Livin' It Up with the Cox's

This last weekend the Cox's (Neil's sister, brother-in-law, and baby) were able to come and visit with us. Steve has a medical conference in Lake Geneva which is only 2 hours away, so they decided to come to visit us for the weekend before. We loved it! We stayed up way too late talking and playing games,and had tons of fun! They got in late Friday night and we stayed up chatting and getting updated on each family. On Saturday Neil and Steve went to play golf while Delee and I went to the barn sale and then walked down our main street and enjoyed some cute boutiques and stores. We met up for lunch at Cook's Room and then enjoyed dessert at the Quality Bakery next door. (Gotta love their donuts!) Then we let the boys nap while we also caught up on some rest. Then, we took them to go see the exciting Don Q Inn plane. (You will have to look at the pictures below to see what I am talking about) That night was Settlers time! And along with that we had some Culver's custard. That is definitely a must when you come to visit Wisconsin. Sunday was also fun, taking them to our branch and having them meet our friends and branch family. They drove to their hotel later Sunday night so that Steve could go to the conference. I got to meet Delee for more shopping today, so I was blessed to have a little bit more time with them!

It was fun to see the reactions that Jakob and Preston had when they first saw each other. They weren't quite sure what to think at first, but then got each other excited when they heard noises coming from each other.

Here are a few pictures of the two cuties and the infamous plane:

This wasn't the first time they saw each other, but play time on Sunday. They were both quite intrigued by this toy that would play music and pick-a-boo with them. 

Jakob is 6 months and can sit up, which Preston loved watching. He is super cute and smiles at everyone. 

 Aren't they so cute!

How fun is it that they are only 2 months apart?! 

And here is the Don Q Inn plane. It seems so random, I know. I guess this guy bought this old war plane and then decided to land it in Dodgeville and park it in front of his hotel. According to wikipedia it is: "...One of the most amazing landmarks of the Dodgeville Municipal airport is its only current resident Boeing C-97G. When the plane landed it barely fit on the small runway, creating a massive cloud of dust. The plane still sits in front of the Don Q inn, which is directs next to the airport." Weird, huh?! Only in Dodgeville. 

Here is the plane:

 And a view of the inside. It looks like he just bought it and moved it, no changing anything about it. 

 Here was a little bit about the story of how it got there. 

 Some really old gages that were in the front of the plane. They were really cool looking, and I think original.

So, all in all...it was so fun having them here for the weekend. We are super excited to get to see more family when we go home for Christmas.
