Here's some pics of the kids when I picked them up from the UWM Union today. Ignore Grace's grumpy face. She did it on purpose, and broke into a smile between my attempts. (OJ came home sick an hour earlier). Early reports are that they like most of their classes, which puts then one up on me most semesters.

Day 1 of College for Kids
Good Advice. A little lacking in tact, perhaps . . .
Junie: "You haven't been to the gym in a while Dad. And you've been eating a lot of salt and vinegar chips. You should go before you get real fat again."

College for Kids '16!
This morning we dropped all four kids at UWM for their annual weeks at College for Kids. (Only LK would tolerate photos this morning). From experience, I know this program helps eliminates the intimidation factor most college freshman experience - Grace texted that she knows the campus better than her instructor - and I strongly recommend it to you all. Plus, they have fun and actually learn stuff!

Fox Brook Lake
Friday, while I slept and LuLu hung out around the house (her choice), Lisa took the rest of Team Slap and YaYa's boyfriend to Fox Brook Lake for the day!
OJ - Made in America
Pt 2 - darker and more somber as it approaches events of 1994. An excellent documentary.
The Father Son Hike at Hawthron Glen
Smiley took me to Hawthorn Glen nature center for our annual Father's Day hike. We were once again joined by Tre and my Godson TJ, who presented me with a great Father's Day gift! Also keeping us company were Javier Gallegos Jr and Isaiah!
Among the many highlights: Smiley getting a mudweed tattoo from the hike leader; a (too) tame deer (PD shot the close ups); an ironwood thorn PD got to keep; hot dogs and smores; and great company!
New lifegoal: build my dream house, with four houses on the property, one for each of the kids, and a nature preserve on the lot. I'd have Smiley get a forestry degree and pay him to maintain the land. Heck, he already knew a lot of the info the guide told us!
A great tradition. Thanks son!

Babysitting LOL
When the girl you're babysitting is more interested in the little fossils engraved in the big rock at the park than with playing😂😁 - LuLu
