4th of July – 2013

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Keanen

We spent wonderful week up at the cabin with the family. The weather could not have been better!! As usual, the kids all had fun playing and there was a lot of tubing behind the new Netzinger boat, we went to the local parade, visited a county fair, made smores, drifted around on tubes, went on a horse pulled carriage ride, launched model rockets, visited the some historical sites, maintained our GeoCache, went fishing, visited “Florida Point”, went on many pontoon trips, and hung out with friends.

Elizabeth’s 4th Grade volcano project

Posted on June 4, 2013 by Keanen

Elizabeth teamed up with Ella and Ruby on a volcano project and “the Dads” were put in charge of this project by our spouses. Kyle coordinated so that we could get the project going, Matt encouraged the girls to be creative, and I looked for the most explosive eruption which was Mentos and Diet Coke instead of the baking powder solution 🙂

The girls did a great job! They were very creative with all of the details of pine and palm trees, painting, water, and dinosaurs.

First camping trip of 2013 – Baker State Park

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Keanen

We joined the Netzinger family and friends at their annual first camping trip of the year. We had not been on this trip since 2009. I went early on Friday afternoon to setup the camper and then picked up Carolyn and the kids after school to avoid setting up in the rain.

We enjoyed Friday night and most of Saturday but it was certainly muddy especially after all the rain on Saturday morning. The time with friends and family was great and the kids all had a great time together. A little (or a lot) of mud never killed anyone 🙂 I hope to join the crew again next year.

Polar Plunge 2013

Posted on February 23, 2013 by Keanen

We had another successful year at the Polar Plunge. With your help, Joey and I raised over $1,100 and our team total was over $2,300 for the Special Olympics of Minnesota. A special thank you to my Delta family for helping so generously 🙂

It was a lot of fun having many family members join (Little Joe, Big Joe, and Nix) this year along with some friends that included newbies and Plunge vets. Joey was a cool customer until we go to the event and then he expressed some concern. He was ready to go once we got in line and handled it like a champ!! Too bad that old Dad forgot to make a stop in the hot tub 🙁 Hopefully he returns with us next year! We were all so proud of him to try this experience. Thanks again for everyone’s contributions!

Yesterday the kids were outside for about six hours having a blast in the snow. Elizabeth has been asking when the snow is going to be here for the last couple of months. She and I started to build a snowman and the boys joined in to help us 🙂

Joe and Penni’s 25th Anniversary Party

Posted on September 16, 2012 by Keanen

Carolyn, Jen, Nix, Stan, and I threw a surprise party for Mom and Joe yesterday at Nix and Jen’s home. The party was an absolute blast! We had friends and family from all parts of their lives. It was really great to see everyone come together for this occasion 🙂 Thanks to all that came and for the well wishes for those that could not make it. Also, a BIG thanks to Gerald for all of the help.
