4th of July/ Great-Grandparent's: Day 2

The next day was Sunday.
Andybaby was sick.
Chris and I both had to teach.
I was the only one in town from the YW Presidency, so Chris won that coin toss and took Andy home after sacrament meeting.

Naps.
Lunch.
A.bear's spirits are up and fever is down.
We decide to do our Sunday usual and walk down to the rock beach.

The best parts:

The place was crawling with photographers. I am assuming this is because it was overcast-y, but as I know nothing about photography, that is a complete guess.

We only ever come here with family.
And though the boys have only seen the Greats a handful of times, the whole day just felt like "family". (yes, family is a feeling too).



Nate and Grandpa Rich searched for treasure (pieces of drift wood he thought were bones, etc.)
Grandpa Rich scored big points when he conjured up a CVS bag treasure chest to hold everything.

Grandma Dolly and I tried to skip rocks.
After practicing the tips I learned from Steve I was able to skip one 6 times.
Victory!
Another good day.

April Round-Up






Day trip: Headed to Chicago.
Spent the day at the Field Museum
(free admission with our Milwaukee Public Museum pass. Bonus!)
I'd like to say I did it because I am a really good mom.

Actually,

I bought a sofa table on Craig's List in Chicago.
I threw in the museum as an excuse
( so I didn't feel so lame hauling my kids out of state bargain hunting.)

We had a great time.
Love these little buddies.





The beach:
Down the street!
We have had a number of days warm enough to go to the lake.
And I fell in love with Whitefish Bay all over again.





This is Nate's go to pose right now.
I wonder where he gets it from......
