I defended my PhD last week!


Walter came to see:

First Camping Trip

Last weekend Walter went on his first camping trip. We went to Nerstrand Big Woods State Park.

Walk to a waterfall

Canoe

Getting ready to be a sailor, but not really liking the pfd.

Taking a good nap on the water.

Stacked up turtles.

Awake and enjoying the ride.

Mayday!

One of the great Minneapolis events is the Mayday Parade put on by the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater. Walter was thinking about wearing his pea pod outfit, but it was a little warm.

Lots to look at.

Gold Ring

Walter is lucky to have gifts from around the world. This is an outfit sent from his grandfather's colleague, Heman, and his family in Pakistan.

Along with the outfit was a gold ring. I believe it is traditional for grandparents to give a newborn a gold ring in Pakistan.

Working in the lab

Getting ready to read during a car ride.

Taking a nap while helping out his dad in the lab.

Time to close the booster isolate.

Walter's Book

Walter enjoys spending time looking at his amazing book handmade by his granparents' good friend, Ger, in the Netherlands.
