Kohler Classic 5k

My first 5k and my first race since High School (ok I was on the Cross Country team my Freshman and Sophomore years at UW Sheboygan too). My goal was to finish the race in under 30 minutes. I finished with a time of 24 min. 39 sec. Smashing any thought of finishing over 30 minutes. I was not that far off of the 3rd place finisher in my age group, so now I have something to work for next year, if I can shave off 1 minute from my time, I'll get a medal next year. Some pictures and links to the results and official listings on the internet.

William's Birthday at the New Zoo

Sam's cousin William had his birthday party at the New Zoo in Green Bay this year. We all had a great time checking out the animals and watching them open their presents.

A good trip always ends with a nap.

Vist to the Firehouse

Sam and I recently took a tour of the Howards Grove Fire Department. They had all of the trucks open for the kids and dads to explore, they had real equipment to try on and some kids costumes too. They even had the opportunity to spray water from a real fire hose. Against the fireman's words, a few kids pulled the big horns on the firetrucks, it was really loud.

I'm a Fireman too!

Shooting the water.

Driving the truck.

That was a loud horn.

This was too hilarious to pass up. We had gotten back from a restaurant and Sam decided that he wanted to finish his burger...on the kitchen floor. I simply gave him a suggestion on how he might want to sit on the floor.

If you can't remember or make the connection to why this is funny...see below.
