Hi everyone! It was a LONG trip to Wisconsin, but we did pretty good. Left our house at 8:03am and arrived in Kohler about 9:15pm (10:15 EST). I guesstimated pretty good -- 12 1/2 hours, plus an hour for each kid! Rachel waited up for us, which was fun for us to arrive and see her right away.
Saturday, we were all pretty beat...us from the drive and Rachel from waiting up for us, so we just hung around the house. Aunt Judi brought a Brio train set for Rachel and Jake. It was Sean's and I offered it to Jim for the kids a while back, but he wanted to wait until the playroom downstairs was finished before accepting any more toys. Dad finished that room for Jimmy during August when they were here, so Kate thought it would be great to have it now. 
It was a big hit! Jake absolutely loved it. So much that he was a little selfish with his sister and a couple fights ensued. They are very much like Jimmy and I were. She's a bossy big sister and he's a feisty, take no prisoners, little brother. She thinks nothing of telling him what she wants him to do, and he takes a big swing at her with whatever toy is handy if her idea doesn't suit him. (Jimmy used to bite me.) Sunday we're heading out to Blue Harbor - a waterpark. Pictures of that outing later!
