The Shaw's New Digs

Beckett, Heather and Frank moved into their new house on Friday.  In addition to our old friend Mr. Mover, the grandparents helped with the move as well.  Macy and I had the weekend shift.  Here's some pics from the weekend.

Here's a view from street level



A little closer, house gets a new coat of stain this week




Back yard view...nice pen for a dog




Behind the boxes and the pregnent woman unpacking is the kitchen




Frank's early Father's Day gift was Corn Bag Toss.  Macy was pretty good, must be that Iowa corn savvy.




Nice play set in the back yard; which led to...




Since it was only 85 on Sunday, Heather decided a new coat of stain made sense.

  

Back down to visit next Sunday to celebrate B's birthday so we'll have some more pics of the new place next week as well.

Way behind in Blog posts, so have to start somewhere.  Two weeks ago we spent a weekend with Beckett while his parents did a getaway to Chicago.  Good time was had by all.  Highlight for the weekend was a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo.  Macy and I probably hadn't been there for 20 years, but no problem, Beckett is already a regular, and was quite sure of what he wanted us to see.



To start the weekend Beckett and Grandma made peanut butter balls.



It wasn't a tough sell to get Beckett involved.  They were great!

First up were the "big cats".

Who's viewing whom?

Hippos are Beckett's favorite.  One eventually took a swim.

We packed a lunch, here we're picking out a table.

We ended the visit with a trip on the train, got the steam engine, so both Beckett and Grandpa were very happy.

Yellow is Beckett's favorite color.  When we got back to our car in the parking lot this is what we found parked next to us.  Needless to say Beckett was overjoyed.
