We left Friday morning to drive out to Appleton, WI for Brad's cousin's wedding. The weather was perfect for driving and I started the 5.5 hour treck. We stopped in La Crosse at Myrick Park Zoo. It is currently being renovated/expanded so there were no animals but it had a HUGE playground and the three of us had a blast playing on it! We grabbed some lunch and got to Appleton at about 3:30. We all took a nice 2 hour nap and went swimming when we woke up then picked up some supper to eat in the hotel room.
Saturday we got up early, grabbed breakfast and drove 25 miles to Green Bay. Yes, the home of the Packers (boooooooooooooo!) but there we were checking out one of the greatest football stadiums in the NFL. I was in absolute awe of it and was glad we got there early to get tickets before the mad rush got there! We took a 1-hour tour and then went through the Packer Hall of Fame which is very interesting and had something for all ages. There was a fun room for kids so Alayna checked that out. We weren't able to check out too much because we had to get back to the hotel to shower up and make it to the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and reception was wonderful with a delicious spread and good times had by all! We took Alayna back to the room and crashed about 11. The day went fast for us so I can't even imagine how the wedding party felt! Overall it was a gorgeous day and weekend.
Sunday morning we took off about 8am and stopped in La Crosse to have a picnic by the river. We had planned to relax at home but changed our minds and went to Fun Days in North Mankato. Alayna went on 5 rides and of course went to the park. It was nice for her to run around and have fun after being stuck in a carseat for several hours. She did so well the entire trip and were really proud of her! Brad and Alayna picked up the pups while I went to a baby shower for our friend, Katie. We are now watching Alayna's favorite movie, The Lion King and ready to hit the hay. Have a great week everyone!
