Door County-Day 3, part 1

We woke up to a gorgeous day on Saturday!  We headed out to Al Johnson's for breakfast.  I'm so glad it stopped raining because I was most excited to take my kids to see the goats on his roof!!  It is one of my most treasured memories as a kid...the anticipation of seeing goats on a roof, so totally AWESOME!  We oogled at the goats and then headed inside for a Swedish breakfast!  Usually the line for Al Johnson's is huge, but b/c of all the rain and cold weather we got in right before the crowds.  Yeah for us! 



Swedish pancake (same thing as a crepe)





At noon we got together with the entire family to celebrate my grandmother's 84th birthday.  My mom gave a little speech telling us some background family history.  Then my grandma Marge, her brother Nick & sister Cilla all started telling stories and different memories they all had from growing up during the depression as well as about their parents.  It was really special.
