Arty Party!

 Jack assembles his space shuttle plane (with some help from Dad).

Bookworm Garden!

 Our trip to Sheboygan included a stop at the Bookworm Garden, a super fun garden with little displays based on an interpretation of a children's book.  We had a great time, even when...

 Jack fell into this koi pond, about a minute after this picture was taken.  Dad jumped in and scooped him up, no harm-  just lots of wet.  So new t-shorts from the gift shop, and a custard stop on the way home and all is well...

 Make Way for Ducklings!

 The Giving Tree

 All aboard the Magic School Bus!

 A visit with Pooh!

 Who's been sitting in may chair?

 There's music to make too!

Calling your bluff

Our picnic view in Sheboygan, overlooking Lake Michigan.

On the beach

 Jack's first trip to the beach occurred when we happened upon this beach in Sheboygan on a foggy summer morning.

 We hadn't arroved prepared for a beach romp, but made it a great time anyway...

Meet me at the PX

 Another random stop we found on our way home from the Seven Mile Fair in Caledonia...

 We found this great VFW post that hosts various military equipment in the yard, and is decorated like a  MASH unit...  the kind of stop Thom's dad would have loved...

Sweet like Sugar

 Prepping for the first family ride on the Sugar River Trail in New Glarus.

 Water break!

 Throwing pebbles in the creek = great fun!
