Schaumburg

A recent family visit to Chicago (Baby girl cousin on the way in August!) brought us to Schaumburg, IL. Volkening Heritage Farm.

Where we enjoyed a nice sunny (finally!) day outside.

We needed this.

Up the silo. 

Dad at least.

And one of your Dad's favorite past-times.

Peering from the bridge.

Looking for critters.

There's one - on the fence!

Cockle doodle doo!

It was almost not too long of a walk. Almost. Zoe was ready to be done before the rest of us, but I think that had a lot to do with the bee she saw about 5 minutes after I took this picture.

Bugs and Zoe, no match.

Entomology in her future? Probably not. Although if they are dead....maybe there's a chance.

OR etymology, with her love of books.

Hmmm. that teacher who tied those two words together a good 30 years ago (which one is bugs and which one is words?) made it stick with me. Wait. 30 years? Yes, probably.

Oy.
