We just got back from our trip! It was a perfect 4th of July away. We saw a lot of friends and of course family. Amelia was so cute and warmed up to Juan's family right away. She was giggling and playing with Grandma Rose in no time. I was so happy, it's always nerve-wracking thinking she may not adjust as well as I want her to.
We arrived late Friday. Amelia was so good on the plane, slept 2 1/2 hours on our long flight. There's her favorite face to make, she just loves the camera. At least Juan looks happy and good.
Saturday we spent the day with Juan's family. Chilled around the house, and then visited our regular Kopp's for burgers and custard.
Antonio got Amelia the cutest little car. It didn't have a battery, and Amelia couldn't reach the pedal, so Juan got a work out pushing her around. As you can see, she LOVED it.
We went to the park and check out this comfy swing I found.
We took Amelia swimming for the first time this summer and she was so cute. Juan and I both got brave enough to throw her up out of the water and she would put her hand over her mouth every time because she was so scared, but then she'd come down grinning and squealing. We had so much fun.
Hanging out on the lawn.
We saw our friends Patrick and Keegan for breakfast on the 4th. They have the cutest little boys and we had so much fun catching up.
And of course we saw my friend Julaine a few times. It is nice to always have Juan's family in Wisconsin so that I can go back and catch up with my old friends too.
On Monday evening, David took us to Grant Park. We took a beautiful hike out to see Lake Michigan. The weather was cool and breezy the whole time we were there really, perfect. Amelia loved the sand and was a little nervous about the water and the smelly fish.
We also visited Juan's Dad's grave on the 4th, which also happened to be his birthday. It was very special to be there and to tell Amelia about her Grandpa.
The trip was full of good memories. Here is Amelia saying good bye to Grandma. They were just the best of buds by the end.

Looks like you guys had fun! I can't believe she slept that long on the plane! And I'm so glad she warmed up. I always worry about that too. Her faces in the pictures by the lake are my favorite. You can tell she's quite nervous and unsure. Thats also neat you go to go to juan's dad's grave. I bet that was a very tender moment. Glad you got a fun vacation!
I can't believe she slept that long on the plane! That is amazing! I'm glad you had such a fun trip.
