Last one - Turtle time

The Turtle loved the Door too. She insisted on trying to walk at all times no matter the terrain.

One more round from the Door

We've known for years that the Schuerr cousins love throwing rocks into all sorts of bodies of water. This trip was Elliot's first exposure to this form of recreation. He was nuts about it. His last session went on for over an hour with almost constant throwing.

The turtle like to travel by multiple conveyances. A I understand it, she wants us to buy a space ship for her for the next vacation.

More from the Door

Lolly pops and lilacs. It's a young boy's (and a dentist's) dream up there. Elliot had a little trouble sleeping Saturday night so Elliot and Dad got up for a sunrise hike in the cherry orchard behind the Gram's house.

Also, Natalie started learning to drive. They have very lax regulations on this in Wisconsin, we learned. And yes, she has been going to a tanning salon. It's never too early to start, we think.

Trip to the Door

We spent Memorial Day at Bill and Jean's house in Fish Creek, WI. We stopped at Alterra Coffee in Milwaukee on the way up for a break. 5 hours of driving is tough on two little monkeys.

Lincoln Park Zoo with Grandma

75 degrees and sunny. Saturday. Tigers. Grandma Bonnie. Not a bad day for the team.

Great exhibit at Garfield Park all summer. Nikki In the Garden. Will was so excited he jumped in the pond. Everybody else settle for playing in skull nostrils and eating lollipops.

Bavarian Boy

Elliot modeling a shirt from Gudrun, Axel and Connor Hahn. He wore it to Jensen Kingsley's first birthday party and proceeded to wipe delicious pink frosting all over the collar.
