Luci Goes to Wisconsin

For the 4th of July weekend, we took a trip to visit my family in Wisconsin. Luci is the first great-grandchild on my mother's side and the 8th great-grandchild on my father's side. We were anxious for them all to meet her.

As we expected, she was fabulous! We began our trip with a flight to Milwaukee Thursday afternoon and then a 2 hour drive to the little town of Highland, Wisconsin. My uncle from Atlanta also made the trip to meet his first great niece. Luci won their hearts! She is an amazing little traveler and adapts well to new situations as long as both her Daddy and I are there.

She met my 2 younger cousins and immediately fell in love with 9 year old Kaitlyn and her beautiful red hair. They were inseparable for the visit and Luci would break into smiles and giggles every time she saw Kaitlyn. She also slept marvelously after a 2 hour chase session with Kaitlyn. I threatened to pack her in our suitcase and bring her back to Arkansas!

Monday morning we left to head back to Milwaukee and fly home. Luci sure is going to miss all the attention. Daddy headed back to work today so it is just Luci and Mommy at home...very quiet compared to the last 4 days. I bet Grandma, Grandpa, and all the rest of the family are missing Luci too! She has a way of capturing the hearts of those she meets!

She loved to ride around in Grandpa's wheelchair. Uncle Clarence loved to push and make her laugh!

Our flight home was delayed so Grandpa and Grandma helped keep Luci occupied as we waited for the plane. Lots of walking...
