So then summer happened. Last I wrote, it was (almost) Saturday at 7am and the weary band of travelers was headed East to the great state of WI rocking a rented minivan and enough Dramamine \"\"<\/a>to choke a horse–at least that’s sort of how it went down. Turns out I had a bad case of anxiety (I’m going to blame it on a really rough June and PMS) so in addition my dose of Dramamine I was also rocking a Xanax. We gave motion-sick Christopher his meds and hit the road, only to discover 90 minutes down the road (up through the mountains) that little Andrew gets motion sick as well. Is that the sound of dry heaving coming from the second row? *cue Xanax for mama*. One of these trips we’ll figure it out. The boys rode well, and enjoyed staying in a hotel. Roughly 36 hours later (with a dinner stop to see Jim & Jen in Dubuque) we landed at the farm at about 9pm Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Our time in Wisconsin was enjoyable. We saw lots of family, checked out the Sauk County Fair, played with cousin Clara, and threw tennis balls until border collie Mike was worn out. The tractors were still rather big\/noisy for the boys to want to go for rides, but they found the 4-wheeler ok, and the neighbor’s Gator acceptable. William and Christopher have decided they are NOT fans of humidity or bugs. William was outside with gnats buzzing in his ears and declared “Dad, I hate outside in Wisconsin!” The humidity was a good reminder of how nice we have it here in Utah sometimes.<\/p>\n
