2 of 2 - the Midwest edition

The second of two posts about our trip to the Midwest continues in Milwaukee, where Sam's uncle Matt graduated on Sunday. On Monday, we headed down to Omaha for Sam to meet his Great Grandma Jeanne and the family of Dad's uncle Bob. On the last day of the trip, we spent some time on Chicago's Navy Pier before heading to O'Hare for the trip back home.

In all, Sam met his uncle Chris, 13 of Dad's cousins and many of Dad's aunts and uncles, in addition to those mentioned above. Busy busy for the boy but he ate it up, saving his sleep until we got back home.
