A Milwaukee Vacation

Milwaukee, you might say, doesn't really have a lot of great touristy attractions. . . . I mean it does have beer and cheese and jelly bellies if those are your thing. They aren't really mine.  Well, cheese is, but I can get really great cheese right here in Utah (or even the Tillamook Cheese factory is closer than Wisconsin)

However, one thing that Milwaukee does have. . . . 2 cute little girls and one precious baby that I would like to take home with me. 

Not to mention that I am pretty sure that the little guy (Bodee) would go home with me, if he could talk.  He would definitely say "Amber, PLEASE take me home with you to live with you forever"  But since he can't talk, you will all just have to believe me. 

And really, if the only thing in Milwaukee is Myleigh, Phebe, Bodee and Shawn and Byrd it was worth it to spend time there.

We roasted marshmallows, sang from the Tangled sound track at the top of our lungs, listened to the primary program (where Myleigh apparently lost her singing abilities momentarily, but still looked cute standing up front waving.  I guess singing tangled for two days straight just wore her vocal cords right out), carved pumpkins,went to the park, talked crafting (shawn has a mean crafting streak that you would never even have known about had I not revealed it on this blog), went running, read stories, went to the zoo and out to lunch and then sadly went home. 

It was the best birthday present I could have ever given to myself. 

However, next time that little Bodee better watch out because I am "borrowing" him for sure.
