WI Part III

Another 1 or 2 posts and I think I will have the bulk of the Wisconsin trip covered.

This weekend we were busy with our garage sale. We didn't make a ton of money but we got rid of some junk and met some interesting people! It's been super hot and muggy here so we've been trying to stay cool.

The another day Brett put two words together for the first time when he said "bye bye daddy" and today he said " one more"!

On July 4th chillin with daddy

Brett can't resist anything with water in it!

Playing ladder ball. We even got his Great Great Aunt Pat to throw a few.

A new view on life

His Grandma Mohler said she wants to take a picture of him with the angel every summer.

Chance had to get in on the picture at the last second

Wisconsin Vacation Part II

One evening we went over to Brett's Great Aunt Jackie's house for some good food and company. Brett had a blast over there riding the tractor, playing with the toys, and watching the farmer.

Jackie had gotten Brett those capsules that turn into dinosaurs when you drop them in water. Apparently you needed warm water because we waited forever not realizing this and dropped them in cold water. Eventually we had sponge dinosaurs!

Smiley!

Notice the "more" sign by Brett

Grandpa and Grandma Bingham started a tradition where Brett gets some goodies on his half birthday. Only those born close to Xmas get this special treatment!

Grandma Karen drew a great picture of Brett during her time in her Art class

Our Vacation Pictures

Things have finally settled down after our fun vacation in Wisconsin and SW Michigan. It's our annual trip over the 4th that we look forward to every year now. While we missed my brother, sister-n-law, and niece....we look forward to next year with 2 toddlers running around. Brett was a great traveler through it all and had a blast exploring all the new places. Weather was great so we really enjoyed being outside. I have a feeling when Brett gets older he will be asking when is the next trip to Wisconsin.

As other new parents can attest to, we took a ton of pictures. With so many highlights, I'll have to split it up over a few posts. Enjoy!

In the Wisconsin Dells, feeding the ducks.

We decided to play mini-golf (at least that's what we call it in WI). I had this vision of Brett actually putting with me, Kristin, my mom, and stepdad.....nope. Turned into one big toddler exploration. I think all 4 of us finished about 2 holes. Most shots Brett would grab the ball and either throw it in the bushes or water.

"a ball"


Grandpa Bingham reading stories

All of us headed down to the river with mom and Jim to check out "lunch by the river", and to harrass the ducks!

USA, USA, USA!

Mmmmmmmm, we loved the Jamaican jerk chicken!
