip filled with lots of hugs and kisses.

The way there went pretty well. The first flight out of Houston was a little troubling since they boarded us and then made us wait for 30 minutes with no air conditioning. Ashton got fussy but a nice lady sitting in front of us held her and that fixed it. After that, she did pretty well with the flying. We landed and Grandpa and Grandma were waiting anxiously for us. We went to their house and had dinner. Ashton met her great aunt Lynn and great uncle Bill. Later Trescha and Charlie came to meet her.

Sunday, we drove over to Door County to celebrate my brother's wedding. We hung out at the resort and went swimming that night. Ashton did pretty good in the pool except it was a little cold. She met more family too.

Monday was the wedding and Ashton became fussy during it so she didn't see much of it. But we celebrated later. We even had my sister stay with Ashton while she slept in the hotel room so Joseph and I could dance together!

We matched. I made a matching skirt for the wedding. Ashton wasn't too impressed with matching.

Tuesday, we left and stopped in Green Bay to see Lambeau Field. We went on a tour and went to lunch at Curly's Pub. It was a lot of fun and Ashton surprised me by falling asleep in her stroller during lunch.

The rest of the week was filled with meeting Great-Grandma Ashton and relaxing in Wausau. She played with Molly, my parent's dog and enjoyed that. We also gave her a tasting of applesauce. Ashton liked it. But she didn't sleep any better. During the whole trip, Ashton woke up at least twice a night, sometimes three or four times. We got home yesterday and she only woke up once a night, thank goodness! Overall, Ashton adjusted well to sleeping in different places and being held by lots of new people. It was a great trip and we can't wait to go back.
