Day trip to Milwaukee

We have the best friends ever in the whole wide world. It just so happens that one set of friends from that label lives in Milwaukee. We call them JG, DG, and EG. It's always refreshing to visit them and this time was no different than the rest. DG is an awesome cook. She always feeds us well and makes me jealous of my lame cooking skills. JG is funny, entertaining, and easy to chillax with (EG made that word up one visit long ago). EG is too cute and good with Ada. He's learning how to deal with another little person in the house, but he's got the role of "protective old brother" down pat. He cleaned up all the choking hazard toys and made sure to keep her away from the lego people. He even put the spongy baseball in the hood of her sweater to annoy her -- but it didn't phase her as she's not easily annoyed these days. But he's got the right idea. And he protected her by redirecting her whenever she was heading toward the street while we were at the park. Giving Rick and I a break from chasing her. It was so nice to have a little baby patrol man around.

Here's Ada and EG in the park...acting silly...

And Ada did some gardening in the back yard... so nice to have a yard to play in... even though it was only 60 degrees, Eli had his whale pool open for business...

And Ada tried to eat rocks and dirt. That's what babies do right? Oh, and sunglasses as seen here with remnants of dirt on her face. Nice.

What a beautiful way to spend a sunny Sunday. They are so good to us, we might just have to go back more often...
