Uncle Dave braved a 6 hour trip from his new home in St. Louis to come to Des Moines for a visit. The boys were surprised to see him when he came with Joe to pick them up from day care and gave him big hugs. They were delighted to be treated to a day off from school to go to the science museum with Uncle Dave, who is a former Mr. Science of his high school class (true story--his high school does bestow that title!) They made rockets and saw snakes and did lots of fun guy things. Sissy warmed up to Uncle Dave as well and enjoyed some books with him. Uncle Dave started his ER residency in June and has had lots of exposure to kids in that capacity from delivering babies to treating kids in the ER. This experience serves him well at our house, because even the boys' crazy antics don't scare him off.
