Saturday

Hello! Sorry, yesterday was very busy with the discharge and Paige and Buggy coming to town.

They landed a little early but we got them picked up and back to the RMcD house. We hung around and Avery showed Paige around the house. We made an outing to the State Capitol building. We thought everyone could learn a little. After driving around trying to find a close parking spot so Avery wouldn't walk in the cold. All the close spots were only one hour parking and our tour of the Capital would take longer than one hour. Greg ultimately dropped us off close to the capital and then he parked the car. Buggy, Paige, Avery and I waited about 5 minutes for Greg and about 2 minutes after Greg got there, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacaute! So, we got to see the rotunda of the Wisconsin State Capital Building.

After that excursion, we took Buggy and Paige to the hospital to show them where Avery stayed. We saw Meagan the Child Life Specialist and Avery gave her a big hug. Paige and Buggy saw the floor where Avery stayed but no rooms b/c all the rooms were full! Paige also got to see the Gift shop.

We went out to dinner at the Great Dane Brewery and I don't even remember the last time the girls got along like they did yesterday!
Today we chilled in the morning and the girls played in the playroom and art room. Eventually we all got ready and went to the Vilas Zoo. It's a free Zoo here in Madison. It's smaller than the Denver zoo but quite nice. We saw a polar bear, grizzley bear, a buffalo and a badger. They had several indoor exhibits which I guess you must need if you're in Wisconsin!!! Lots of people asked Avery today what she had on her face and this made her very uncomfortable and sad. :( Overall, we had fun though!

We are going out to dinner with my uncle who came into Madison from Jackson, WI which is outside of Milwaukee.  Avery LOVES Uncle Rob!!
