The view from the entrance of the Field Museum.

It was a beautiful and fun day.

Summer fun

We are enjoying very much the pool that was given to us.
The boys created a road block and it stopped the UPS man from
completing the circle drive and they have a tent up to sleep outside
tonight.

Jumping with cousins

I caught the 1st fish. Bo caught 3. Daddy caught a fish and a soda can

at the same time. Tristen went hungry that night.

Milwaukee Zoo trip

We took an unfamiliar road trip to the Milwaukee Zoo
to celebrate Father's Day

We toured their special dinosaur exhibit.

This was especially neat.

Shedd creatures continued.....

Spider Crab

neat decorations

Stingray

In the "Fantasea" show we had great seats! Out of nowhere

this boat was lowered from right above my head and the people

climbed in to be lifted back up and across the water.

The creatures of Shedd

May 15th Shedd Aquarium visit

There was a 2 hour wait in line but we ate lunch in line and the kids
behaved well so time went by fairly quick.

We are waitng for the "Fantasea" show to start.

Tristen (green shirt), Bo (orange shirt) and 2nd cousin, Grace!

We had a great time!!

Bo and Tristen put on Penguin costumes and played with their

cousin in the Polar Play area.

On our way going to Mundelien we saw these so had to stop and

check them out on the way home.

Our garden and 1st harvest

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st time in

All done

I missed the best shot of Fred just jumping in from the

outside, like a cowboy jumping over a gate.

In Fred's own words, the water is ICE COLD.

We look forward to the sun warming it up.

Just add water!!!

Thank you Brian, Katie, Gracie, Jacob and Emily!
