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!
Carolyn did a wonderful job organizing two birthday parties last week. Elizabeth celebrated her 9th birthday and Joey celebrated his 7th. Both celebrated with their close buds 🙂
This was a first for the two of them to have their own party with friends so it was interesting to hear what they wanted to individually do with their own party.

Happy birthday Joe!!!

Arrrrr! It’s Joey’s pirate birthday party, originally uploaded by Woldfamily.net.
We had the family up at the cabin for the entire week. Jen, Nix, and Stan joined us as well. Sinking boats (nobody trying to save us), canoeing with Mike, the parade, and lots of time in the water trying to stay cool are just some of the wonderful memories from the week. Great times were had by all in the extremely hot weather. I even buckled and we bought an air conditioner for the camper 🙂

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 😉

It’s been a busy few weeks in our family. Joey placed second in his first karate competition and I walked for my graduation. It was a lot of fun to watch Joe place in his competition since he worked so hard and I felt very blessed to have my entire family watch me walk for graduation.

Yesterday the kids and I spent some time at the local pool. As expected, it
was very busy on a beautiful day and had a great time.
Joey is very proud of himself and we are very proud of him! He has been working on his form and technique outside of class and it paid off 🙂 Go Joe!
