We spent this weekend visiting family in Wisconsin. My mother-in-law planned a special get-together for everyone to be able to meet Chase. Nana, Matt, Chase, and I left for Wisconsin on Thursday afternoon. After a flight delay we finally made it in to town and we're able to make it just in time for Papa's football game. We had to stop off at Target to get some hats and gloves because it was freezing (& who doesn't love a good trip to Target!) Chase absolutely loved watching the game. He was so intent watching every play. He loved being able to visit with daddy and Papa briefly during half-time. At the end of the game he got to run out on the field. After several minutes of playing (and being waaaay past bedtime) I finally pulled him off the field. He wasn't too happy about that, but he got to carry the football home and that seemed to do the trick. He even wanted to sleep with the ball, but we were able to sneak it out of his pack and play. First thing the next morning he said "football," which actually sounds more like "sh*tball" and started his day carrying around the football. The next morning we took a quick hike through the forest. The leaves at this time of year are amazing. Chase loved riding on Papa's shoulders.
Later that day we went to Kohler Design Center and then the ladies got to do some shopping across the way. Talk about a great afternoon! We met up with Aunt JJ and the boys for dinner. Despite the not-so-great service we had great food. We started the next morning getting ready for the party. My mother-in-law planned a fabulous menu. I got to meet some new friends and visit with some old friends. Chase had fun playing with some kids before finally begging for "nap time." After we put him down for a nap Matt and I slipped away to head to Appleton to meet up with Diron. We had a great time hanging with Diron, Mike & Amy, Aunt JJ, and Marty. Matt and I had to head back to Plymouth so we could head out early this morning. The rest of the gang is still going strong at the Packers/Vikings game right now.
We had such a great time! We can't wait to see everyone again in a few weeks.
