Last weekend was Lucy's first trip "up north" to visit Auntie Kim & Uncle Brandon. It was a whirlwind of a weekend - we actually headed south to Freeport before heading north up to the Dells. After our whirlwind Freeport stop a 2 hour trip took about 3 hours because we had to stop three or four different times. Carter thought he had to "do the deed" so we stopped quite a few times along the side of the road with our trusty blue potty! The first time the weeds were just a little tall for the seat and kept tickling Carter. So on we went (guessing he had a little stage fright!). Next stop was just about 10 minute north and this time there were too many rocks and guess who was playing with them?

Finally... we made it to Wisconsin where we stopped at a bar and mission accomplished. Now it was time for Lucy to eat so our quick stop turned into a 45 minute stop by the time all was said and done. Are we there yet?? Sheesh!!

Finally made it to Baraboo where we hooked up with the Wegner's and went to the Sauk County Fair. Fair food...ohhhhh how good! Carter was able to look at all the animals and discovered that the pigs and rabbits were his favorite. He loved petting the bunnies and feeling their soft fur. The pigs noses were so gooey but they had these little holes that he could stick his fingers in. :)







After our long hike across northern IL and southern WI we were finally able to catch some sleep!! We had a big day planned for Saturday...the circus! We saw lions, puppies and elephants! Speaking of...daddy and Carter got to ride one too! It was pretty fun! Thanks again Uncle Brandon!! It was also our first opportunity for our group shot tradition...believe it or not, we got everyone too! As our group continues to grow we have to be more creative at working everyone into the shot!

What would a trip up to the Dells be without our Saturday night dinner at Pizza Pub...mmmmm so good! Thanks again guys for such a fun trip!!! As always, our gracious hosts show us a good time!!! We can't wait to see you again soon...especially since we need our potty seat back! :)
