Trip To WI!!!

Layla and I left for WI on Wed., July 6th. We drove back, just Mommy and Layla!! We had a great drive! Layla was wonderful the entire ride...I am so lucky she LOVES riding in the Tahoe:-) Oh course she got a special treat...watching her favorite show...Elmo's World!! We stopped a few times and still got to WI in 8 hours! We had such a blast visiting family and friends! I have so many pictures...I can't wait to share them all!!!

We arrived in WI in the late afternoon and that evening Layla's cousin Nicholas had a baseball game...GO HEAT!!! They won the game! We were so lucky to see a few of Nicholas' games while visiting. He is an awesome baseball player, it was so fun to watch him play!! While watching the games Layla enjoyed the many parks we visited;-) She is becoming quite the park expert! She goes down the slide all by herself. She sits at the top and then off she goes!

Up to bat;-)

We went to Auntie Jenny and Uncle Mark's for dinner. Layla loved running in their yard...its so nice and big!! We had a great time:-)
