Our weekend in Wisconsin

This weekend, we went to Wisconsin for my cousin Angela's wedding (my dad's side of the family). We got up early on Sat. a.m. and the wedding was at noon, so we left our house a little after 7 a.m. to get Kirby to the kennels (his favorite place to go, seriously!) and then headed down to my parents house to follow them. Kylie stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa's on Friday night so it was easier for us to get out the door on Sat. a.m. It worked out really well.

(Dawson pretending to drive -- it was quite hilarious)

We got to Wisconsin around 10:40 and checked into our hotel in Ladysmith and then unloaded a bit and headed to the church in Sheldon (about 20 mins. away). It was really nice to see all the family -- we see them a couple times a year and that's usually when they come to MN.

There was quite a gap in between the wedding and the reception, so we went to the local bar and picked up a pizza to go and went back to our hotel room and ate some lunch and Dave and Kylie went swimming, while Dawson and I took a snoozer. When Dawson and Kylie got back from swimming, they ended up falling asleep too and we didn't get up until 4:40 and the reception was at 5 p.m. Good thing its only a couple miles away.

(The kids were having a blast dancing - before the band even started)

(Dave, Kylie and Uncle Ryan dancing some more - it's a bit foggy as they had a fog machine going)!

We left the reception around 9:30ish and went home and we all took showers and headed to bed. We were just exhausted from traveling out there and having a long day!

Dawson got up at 5 a.m. -- woofta, that was early! We tried to ignore him, while he kept saying, Dada, Dada! LOL! Dave kept waiving to him and finally he laid back down and fell back to sleep until 830 a.m. :) We all got up, got ready for the day, had breakfast and visited with family for a bit longer and actually headed out around 9:45 a.m.

On our way home, as we were passing through the border, it started snowing -- YES SNOWING! Our first snowfall of the year! We also discovered that Dawson loves to eat his feet like his big sister!!
