Well at the beginning of October we loaded up the kids and braved another long trip. This time we went to Winter Wi, were my parents live. The kids actually did pretty good, they started to get restless the last 45 or so, but hey who's complainin'! Cole discovered the joys of peeing outside (Todd chose the ideal location- A Mennonite Church!) and then feigned a full bladder at the most inopportune times. Overall we got there unscathed and all still friends. The weather did not cooperate quite as we had hoped and unfortunately the kids had to spend much of the time indoors. We did spend an afternoon in Hayward, shopping and having lunch during which time Cole announced to one particular shop owner that he had to "get out of here" because "this store is old!" With that we quickly exited while Grandma and Papa finished their purchases! The highlight of the trip for Cole was when Papa and his his Dad took him fishing. Grandma bought him a new Spiderman fishing pole and he was ready to go. He had saved some Gummy worms from the day before for bait, had multiple layers of clothes on and was ready to go! Cole caught his first fish, a bluegill, and a smile from ear to ear! By all reports Cole loved casting- A LOT-! Gavin just had fun running around seeing how quickly mom and dad and everyone else could get up to save him from the stairs, and he loved looking out the window for the dog, Lilly. He has not stopped calling for her to this day! We all had a great time visiting with my parents and seeing their new home and business. The trip back was fantastically uneventful, Cole watched movies, (or I should say a movie, over and over) Gavin called for Lilly and Todd and I listened to Cole's movie "Everybody's Hero" for the 7th time that week! We returned home to find everything just as we had left it!
