Max's 4th Birthday Party

Max wanted to have a beach birthday party, so we invited our family and friends to Fireman's Park in Elkhart Lake for a day at the beach. We felt very lucky that the weather cooperated through the entire morning. We didn't get any rain until almost dinner time!

Some photos from our annual 4th of July party at our place.

Mega Post for May and June

Yes, I've been delinquent in posting photos of what we've been up to. So here's a post that summarizes what we've been doing for the last couple of months.

Hanging out with friends

Milwaukee Zoo

Free Fishing Day

Kohler Classic 5k and 1 mile

Boating with Friends on Elkhart Lake

Bay Beach

Brewers Game (Max's first game!)

Easter With The Family

First Pinewood Derby

Sam had his first Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby this year and he did pretty well. Sam chose the design and with the help of his uncle's tools, we were able to carve out a nice looking car. However, he didn't win any races...in fact, he took last place overall. (no engineers here)

On the bright side, Sam did win a trophy for having the "Most Aerodynamic" car and he received a medal for having the "Least Aerodynamic" car (meaning...he came in last). He didn't really care about the winning anyway and was very happy to go home with his first trophy and a medal. We had a great time building the car together and Sam enjoyed cheering on his friends as the cars raced for first place.
