Long time, no blog! Well thats no problem, I'll make up for it with tons of pictures... :-) Last month my family and I went to Wisconsin for a week to go to my aunt Ambers wedding, and visit relatives. We got to take the train to Chicago for the day (Brandon, Austin and I), visit Madison, go to my Grandparents 50th Anniversary party, etc... I love going there because it's like a second home to me and its beautiful!! As you can imagine, Brandon looooved the cheese :-)

looks like a fun trip. i love the portland zoo because the animals are out, its green everywhere and it costs $2 but your free zoo - wins!
It's fun seeing places you have never been through the eyes of your immediate family (even the 2nd time). Thank-you for your post.
