Quick Trip up to Wausau

This weekend we drove up to Wausau for the weekend.  It was a short trip as we didn't drive
up until Friday afternoon, but we still found plenty of things to keep us busy.  We went to
watch Aiden play football on Saturday morning and ran into a T-rex there.
You can imagine how big of a hit that was with Joe and Owen.

This weekend happened to be Rothschild Fest, so we were fortunate enough to have

a parade and then a festival in the evening with some bounce houses, a kids train,

and cotton candy bigger than Owen's head!

And the weekend wouldn't be complete without a trip to TJ Maxx with my mom.  The bags

are mostly filled with new fall clothes for Owen, but I found a few awesome long sweaters.  I also scoured their candle section for my favorite scent and bought every one I could find.

Peony Petals...I love it!!  Now that's what I call a successful shopping trip. 

Even though we had to turn around and drive home on Sunday, we had packed so much
into the weekend that it made it seem longer.  And by now the boys are used to these drives
which makes it a little easier.  A couple of pit stops and we're good to go.
