Uncle Matt comes to town!!

Yay! Uncle Matt came to town to meet his new nephew and see where we live (before we leave)!
Alex was, charmed!
Sebastien was, his usual self!
Brett was, still recovering from his "night out on the town" three days later!







Altogether Uncle Matt was here for a weekend (he's doing other travelling before heading back to the UK) so we packed in the University of Illinois' Vet Med Open House on Saturday (yes, we saw the fistulated cow).










Uncle Matt gets adventurous having failed to convince Alex to check out the cow's stomach (hey, she had the glove on!)












Then it was off to soccer on Sunday












...oh and Brett showed Matt the sights and sounds of campus bars on Saturday night...reminding himself in the process why it is he doesn't usually venture onto campus for the barlife!

Uncle Matt even cooked us a roast dinner on his last night - mmmm! Plus he scored brownie points for saving his gift giving (thanks Aunty Karen too) until the second evening he was here. Nessie is a hit! And he says he may come see us in China...
