On Wisconsin

In August we were fortunate enough to fly to Wisconsin for a week. It was gorgeous! The weather was incredible (warm, not muggy; no mosquitos; and a good, old fashioned thunderstorm). We saw tons of relatives the kids and I have never met. Everyone was so kind and friendly. Everything was so green, unlike Oregon in the middle of August. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. They also have the tallest corn I've ever seen. Check out the photo of the four cousins below.




The highlight of our trip was surely a trip to the pig farm. We saw grown-up pigs and teenage pigs and baby pigs and they were all adorable. The kids got to sit on a horse bareback and one of the horses tried to eat the skirt right off my person (somewhat embarassing).



This trip marked the first plane ride (4 actually, when it was all said and done) for all three kids. It was long and definitely not fun by the time we boarded our last plane. But it was an experience to be remembered, if nothing else. And let me tell you, walking on solid ground never felt so good!
