Last night was mom’s night off and my night with the kids. We went to John Hawk’s for dinner, walked across the river on the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge, and headed to the lake for a walk. I took the kids on one of my (renowned?) tours through downtown. We saw City Hall, the Marcus Center, Watt’s (where mom likes to go for tea) the Pfister (where we stayed on our wedding night) and headed east on Wisconsin Avenue towards the lake. I showed them The Calatrava (what locals call the new wing of the Milwaukee Art Museum) and Jackson saw the orange di Suvero sculpture that Milwaukeeans love to hate. “What’s that big ugly orange thing, dad?” I explained it was a sculpture. They should move it; it’s ugly!” “Jackson, everybody thinks it’s ugly.” The girls concurred with his opinion. Apparently even kids have common sense.
We had a great time at the lake, the kids found a playground. I don’t think we go down there often enough. Here’s a photo of the kids at the park; click to see the full photo.
