Our second week of vacation began in Wisconsin just in time for the 4th! We were able to take Jackson to his first Rhythm and Booms in Madison. It was an incredibly hot day, but we loaded up the car and met my friends Julie, Tyler, Patty, Britton, and their families at the park. We were nervous about how Jackson would take the loud booms because he started crying every hour when they set one off. Turns out by the end of the day he was used to all the noise! He had a great time playing with Julie and Tyler's daughter Ada, and even enjoyed some Culver's. Mmmm you have to get that while you can! (Vegas definitely needs one of these!) He loved the fireworks and the planes that did a fly over. He even fell asleep half way through!
While we were still in Lodi, we made a trip to Noah's Ark. Jackson was so happy to be in the water, and even got to spend some time in the wave pool and lazy river. The highlight was going down his first waterslide with Daddy. He really liked it until they got to the pool at the bottom. That was probably a little surprising! For the 4th we made our way to Germantown to see Bret's parents. Jackson met so many more new people and was his usual charming self for the most part! He loved the baby pool that Grandma and Grandpa got him, and probably could have spent the whole day in there if it wasn't so hot and humid!
While still in Germantown, we took Jackson to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. We weren't sure at first if he was really old enough to do anything, but he had a blast! He spent the entire time in Pocket Park crawling through logs, playing with blocks, riding a duck, drumming, picking apples, and playing the the water. He had so much fun and was exhausted! I can't wait to take him to fun places like that out here!
At the end of the week Bret flew home to go to work :( and Jackson and I got ready for week 3...Brokish Family Reunion!
