Reminiscent of early days

Happy Father's Day

Read the paper, if the children will share.

Watch out for your nemesis, the bunny.

 Steal your pretzels back from the boy.

 

 Convince the children to forgive this awesome trail

And happy father's day, Joe.

Matthiesen State Park

Twins Koz in nature

Sunday picnic at the forest preserve

Tuna sandwiches made gourmet with a tablecloth and plein air setting. It was a beautiful day.

Wake up and enjoy nature, John.
