We Heart the Cheese State

Patrick had to travel to Wisconsin on business, so we decided to make a family vacation of it and lucky for us, Nene and Papa made the trip, as well so we could have a Wille of a good time!  (I am so cheesy!)  It was the first time we met Patrick's cousin's children, Sophie, Riley & Reagan and it was the first time any of the Wisconsin family would meet our offspring.  Harper loved having other kids her age to play with and we all loved seeing all the kids interact.  It was great family time and we were so grateful to Uncle Jerry and Aunt Trudy for their hospitality.  We loved seeing everyone!
Harper ready for the plane ride...such a big girl!
We arrived at midnight, so we didn't see anybody until the next morning when Nene and Papa came to our hotel (we stayed in a hotel for 2 nights).  We quickly headed out to meet Uncle Jerry, Aunt Trudy, Cousin Leslie and her 3 kids, & Cousin Erin and her 2 kids.  We had lunch (with custard, of course) and than a great time at a huge, fabulous park.

The grandparents took the kids and the cousins all went out for a fun-filled night of dinner, drinks and dancing (not fancy dancing, but neighborhood bar dancing).  We had a great time re-bonding and playing sans kids.
