We've been thoroughly enjoying ourselves and the company of family whenever we can. It's fantastic, if downright exhausting at times! Recently we spent a few days up in Wisconsin visiting the extended family. We got to see Nanny Paula play her Irish music at 52 Stafford and Auntie Devin sing and dance in her Broadway review. Logan and Jason went with the Sippels to Bay Beach, a mini-amusement park in Green Bay. We caught some rays at the New Holstein Aquatic Center. We also took in a fish fry at Villa Loretta where Jason's grandmother lives, and got to see all the animals on the farm! Logan got properly spoiled by his Grandpas and ate his weight in ice cream all in one night. And now that he's participating more at the dinner (and lunch and breakfast and snack) table, Logan has hit a growth spurt and is putting on some weight. (All muscle. He's ridiculously strong!) Must be all those cheese curds he's been eating!
This past weekend was a whirlwind of activity. On Saturday we enjoyed a new hangout (well "new" to us) at Montrose beach in Chicago. While we do have our little beach on our block, this one is much more user friendly with wide expanses of flat, fine, packed sand with no rocks to hurt your feet. The water is not exactly warm enough for swimming by my standards (about 74 degrees) but it was refreshing once you got used to it, considering the very hot days we've been having. Sunday Logan and I went with our new friends Anika and Jodie to the farmers market and Glenwood Arts Fair which was really fun and a lot bigger than we expected. Unfortunately we are sad to announce that Ducky didn't make it home from the fair. We realized he had flown the coop when taking Logan out of the stroller and putting him in the car seat. And despite re-tracing our steps he was no-where to be found. Which is strange, considering that when I posted about it on Facebook, two different people claimed to have spotted lost Ducky lying sadly on the sidewalk all alone. *sniff sniff* Thankfully we had been training Second Ducky for this very day, and after mourning in hiding under the futon for some time, we found him when it was time to put Logan to bed and he has performed his duties solo with great stoicism and valor. After the Arts Fair, we picked up Jason at work and drove up to Milwaukee to see Nanny perform at Irish Fest. Please enjoy the pics below. Believe it or not, a birthday album will be just around the corner!
