Last weekend started with a father/daughter dance and went straight into camping mode.

Both daughters and dads had fun at the dance…
The girls are on the wrong side of the dance floor here…
Kyle and I had some fun with our fancy camping attire once we arrived at the campground 🙂
The kids were ready to go right away Saturday morning
Carolyn and I had a blast with friends last night at the Radisson Blue hotel. Good food, good music, and great company 🙂
Some of the usual suspects…
There are plenty of others that I did not get on camera…
Carolyn and I were joined by Dan, LeAnn, Nix, Jenny, Stan, and Chrissy in Cozumel this past week. We faced a lot of rain and cold weather until the day that we were due to leave but still managed to have a great time! It was a bonus that ‘cold’ Cozumel weather was still upwards to 90 degrees warmer than it was at home 🙂

It rained for four of our five days but we did not care and enjoyed ourselves
Carolyn sent a picture to Mom each day to show that her boys were still alive 🙂
A few of us went on a snorkel tour
The nearby ships were fun to watch
We saw the ship that my parents and Stan are going on in the coming months…
It was so hard to leave on our last day with our first views of the sun
I was able to take a good amount of time off this Christmas. We played games, video games, went ice skating, sledding, watched football, went to a game, shopped, spent time with family, and enjoyed a quiet new year. It was very relaxing to be home with everyone.

Since Labor Day and the start of school, our family has been busy with sports and other activities just like many of our friends. We have enjoyed nice fall days, went to karate, karate tournaments, volleyball and dance practice, a volleyball tournament, had a visit from our niece Ruby, carved pumpkins, celebrated 14 years of marriage, and finally a birthday for a dear neighbor.

The final summer holiday weekend of the summer was a good one. We hung out in the water quite a bit, took boat rides, went geocaching when it was cooled off, made crafts, build forts from firewood, and hung out with friends.
Geocaching fun
Great friends
Craft time for the kids

It’s been many years since I have been able to hang out with the Hollahan’s two weeks in a row 🙂 We made it happen this summer and had them up at the cabin followed by a visit to Lake Sarah the following weekend. Everyone had a blast!
On the way home from Lake Sarah we visited the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum which both Carolyn and Elizabeth were very excited about.

Lots of focus
A few weeks late but catching up on events with the family. Joey had his 8th birthday party with his friends at Pump It Up. Good times were had by all and it was an appropriate place for the boys to burn some energy!

The crew being goofy
The theme of the party was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for everything and then when we were ordering cake he did not want TMNT but picked Harry Potter instead
Joey still had time for his big sister 🙂
