Briella in WI--Cute and Goofy

Briella loved being around so many people willing to play with her or hold her . . . she got goofier every day and I'm not sure if it was the heat, the lack of sleep, or the overdose of attention . . .
The best part about the trip for Brie was the opportunity to hold her newest cousin.  It makes me wonder how she will handle our little one in a couple months . . . the baby cannot be held ALL the time!

A few WI highlights

We recently spent a week in Wisconsin with my entire family, including the newest addition Sophia (Pam and Keith's).  Much time was spent holding her and watching her . . . she is a precious little girl and has travelled a lot in 3 weeks :)

 

We did some hiking and the kids enjoyed climbing on the rocks.

 We stayed in cabins near a lake and spent lots of time at the beach.

 

Gideon spent lots of time making messes . . .
 

We also stopped at the Jelly Belly warehouse on the way.  The kids liked the train ride and free Jelly Bellies . . . so did I . . . my family enjoyed the Belly Flops we shared :)
It was a fun week, even though it ended with a couple of scorching days.  I'll post more pics later.
