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.

We spent last weekend in Wisconsin camping at Jellystone with Kyle, Sarah, and family. Both kids and grown ups had a great time. Friday’s weather was perfect for the waterpark and then Saturday started with rain. We escaped to a local indoor waterpark to save the morning and early afternoon and resumed our outdoor activities later that day after the rain had stopped. I hope that we all get there again soon!

This weekend was pretty busy with some really fun events. On Friday night, the neighbor guys started out with some socialization around the fire at Dan and Cassie’s house. On Saturday, we went to the Delta Block Party where the kids enjoyed face painting, caricatures, and jump houses. All four of us enjoyed the give-aways, live music, lunch, and various treats. Carolyn took the kids home so that Joey could attend Jeremy’s birthday party and let me stay with Artur, Justin, and Stacey which was a lot of fun. We saw many co-workers and friends. On Sunday, we attended the Dan Patch Parade with some neighbors. The weather was beautiful and it was just plain fun all around 😉
