Wisconsin Visit

We spent the first week of November in Wisconsin to celebrate the wedding of our good friend Matt Zickert and his wonderful bride Lisa (pics in next post). We really enjoyed the fall weather from the chilly 30 degree Halloween night to the 70 degree wedding day. Parker loved to play outside on the grass and in the leaves. We had a wonderful time visiting all of our friends and family. You don't realize how much you miss them until you have to leave again. Thank you all who made our trip so much fun. We love you very much and miss you tremendously.
We spent an afternoon at Julie's house and enjoyed her front yard.

We spent a night at my Uncle Dave's in Illinois and were able to meet our new cousin Kylie Shae.
We stayed with Matt's parents and they watched Parker for us while we went out with friends and did the non-kid friendly (but oh so fun) wedding stuff.
We spent an afternoon at the Zoo with Julie, Maddox & Zane. The Henry Villas Zoo is free and had an amazing play structure for the kids. Parker LOVED looking at the animals and playing on the playground. He would get mad and cry and arch his back whenever I would pick him up to put him on a new toy. He thought I we were leaving and he didn't want to go!
Grandma Jo watched Parker for a day so Matt, my Dad and I could go golfing.
First, Parker had to help Papa Doug fix Aunt DD's roof.
Yep, that is about the biggest smile you will get from my Dad when it comes to pictures.
