A Trip to the Land of Cheese and Sausage

One of my goals when we make a long trip back to Barrington, is to to make sure that we get a day trip in to see Oma and Opa at their house in Milwaukee. They are so good at making the drive down to Mom and Dad's to see us, but there is nothing like getting to entertain at your own home:) And let's get serious Jack would walk I think for an Oma lunch of cheese and sausage! Jack knows Oma and Opa and LOVES them. Jack and Opa are little soul mates, with an 80+ year age gap. Thankful that they took such good care of themselves so they can keep up with my little ball of energy. Uncle Mike even joined us for lunch. Lately, I am missing lake weekends. Love the beach and all. But I am a total Lake girl thanks to Aunt Deb & Uncle Mike. If I was in Chicago still I think I would be taking Jack up there for a week at a time! Let's just pray that scenario will be in the cards someday. After lunch we played in the sprinkler and then took a little trip over to Scout Lake to feed the ducks. Growing up this was one of my favorite field trips while visiting Oma and Opa, but I had a reputation to eat the stale bread before it even got to the ducks. Anyways, Jack was just as in love with feeding the ducks as I would have imagined. My heart hurts a little bit thinking about how I can't make those Milwaukee trips every week...but God has a plan...and it makes me appreciate each minute that much more!

Back in Btown and falling asleep to old school Batman.
