Wisconsin

We were in Wisconsin for a very quick three days so I could say goodbye to grandpa. We arrived in Milwaukee late at midnight on Wednesday the 10th. Andy worked all day on Thursday while I played with Max and helped my parents prepare food for the funeral. Max made the dip for the veggies and he was very proud of himself.

Thanks to my friend, Kim, for letting us borrow her son's snow gear so Max could get outside and see snow for the first time. I bundled him up and we headed outside. I expected this to be a quick five minutes because it was cold out and I assumed my AZ child wouldn't like it, but we were outside for 45 minutes. This kid never got cold while I was freezing the whole time. He was just exploring the snow and trying to see what it was. He told me to make him a snowman, then a snowball, but unfortunately the snow was not packing snow so that didn't happen.

Max spent all day on Friday with grandma L so that Andy and I could attend the funeral service. I didn't feel like it was appropriate to take a two year old and I was not in the mood to entertain him. I wanted to spend this time with family and say goodbye. Max had a much better time with grandma L all day. I did get this awesome picture of him making snow angels. I am sure he exhausted grandma L all day and I know he had a blast at her house.

I didn't take many photos while we were there, but I did take a couple of Max playing cars with grandma V and helping her lose the game she was playing on her iPad.

Saturday morning we went to visit my grandma, but that was cut short due to Max vomiting on her kitchen floor. Max was fine before we left the house, but shortly after walking in the flu took over. We immediately headed back to my parents house so Max could rest. We spent all day hanging around the house talking about good times with grandpa while Max rested. He did get some bursts of energy where he would get up and play with grandpa.

We flew out early Sunday morning and you already read how that lovely day went. Max spent the next few days at home recuperating from the flu and watching Paw Patrol for three days straight. I have the theme song in my head and it's slightly annoying. We tried to get him to watch something else, anything else, but he refused. It was Paw Patrol on a continuous repeat of 7 different episodes. That is his latest thing, Paw Patrol. I am not surprised though because this show is about dogs who drive a fire truck, garbage truck, police car, helicopter, etc. That show is right up his alley. After three days of Paw Patrol it was time to head back to the doctor for a check up to make sure he could go to play with his friends at Ms. Marie's house.
