This visit was far better! The kids slept pretty well; taking into consideration the change to central time zone and daylight savings time happened. Both the ride there and the ride home went really well. We made great time thanks to Alec :) We got a chance to test out our new van, Brie loved the DVD player of course!
We arrived Thursday just before dinner time. It was great to just let the kids play and be out of the car. Friday we headed to the Milwaukee children's museum. Such a cool place with a little town set up, Brie really liked it! There were so many people though which was kind of a bummer.....but we still had fun.
Pretending to be a vet!
They had the coolest grocery store, I would have just LOVED this as a kid!!!
We had a ton of fun spending time with Brad and Jessie again!
Brie and Bennett played well together!
We even got an adult only dinner out which was amazing! Reminded me so much of the 'olden' days before we all had kiddos :)
We took turns with the guys getting out of the house. Brad and Alec went and checked out a couple local breweries. And Jessie and I got to sneak out for a bit to do some shopping and get pedicures.....it was heavenly!
Saturday night I started not feeling so well. I kind of just figured it was something weird and kept on going. We got the kids ready for trick or treating, deciding to leave Eleanor and Leah home since the weather was rough. I started feeling worse so also stayed back from trick or treating. 2 other couple friends and their kids came over for the halloween festivities so I was trying hard to feel up to it. But by the time dinner time had come around I was so sick feeling. I threw up a few times, felt light headed, and just couldn't be upright. Despite that little hiccup though.....the kids and Alec had a fun halloween! Brie loved trick or treating!
We had such a fun time though; bummer I got sick and had to miss church Sunday. But Alec was able to go and took the kids (he really is super daddy!), he said it was cool to be back in our old church and say hi to people there again. The ride home went far better than I thought it would. I could hardly move my head without feeling super sick; both kids slept for the beginning part of the drive (and so did I!). Then Brie watched a movie and we just kept handing Leah random things and food to keep her busy. Alec drove like the wind and got us home in 4hrs and 3min (that is a new record for those that have not made that drive before....).
It really was a great trip! Sometimes I just can't hardly believe how much life has changed since we started hanging out with Brad and Jessie. We used to hang out at least once a week, sometimes more than that! And now we live 300 miles apart and have 4.5 kids between the two of us! Crazy!
We aren't 100% sure when the next time we will get together again is; hopefully once more before I have this baby! Beyond having the baby I can hardly think about what life will be like....probably a bit more complicated and busy!
