Audrey visit

Audrey is cool. She has a big bike with training wheels. She and Elliot like doing puppet shows too.

More Door

The Gram kids were super with the wee ones. Dawn and Natalie were joined at the hip. The big boys played with Elliot and set off cool fireworks. We even saw a phone booth in Bailey's Harbor.

Natalie insisted on dressing herself for one of our after dinner strolls in the orchard. Thus we get her wearing

1) Elliot's spiderman pajama pants
2) Her rain coat with hood up
3) Her sun hat

The Door for the 4th

Huge trip. Lots of action. Matthew, Jamie and Dawn Gram plus their buddy Vill and parentals were all up in Fish Creek with us. Big kids are the coolest.

We spent a lot of time in Nicolet Bay. Natalie liked walking in the water and floating on a small boat. E.B. was obsessed with finding sea animal. We found lots of clam shells and possible mussels. Some snail shells too. We did a bit of hiking in Peninsula State Park too.

The cherry orchard behind Bill and Jean's house is having an awful year for cherries but Elliot discovered that chamomile is doing GREAT. He made many cups of homemade tea that he was far more interested in than the rest of us.

We went to Bailey's Harbor for their 4th of July Parade. The candy was a big hit with Elliot.

Of course, we hit the inflatable pool in theyard.

Zoe's Birthday

It was Zoe's 4th birthday Saturday at Pied Piper. The kids made cookies and hot pockets. Also, cupcakes. Clearly, it was a big hit.
