Wisconsin Trip 2018

We traveled to Wisconsin again this fall. Joseph had an extremely time-intensive turnaround from the end of September through mid-November. His hours were 5am to 6pm for 13 days straight and then one day off. This day off was on every other Sunday, which was nice but we still missed him around. To break up the long six weeks, I decided to head to Wisconsin with the three kids. I flew again as I can't fathom driving alone with all three yet. One year...  Although, I like to think I have the flying thing figured out so switching it up would be odd. We'll try a road trip next summer.

The kids did great on the flights and traveling. Ashton is a pro and Tanner is almost a pro. The only things he needs to work on is a quiet voice on the plane and not kicking the seat in front of us. And Gemma seems to follow suit with being a great baby while traveling. We only went for six days so if the trip was terrible, it was at least short. We had a great visit and enjoyed spending time with my family. Here are some highlights:

We fly to and from Minneapolis now, which is a great airport for kids. The Chick Fil A is right next to a large kid's play area, which is also right next to the tram. I know they did that on purpose.

My sister is at my parents' home for a few months while they transition to new jobs. It was a blast to spend time with her too.

We ventured out to a new park by the Wausau airport. Best park ever! Plus we got to see lots of small planes land and take off, which was a dream come true for Tanner.

Typical Gemma- always happy

I took the kids to the Stevens Point Children's Museum one day and met up with my sister at her new job at UWSP. It was a fun museum but children's museums are difficult with multiple kids at different ages. It's hard to keep track of everyone at the same time as they spread out. Thankfully, this one was smaller so it was a little easier.

One of my favorite pictures. The kids loved running outside and riding the lawnmower with my dad.
