Reel Big Fish

 We took Jack to the Discovery World in Milwaukee on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
 Awesome relief map of the Great Lakes!

 Oooooh.  Beautiful jellyfish.

 Up Periscope!
 Touching a ray.

Thanksgiving Adventures

 For our annual Thanksgiving Day drive, Jack said he wanted to go to a lake.
 So we went to Goodland Park, and played on the docks.  Great fun!





My son, the nut


 Jack takes on the new task of cracking nuts at Thanksgiving!

Salt Kettle Rest Area

 Sometimes we find the best stops, even on the interstate.
 This one is off I-74 West in Danville, Illinois.




 So purty...




iBaby

 Jack's first listen to an iPod.


Of course, the cat ate the earphones later that day, so his second listen awaits a trip to the store for replacements.....

Sleigh Parking


Santa parked one of his little runabout sleighs at the Domes.  We're pretty sure he'll pick up on his way out of town on Christmas.








(On a side note, a whole dome full of poinsettia kind of reeks.) 

Major Domo


 Our recent expedition to the Mitchell Domes, what a great place!
