Memorial day In milwalkee

We just got back from our annual trip to Milwaukee and man we had a good time. I got a little nervous getting on the plane with 3 little ones for so long by myself with a lay over. Plus we added time because our lay over was totally out of the way. I learned it is far better to pay for a more expensive ticket then to deal with the kids on a plane a lone. The flights actually went great until the last two minutes when Lili pooped through her clothes and Liam fell as asleep as we were landing. Obviously I couldn't carry him, Lili and all our stuff. Needless to say at the moment things got complicated. Lili seemed to be teething and every night would poop all over her crib...that wasn't fun. We mainly spent our days at the Malnars but one day we went to the children's, museum, we went to the zoo twice (once when Jacob was there and another with out him) We went to Chicago, and went to the museum of Science and industry, and of course we made it to the Walworth county fair.

So this picture was taken as we were landing. I was so happy we made it and everything went pretty smooth. Wrong! 5 minutes later all heck broke loose. Liam fell asleep and didn't want to get off the plane Lilly had a blow out and the airline broke my stroller

I put Lilly to bed and then saw this...This right here is the exact reason I fly by myself with three small children. Seriously these cousins are having so much fun and they are loving it

Her first sucker

 

 

 

I never want to forget...

• Again this year at the fair it was very hot. We stayed a little bit too long and we all were very hot, very tired and very thirsty. On the way to the car I looked at the kids and stopped and said Jacob if we don't get a drink now all heck is gong to break loose on the way home. Jacob talked the Lemonade people into giving us water. Oh my goodness that water was heavenly. We all were drinking it like mad. Once we got to the car Ben and cooled it down and tried to get Liam out of the stroller and into the car. Liam said to Ben, "In just a second I will get up. Right now I am so thirsty. I will take a drink and then get up." Liam then drank for a minute or so. Then he got up and looked and me and ben and with a totally serious face said, "mom I was so hot I almost DIED!" I died laughing most people don't speak Liam so when I told everyone else we all started laughing he is such a funny boy.
• I don't know why but for some reason during or visit Eli would always fight with Benson. It was like Eli didn't understand he was a baby and would get mad when Benson would do little things. It seriously took the whole week to make Eli understand the Benson was a baby.
• On the plane ride home Eli would randomly start crying and say I miss my friends. I want to go back and play with my friends. It broke my heart. I wish our family lived closer.
• First trip to Chicago for me. It was a blast. Totally different then I expected. I thought it would be similar to New York , but nope. It has it's own cool vibe.
