Labor Day

Bean and I had a busy Labor day weekend. We met Stef and Lil' Max for some shopping at Johnson's Creek then we made our first long drive alone to the Dells. Daddy was away at Preppy's house (Shawn for those that don't know him) and Bean and I were going to spend the night at Grandma & Grandpa V's condo in the Dells -According to my neice Ella it is her condo :).

Bean did great on the car ride. She slept the whole way! We had a great time at the Condo and she loved the change of scenery. She went to bed great and had a lot of fun playing. As you can see from the pictures she loved the large foot stool b/c she could play on it and it didn't hurt if she bumped her head. We also found a cool play table in the toy room that grandma let us take home!

Unfortunately I didn't take her swimming. For an indoor pool it is really cold and I didn't want to subject her to that :) and by the time I thought about it I didn't want to change her clothes and mine. We did dip her feet in and she loved splashing. There will be plenty more visits to the condo where she can go swimming. I think next summer she'll have a lot more fun in the pool.

On Sunday we left the dells and headed to Grandma G's house. Bean was great and slept the whole way there. When we got to Grandma's she was all smiles and she had so much fun playing. Bean gave Grandma lots of love and can't wait to see her again.

I had the rest of the week off so Bean and I visited some friends and played a lot at home. On Thursday we met Julie, Jameson, Mandy and James up in Oshkosh for some shopping and lunch. I was so lucky that Bean slept the entire car ride there and back.

We are very lucky we have a baby that likes the car. We haven't taken any vacations, but being able to have a baby who will sit in the car for a trip to Appleton or a trip to the store is a great. Hopefully, it means we will have no problem going to visit family and friends. Hopefully in the near future we can test out her ability to be in the car for longer periods of time.
