Denver - Long Weekend Vacation

Becky and I took a trip to Denver to get away from it all. The city was great and the Rocky Mountains were breathtaking. Since Coors is brewed in Golden, CO, we stopped in for a tour. We hiked the Rocky Mountains, visited Red Rocks Amphitheater, took a scooter tour of Denver, and did our best to relax and enjoy our little vacation. We also managed to cross off two more restaurants featured on Triple D and they did not disappoint.

Red Rocks Amphitheater

First and easiest hike around Bear Lake in the Rocky Mountains

The end of our 2.5 mile Mountain hike was totally worth it.

Almost hiked to 10,000 ft above sea level...almost.

Coors tour here we come. This should be educational.

Max's 9th Birthday

Can you believe Max is 9!? One more year to double digits.
We celebrated his birthday three times! (sort of) once with his grandma Sewacki, once at cub scout camp (which was really just me bringing cupcakes to camp on his birthday) and once at a Brewers game with the rest of his family.

Cub Scout Camp - Max

This is Max's second year of cub scout camp and he is loving it. This year, Becky went with him instead of me. She had to experience camp at Rokilio, it's a ton of fun.

Bathroom Remodel

We are doing two bathroom remodels and couldn't be happier with the results of the first one.
Upstairs is first.
Downstairs bathroom in July.

Boy Scout Camp - Sam

Sam really enjoys Scout camp and this is his second year going.

Baseball - Max

Max played baseball this summer and is getting really good at it. He had a few amazing games at first base and when he puts his mind to it, can really crank the ball.

Pinewood Derby - Max

Max won a couple of awards at the Pinewood Derby this year.
He took third place in his den and won a trophy for "Best Not A Car"

Track & Field - Sam

Sam's first year participating in middle school Track & Field. Finally able to use all that speed.

Spring Break 2019

We took a road trip to Florida for a week to enjoy some warm weather and get away from the extended winter in Wisconsin.

We spent the first part of our stay in Orlando at Discovery Cove, SeaWorld and their waterpark Aquatica. Then we traveled East to the Atlantic Coast and visited the Kennedy Space Center and spent a day at the beach in Cocoa Beach.
