The Start of Wisconsin

We made it! A few more plane rides under our belt. Ashton did great on the flights. She loved watching the planes move at the airport. As long as the DVD player was on Daniel Tiger on the first flight, she was happy. A little boy sat behind us so we shared toys and then a dog was two rows behind us. Between that and special markers, we made it to Minneapolis. The second flight was nap time and she fell asleep before take off and didn't wake up until the gate in Wausau. Wonderful!

We went out Friday night to a local music festival and saw my sister, aunts and uncles. Ashton enjoyed running outside and getting some energy out. She wasn't too impressed by Wisconsin cheese curds but I'm hoping it is because they were a little too hot. Saturday, my dad watched Ashton so we could have a girl's day with my sister, mom, cousins, and grandma. It was a blast. Ashton had fun at a local park and rode a train, visited the splash pad, and played on the playground. We went to church Sunday and it was fun to see some families. The ward continues to change a lot so I don't know too many people anymore.

Monday, we headed to the library to see the fish tank my uncle helped design. Ashton enjoyed that. That night, an old friend from high school and her parents came over for dinner. It was great to see them as my friend and I haven't seen each other in about four years. Today we spent the morning at the local art museum as they have toddler Tuesday activities. Ashton loved painting. After that, we went to get a repair done on my mom's truck and they had a pretty cool play area. Ashton keeps saying it is cold here, which it is. The high today is 68 degrees. She enjoys having a reason to wear her coat though.

I think the only bad thing so far is Ashton's wake up time seems to be bumped up to 6am as opposed to 7ish. She's pretty grumpy in the morning. Oh, and Ashton fell off the bed and hit her head. Poor kid. But she loves it here. Hooray!


We made a stop at a grocery store. They had little carts and she loved pushing it around.
