Tory's 1st Trip to the Cabin

Andi and I took Tory to our Wisconsin lake cabin for the first time this weekend. We were a little nervous for the drive there and back (even though it's a short 1.5 hour trip) because she HATES her car seat and screams to high heavens every time she's in it for longer than a few minutes. Aside from a freak out crying burst at mid-point each way, the trip went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy some quality family time, just the three of us.

Friday night, Andi grilled steaks and steamed artichokes and we snuggled up in front of the fire to catch up on our favorite fall television shows. These days, our evenings usually consist of dance parties in the living room (aka: pacing the floors with a baby who wants to walk around the house ALL. THE. TIME.) which doesn't leave much room for must-see tv. For some reason that night, Tory was content to sleep through the evening, so long as one of us held her. Her earlier-than-usual 7pm bedtime was nice at first until mama was up all night long with a bad case of engorgement and no breast pump. Not fun and very little sleep for me. It was the first time I was actually thankful when Tory woke up at 3am to eat!

After breakfast on Saturday morning, we piled into the car to adventure rural Wisconsin. Andi stopped by an auto dealer to check on our wakeboard boat for sale, then we visited Nature's Select Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch. We snapped a few photos and picked out her very first pumpkin!

We spent the rest of the afternoon taking Chloe for a walk around the cabin and visiting with the cabin neighbors. A perfect fall weekend!
