Becky's 20th Reunion Trip

I (Becky) celebrated my 20th high school reunion with friends in San Francisco and Napa Valley. Our first evening we spent exploring Chinatown and the waterfront. We got our first glimpse of Alcatraz on an eerie, foggy evening. Of course, we also rode on a trolley car. We spent one day touring vineyards in Napa Valley and rode a ferry back into the city. Another day we toured the city on a double-decker bus. We saw all the sights and made stops at Lombard Street (the crazy crooked one), Ghirardelli Square, and the Golden Gate bridge. We got off the bus and walked across the Golden Gate bridge on a beautifully clear day. Our last night we went out and celebrated like rock stars. It was an awesome trip with some of my dearest and oldest friends.

Great America 2015

The boys had their first trip to Great America.

Max's 5th Birthday

Max turned 5! He had a really good day and got to spend it with his family and friends. Max wanted to have a Ninja Turtles themed birthday party, so we decorated for the theme and for his gift from us, we constructed some pool noodle ninja turtle weapons. Soft foam perfect for smacking your brother.

We ended the party with a trip to the community pool in town where the kids had lots of fun splashing, diving and swimming for a couple hours. Max was genuinely excited about his gifts and thanked everyone with giant hugs.

Cub Scout Camp - Rokilio 2015

Sam and I had our second Cub Scout Camp at Camp Rokilio in July. It was Sam's turn to be the experienced Scout since he had gone last summer. So we knew what to expect this time around. We did swimming, boating, bb guns and archery. On his free day, Sam learned to whittle and start a camp fire. He also earned his last belt loop that he missed out on last year...disc sports. (I think that was is cool because it just says "ultimate" on the belt loop).

The food was good and on our last day, he got his wish to have giant cinnamon rolls...which we missed out on last year. They were huge and super sugary. He was also an adventurous eater over the three days. Overall, he did a great job and was very much one of the kids the younger Scouts looked up to during camp. This year, we stayed in the Train Station cabin. It even had a working model train set in one of the rooms.

Packers Stadium Tour

We toured Lambeau Field today with the boys. The new feature to the tour was the addition of music, cheering crowd and announcer introduction as you walk through the tunnel onto the field. It even gave me goosebumps (Mark). The massive new pro-shop was pretty impressive too. They will put a "G" on just about anything. Despite what he says...I'm pretty sure Sam is still a Packers fan.
