Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes that in his many years of observing human behavior the keeper identifies one of those special relationships between clan members that is a joy to witness: It is the one between grandmothers and granddaughters and it was on full display Sunday as Alexis celebrated her 28thbirthday by meeting her grandmother Phyllis and their respective entourages for a Dells celebratory lunch.

Phyllis took her two teenage granddaughters–Alexis and Taylor on camping tours of National parks that included fording a flooded river and befriending wild horses.

The keeper regrets not having been along, but he would have cluttered up that special grandmother–granddaughter thing and that would not have been good.

Happy birthday, Alexis!
