Our trip to Kohler

We are back from our trip to Kohler.

Our little trip has provided me with a few firsts:
•My first aborted landing (at nearly the last second-no reason given) followed by a panoramic circle around Chicago before a hard touchdown.
•My first Bratfest. Tried the brat egg rolls. Surprisingly OK.
•My first Chicago dog. Not impressed- just a dog with a really tough casing.
•My first significant flight delay (four+ hours). Counted our blessings and crossed our fingers- many other flights were canceled. We did finally get on a plane that evening and made it home in time to grab a bite to eat before the restaurants closed.

We had a nice visit with LLL, JC, J, A and M. Lots of fun with the boys, plenty of time to chat with LLL, pretty good weather whenever we wanted to do something. We upgraded more of the electrical in theouse, pulled a lot of weeds, pruned a lot of shrubs, and went to the beach, to parks, for walks and also visited two farmer’s markets and watched the Bratfest parade go past one of the markets. Our favorite group in the parade was the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies. So cute and you could tell they had all practiced more than any other group in the parade. I just found out they have a website. Google them and you can see a picture.

Blessing day was a nice day. M was quiet through the whole thing. He is definitely the third child-we had all changed our clothes, had dinner and started naps before it occurred to me that none of us had taken any blessing day pictures of everyone in their Sunday clothes with the baby. I grabbed a couple of shots of the big-tiny once he was awake again.
