Grammy offerred to take us to Wisconsin during her first week of Fall Break the first week of October. I was pretty nervous about how that would work but in the end we decided to give it a shot and we had three super little travlers. Thank you Grammy for taking us and thank you to all our family for helping us have such a great time!

The primary reason we went was to visit Great Grandma Carlson. She is the only great grandparent that the kids have now. She loves babies and Jackson was no exception! :)
Grammy and Reagan giving Jackson some well deserved loving after a long night/day
(we ended up leaving about midnight eastern time because the girls were so excited about the trip they couldn't get to sleep) in the van.
Aunt Carla and Uncle Pete brought their grand daughter, Amber, over Saturday evening to visit us for a little while before church. Note the awesome Ladybug boots from Aunt Arla Reagan is wearing. Amber decided they were super cool too and had to try on Kennedy's.
After supper Reagan was more than ready to go see Uncle Phil and his cows. On our way to the barn we passed Brandon on a tractor. He very nicely offered the girls a ride. Reagan was so excited but Kennedy was a bit nervous. Even though she's going through a shy period her shyness kind of surprised me because she's fascinated by trucks and tractors right now.
The girls love a special kind of string cheese, called whips, the cheese factory Uncle Phil's milk goes to makes. Reagan had told me the first thing she was going to do when she saw Uncle Phil was ask him if he could get us some. Little did we know how quickly Uncle Phil could deliver and that he keeps some in the milkhouse on hand for his grandkids!
Reagan enjoyed talking to Uncle Phil while he milked the cows.
Great Grandma put Jackson right to sleep for a Sunday morning nap while we got ready for our picnic up on the "hill."
Oops, these got a little out of order... After nap time Sunday afternoon Jeanna and the kids came up to see Jackson and play with the girls. Here Aunt Arla is helping Ariel hold Jackson for the first time.
Kolton loved holding Jackson :)
Reagan adores Kolton (he's her "Prince Charming") and she especially loved sharing and showing off her baby brother
During our Wisconsin trip Reagan discovered she loves to take pictures (she definitely has some LaBar blood in her). Grammy had me take this picture especially for Uncle Andrew and Aunt Jen to enjoy.
Aunt Arla got all the kids this tent and tunnel to enjoy at Great Grandma's house and they all loved it! :)
Sunday morning we headed up to the "Hill" to enjoy a picnic/cookout on some of the boulders in the woods. Here the girls are waiting for their ride while sitting on Aunt Arla's pumpkins.
Such a little cutie pie!!! :)
Uncle Scott ready to drive Aunt Arla and Reagan up to the woods
Grammy carrying Kennedy in (After a month of spending time with grandparents and aunts and uncles I think Kennedy has forgotten that she has legs much less how they work... lol :)
We had lots of great pictures from our picnic/cookout. Thank you to Uncle Scott and Aunt Arla for arranging everything!
