Hello Spring
I think one of the hardest things about living in Michigan is the endless long Winter. We have gotten out of a lot of it the last two years, so this year was extra tough on me. My Facebook memories have been reminding me that we were RVing in warmer states the last two years…

Last Day
We have one more day of this trip, before heading home. Brandon has three store trainings today and then we head back. I am always a mix of anxious and dread going back. I can’t wakt to get back to my own bed and house, but I also dread the work that lays ahead. We…

Chicago
The last time we were in a Chicago it was a cloudy day. We had made plans to take the kids up to the skydeck of the Willis(formerly Sears) Tower. We had read all about it. We learned it is the second(only second to the new World Trade Center) tallest building in the USA. Joah…

Jelly Belly
Last night we found a really cool restaraunt in Wis Dells owned by the same people as Buffalo Phil’s. It was called Moose Jaw. Little miss wouldn’t leave her antler hat on. The food and atmosphere were great. We loved it. One of the kids’ very favorite places we’ve ever visited was the Jelly Belly…

Wis Dells
I’ve got to be honest. I was debating staying home while Brandon traveled this trip alone. I knew a good portion of it was going to be spent in Wisconsin. I said “what are we going to do, sit around and eat cheese?”(which by the way wouldn’t have been terrible). I really had no idea…

Travel Day
Remember the ending of my last blog? The part about us going to bed early? It was a wonderful thought of mine. I forgot, for just a minute, who I married though. While we were sitting around the hotel room and all hungry and about to snack(we ate a really late lunch/early dinner), Brandon says…

Mall of America
We can’t come to Minneapolis and not go to the Mall of America. At least I thought so, prior to today. We have always visited the mall during the week before. Usually we come toddler Tuesdays for that amusement park discount wristband. We only had Saturday available this time to go. As soon as we…

The Surprise
Apparently my abrupt ending caused some suspense. Sorry about that! The big surprise was a Disney on Ice show. We saw that they were touring Minneapolis right when we were arriving. I think they’re making their way to Michigan, because I saw the same show is coming to us soon. Mickeys Search Party Show was…

Wisconsin Training Day
I forgot to include a couple stories from yesterday. When we were visiting the grotto(which is apparently very holy and sacred to the Catholic Church) yesterday, we had to park across the street. It was starting to drizzle. We were unloading the kids when we realized Caed had his hand outside the van door for…

Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin
I should clarify what I was trying to convey in my previous blog post. I definitely wasn’t trying to appear ungrateful or say that my life is bad. Good grief. That’s not the case at all. I am blessed beyond measure. I do recognize that. We have some of the funnest times. We have so…
