Trip to Viroqua

We went to Viroqua this weekend to spend some time with family. We didn't know it but this weekend was the annual syttende mai festival. There was a parade, breakfast, craft booths, donkey rides and my favorite - cheese curds. I honestly have never had cheese curds like the ones from the local creamery. We hope to make this an annual trip because we enjoyed it so much.



Cooper has been obsessed with horses lately and we are very lucky that Di and Rog have 6 horses for us to play with. Grandma Donna was there the prior weekend and left a bag of treats for Cooper to feed the horses. He started out a little afraid to give them treats but by the end of the weekend he was a pro!

He was so excited to ride the horses that he wouldn't go to bed on Friday night and Saturday morning as soon as the sun came up he jumped up from his pack and play and said, "Mom! The sun is out, can we ride the horses now?" It was 7:00 am.. He got to ride Moon first

then Annie though Moon was definitely his favorite.

He also helped with chores while we were there. He was surprisingly good at peeling hard boiled eggs and loved helping Rog in the barn.

The best part of the weekend? We got to spend time with Rob's grandma. She really is an amazing lady! She is 90 and she loves to play with Cooper. They played cars, trucks, read books and shared a lot of laughs together.
