The End of a Perfect Vacation

I wanted to show you the last of the Wisconsin trip pictures! These were all from last Friday, which was my last day at Jenna's house.


While Jenna got ready, I dressed the lovely Miss Adelaide. I got her all put together...bow and all!

That morning we set out (driving my car as a test for more overheating) with a destination of Edwards Apple Orchard. It is, I'm told, THE orchard of that area. I was impressed.

Aren't we pretty cute?

I was told the famous Edwards Orchard apple cider donut would revolutionize my donut world. I have to admit - it was pretty fantastic.

It was a little chilly that morning, so Jenna bundled up Adelaide in the little carrier thingie. I'm sure it has a real name but I don't know it. So on Bekah's Bits, it shall henceforth be called "the little carrier thingie."

We ate our apple cider donuts in this cute area - and sat on these cans. Loved it. I love character furniture.

Adelaide practicing her sneaky look. She's pretty good at it!

After we ate our donuts (and of course, drank our coffee, hello!!) we went through the store, which had tons of little samples (yes please!) and then outside to do pictures. Convenient sign...but alas, Adelaide was not interested. Maybe when she's 15 weeks old, she'll master the art of looking at the camera? Is that asking too much? :)

She makes some fun faces for sure! This is Adelaide in the pumpkin patch. She hasn't really mastered sitting up either, but she's definitely got cuteness DOWN!

Sandee (at my work) calls me a turkey sometimes. Turns out it's true!

I thought, after the chickens and cows and such...this seemed appropriate. (Please make a note of the coffee.)

This was fun. When I looked at the pictures later, I decided the wife is either uncomfortably pregnant or has a really badly placed itch.

How you doin' down there, Mom?

Why stop at one tractor when you can drive two?

Look who's almost 2 feet tall!

Adelaide has already started some great habits with her Dad...such as...watching Star Trek.

Frog and Jenna introduced me to Beefaroo. It's a very fun restaurant near their house. I had chicken - and then realized when eating at Beefaroo, one should eat beef. So perhaps I really ate at Chickenaroo.

That afternoon I stayed for a bit to help them get ready for their housewarming party later that weekend. I dusted and swept - and oh, the sweeper! It was FABULOUS. I really did want to steal it. I didn't steal it, you understand. But I wanted to.

Jenna has mad crafting skills. Much much better than much of what I could ever hope to do. Case in point. She painted these letters for Adelaide's room. BY HAND. THE PLAID. Are you kidding me? I was amazed.

Frog has some hidden talents too - like making some pretty fabulous guacamole!!

I didn't want to leave. AT ALL. I wanted to stay and play with Adelaide and craft with Jenna and eat guacamole. But alas...I had to leave.

At least it was a pretty drive home.

My thoughts on the end of a vacation.

No more vacations in 2010. :( But stay tuned. Or "tooned," as I first typed. I'm sure 2011 will have all new adventures!
