a visit from 'big alex'

our weekend so far has been packed full of fun ...

my brother and his girlfriend, michelle, came to visit for 2 days.

we started out with an afternoon at the zoo ...
(as you can see they fit in real well with the monkeys)



after that ...
we watched the twins show the brewers a few things about baseball.

(and we watched drew teach big alex a few things about making a bet.
next time, alex, if then you could please remember to use the i unbet bet symbol so you aren't out 5 bucks when your team loses!)

while at the game i learned that the boys actually enjoy going for the game now!
AND ... i learned that when trying to keep a 2 yr old busy at a baseball game there is nothing better than an all star ballot and a DS pen with instructions to 'punch out all of the holes'



this morning we spent time hanging out and playing ...

and then ended the weekend with a round of golf for the boys and shopping for the girls ...
(although ... somehow i ended up with no clothes for myself but 7 shirts for drew!
go figure!)

thanks for coming to visit uncle alex and michelle!
i think it's safe to say everyone had a good few days ...
and had a lot of fun!

well ... except ben ...
his day today might be questionable...
he got sick at the golf course ... and ended up spending his entire afternoon napping on the cart.

and, yes he is really sleeping like that.
