More Block Party

Elliot drew a cool desert scene in the sidewalk chalk contest. He also attended the honky tonk band concert. Nata ate several hot dogs and slept for an hour in a metal chair.

Big day.

Block Party!

Sunday was our block party as well. Lots of great folks came by.

Wicker Park Fest

Julie had her fest this weekend. It was a big success.

Three Layer Cake

Bananas Foster Chocolate Fudge.

Overnight at Bonnie's

The kids spent Friday night with Bonnie and the Bean.

Elliot got dressed up as a Viking warrior (no smiles - this is very serious).

Nata, shockingly, was a princess. Big fun was had by all though nobody slept much (again).

After, we went out for Thai food on Central Street.

Door for the 4th

We headed back north over the 4th. The Schuerr minivan + the Gram house = smooth sailing.

Highlights included: Grandma Bonnie. Dawn and the big boys' cool fighting game. Swimming in Lake Michigan (clearer and colder than Nicolet Bay), yummy sausages from Andy's Deli Mikolajczyk Sausage Shop and Nottoli. A big hike down to Fish Creek in which we caught a water bug in a minnow net and found a secret fort. Kayaking. Riding a double bike for the first time with Mom. Not Licked Yet Custard. Guitar music around a fire.
