Fun Milwaukee Weekend!

We were just in Milwaukee about a month ago for a couple weekdays while Alec worked there. We had a fun, quick trip.  Stayed with friends (Dan and Melanie) and got to see a few other people as well. 

We didn't get to see our friends Brad and Jesie though; so decided to come back and make a long weekend of it! We stayed with them and had so much fun hanging out just like old times. 

Other friends in the area (Shane and Jody) had a baby recently and we got to go to their house and see their new daughter. It's been a while since I held a newborn and I forgot how tiny they are! They have a 2yr old daughter as well, and she is adjusting great. They actually have one of the craziest birth stories ever with their new baby; she was born in the car on the way to the hospital!!! It was fun hearing the story in person and we actually got to listen to the 911 call they made! 

We did a lot of fun things this weekend:

 - Jessie and I went shopping; one outing with our kids and another outing just the two of us. I am sure you can guess which outing was more fun.....  Shopping with toddlers is not exactly advised. 

- Alec and Brad installed child locks on their cupboards and then went on a distillerary tour. 

- They taught us a new game, Hanabi, which was really fun and we can't wait to play it at home! 

- We got a babysitter Saturday night for the two kids and we went out for dinner followed by Yo Mama, our favorite frozen yogurt shop. 



Bennett (10mon old) and Brie had a fun time together.  They are a little young to play together but definitely entertained each other, and we had fun making them interact! 





And this is what parents of young children do at night, especially when these young children both woke up at 5:30am.....


We had such a great weekend, thanks Brad and Jessie for hosting us!!!
