We went on a road trip to Madison on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Because we're crazy we decided to go there and back on the same day which is 6 hours in a car (3 hours each way). The kids were amazing - there was only about a 20 minute melt down for Lillian on the way home when she got woken up from her nap and after a few minutes in we realized we hadn't fed her dinner (she eats dinner usually around 4, before the rest of us). It took us the next 15 minutes to convince her she really did want to eat and then she was happy Lillian again. We spent the car rides both ways listening to music and looking out the window. Lillian made Digit the Piglet dance along with some songs and we all had fun. Simon spent about 20 minutes of quiet time (while Lillian napped) listening to his own music on his headphones and looking out the window.
We spent 4 hours in Madison with Chris, Erika, Casey (8) and Darby (6). Simon LOVED playing with the boys. Lillian was a bit too little to keep up but she tried hard to do so! Though we didn't get to do much catching up due to kid chasing, it was nice just to hang out with Chris and Erika. We actually spent the day at Chris's workplace - EPIC. It was amazing. There was a small beach and huge, perfectly manicured lawns. Lillian wondered probably further than she has been from adult supervision in her whole life! It was a great day that will hopefully be repeated in the near future.

That is a fake duck. They spent 10 minute trying to coax it to come closer.
This is Chris's WORK. That's us up on the balcony. Kids were swimming in the water.
Still Chris's Work - perfect grass. We ate, played ball and generally had a blast running around.
Little does Lillian know that Chris just gave her Orange/Banana JUICE.
