We arrived to Wisconsin last Thursday night. We were delayed in LAX for 3 hours due to bad weather coming in from the Midwest and ended up catching a flight directly to Milwaukee instead of stopping at Kansas first. That worked out since Nathan was able to run around the airport instead of being stuck in an airplane. He did fairly well on the plane for the first leg (~4 hrs long)- he fell asleep for the first couple of hours, had some dinner when he woke up, and watched a little Ratatouille.
The last leg of the trip was another story. He did well once we boarded, but we were delayed for 30-40 minutes due to waiting for delayed passengers and an emergency on an incoming flight. Nathan is patient, but not that patient. He cried almost the whole flight (40 very long minutes). Poor little guy was really tired and wanted out of his car seat. When I was finally able to turn on the DVD player, I almost immediately had to turn it off since the flight wasn’t that long. He didn’t like that and let everyone on the plane know it. We finally arrived to Central Wisconsin at 11 pm (CST).
Since arriving, we’ve experienced -20 degree weather, seen lots of wild turkey on the back porch, saw some deer in the woods, played with newborn kittens, visited with lots of family, and have gone for many walks in the snow. Nathan didn’t know what to think about the cold and the snow at first. But, he gradually “warmed” up to it. He stands in front of Grandma and Grandpa’s windows and looks out, wanting to go for a walk. He really likes the outside despite the cold! We tried to take him sledding, but as you can see he’s wasn’t too sure about it.
Well, we have another week here and more adventures to look forward to. Please continue to think warm thoughts for us!
