One more trip to the Renegade

This aft, we went back out to the neighborhood art/craft fair. More fun in the sun.

Last Day of Summer?

Hit the Ohio Street beach with the Mercs. Never been there before. Same with Olive Park. Both were awesome. 75 - 80 degrees and blue skies.

We took the Chicago Ave. bus both ways and met a lady with a broken foot as a bonus.

E.B. built another habitat and decreed that this beach is "as nice as Nicolet Bay." High praise.

Birthday Girl

Someday we gotta buy a brush.

More birthday

The Renegade Craft Fair was going on today too so we took the birthday girl on a tour of the Fair in full regalia along with her court.

Owie smashed Johnny merc and E.B a few times to keep them focused.

Nata Birthday 1

Third birthday party today. Princesses all over the place. Great guests: Bill and Dawn, Jenny, Johnny Merc, Zoe, Audrey, Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma Bonnie. Parents were there too but barely count.

Strawberry shortcake.

Full Extension

Mayfly.

More picking

Elliot tried to battle Grandpa Owie. The master finished off the apprentice and stuffed his undies full of straw requiring a de-pantsing at the picnic table. Then, some blue flavored ice cream to ease the damage to he pride.

Also, Viking apples were the best, hence the Viking horn fingers in the pic.

Apple Picking/Owie Birthday

Went to Apple Holler in Wisconsin to pick apples. They had games, rides, a buffet. It's quite the place. It is two exits north of Mars Cheese Castle and the Brat Stop if that means anything to you (and it should).

It's a bit early in the season so we had to be very selective with our apples. This required quite a bit of taste testing. Everybody got their pesticides for the year covered, I think.
