A Visit from Uncle David

A few days before Turkey Day....we got a call from David. He wanted to come for a little visit in December. So of course.....he booked his tickets and was on his way! Ascher always loves having new people come and entertain him.....so it was nice for everyone!!

And what's a visit from Uncle David without a trip to Toys R Us!(that place was a zoo 4 days before Christmas! I can't believe people wait soooo long to go shopping!). So Ascher picked out a really cool Trio Crane set. Of course, he wanted to go home RIGHT away and play with it. Unfortunately, we had just started shopping, so he had to wait. But I think it paid off! They had fun putting it together and learning how to tear things down!


As you know.....we love the zoo. So I was uber excited that David wanted to go! So we bundled up really good and hit the road north. On the way there, we had to take a little detour to the Jelly Belly Factory. I don't know where David had more fun, Jelly Belly or Milwaukee Zoo. Once we made it to the Zoo, all the animals that are cold weather animals were out. Except the Polar Bear! Not happy about that :( But it was really cool to see the camels covered in snow, the tiger sitting beautifully in front of the window, and the red panda! We even caught a glimpse of the wolves.....but from far away. Not bad for going there 5 times and never seeing them!


David of course also wanted to hit the city. So we bundled up again, and dragging Immer with us. Had lunch at a small little restaurant, Portillos. Maybe you've heard of it. Try it some time, really good. It was really nasty weather, and we had Ascher bundled in the stroller with a blanket. Lucky Duck! It was really fun to walk in the crowds....but again, who waits that late to shop!



And here is Immer in front of one of the many statues in the city. Told you he was short.
