House full of McKinneys!

We were so happy to have Jere and Julie McKinney (or as I like to call them bumpa and mama julie) stay with us for a few days... and we tried to show them a good time. Unfortunately, papa forgot to give me the camera the first two days they were visiting, so we don't have any of when they first arrived... but trust little 'ol me when I say, good times were had. Here are some pics that I finally managed to take after harassing papa for the camera.Mama Julie taught me how to make her famous homemade pancakes! YUMMEEEEEEE!
Here are mama and mama Julie when we were on our way from Wilmette to Milwaukee to visit a really neat sailboat... well, I guess technically it's an art museum, but it sure does look like you could sail it away!
Papa and Bumpa chatting away....
See!!! It looks like a sailboat, doesn't it???
Then there was this cool structure... kinda reminded me of candy... (I was tempted to take a lick, but then I didn't want to be the only one... although I could tell from mama's expression she was thinking the same thing).


Apparently the day we arrived they were having a science fair of sorts with various high schools in the area participating... Bumpa couldn't resist and stood among the rest of the curious crowd. I could hardly see a thing, with being so short and all, so I spent my time racing around the museum and giving mama and papa a work out.


After the museum, we headed off to Madison!!!
