Cheese Burger
Grayson had been asking to go back up to Chicago on the train for a while. Also, on the list, he had asked to go to the world famous Au Cheval. A cheeseburger restaurant that I have telling stories about since he was a little kid. Many times, heading up to Chicago for Lollapalooza, Au…

Hops – Gotcha Day
Had you told me the Shoo Family would be a Pit and Staffordshire bull terrier home within a year, I would have told you to kick rocks. After the ‘boys’ passed within a week of each other, we, the family, were mentally drained. I told Sarah that we needed to wait, and by wait I…

Shades State Park
Doesn’t blog in two years then posts twice in a row. With the weather being unseasonably nice for a couple days this week, we thought we’d do an even longer hike since we had a great time at Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary yesterday. After having failed at many family hikes: too long, not enough fluids, no…

Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary
Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary is just a 10 minute drive from the house. We’ve taken the dogs out several times. Each time they love exploring, smelling, and thinking that they can catch up to wild life. Winnie especially loves darting in and out of the grass. We’ve always explored the south side of the sanctuary which…
