Break out the slip-n-slide! I even went down a few times which Joey thought was pretty funny.
The grass has taken a beating this week, the kids have had the slip-n-slide out everyday this week 🙂
We had a great weekend at the cabin this weekend. We partied with neighbors, saved a old turtle from getting run over, played in a human hamster ball, played Dave’s new shuffleboard, and played bingo at the legion.

We missed the MSP block party last year because we were at the cabin. The same conflict was scheduled this year. I thought that it would be fun to take Carolyn and the kids down to see where I stay and work when I visit Atlanta.
We headed down on Friday morning through Nashville (thanks Justin) and ended up at the hotel in the early evening. It was a lot of fun taking the kids through the airport and to the hotel where I usually stay. They were very curious and the mystery of where I am is now gone. The hotel staff upgraded our room for us which was really nice to have the extra space. We went swimming and then off to “Joe’s” for some dinner. The kids were sleeping until the hotel fire alarm went off and woke us all up 🙂 We were then off to the block party. The kids experienced some Georgia heat and were worn out pretty quickly. Especially Elizabeth who had dance performances late into the night two times earlier in the week.
We had a great time and we were home around dinner only about 24 hours after arriving in Atlanta this evening.
BTW, it was fun following Twitter via #DLBlockParty to keep up with what was happening.

Tonight Joey celebrated his graduation from pre-school. We held him back a year so he pretty much has a doctorate of pre-school 🙂 We are very excited for you to attend kindergarten next year buddy. Good job Joey!
Joey’s class singing the “Graduation” song…
Elizabeth performed tonight in a ballet show based on the Wizard of Oz. She performed very well as a little munchkin, we are very proud of you Elizabeth!
We were not allowed to take pictures during the show. I did sneak a couple in at the end…
**Update – Published pictures of the show Elizabeth is pictured with her back to the camera.
Good times last night, happy birthday Paul! Dan and LeAnn were very kind to host the party 🙂
I helped out today with the minnow races while Carolyn walked Joey and some buds around the school. We had a good time cheering on the little minnows in the races and the kids sure got into it. I was even lucky enough to have my own kids come through for some racing action.
Side note – I did learn that the game was originally setup for some parents as a drinking game 🙂

We were tired of being inside today so we headed out for some GeoCaching fun in the cold. We hit up four caches in three park visits. I forgot to get a picture of the first two 🙁
Elizabeth was very proud to find this one…
Joey remembered the location of this one and quickly grabbed it to show Elizabeth
Proof of our visit from last summer – “6/5/10 Joey”
Today was a big day for Elizabeth as she participated in her first communion. We were surrounded with friends and family and Elizabeth looked beautiful. We are very proud of you Elizabeth!!
