Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Max and Laney enjoyed doing some theater this summer.  Max got to play Charlie bucket in Morton Youth Theater's production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Laney played one of the Grandma's confined to the bed with the other grandparents.  It was a lot of fun and I was surprised at what a good singer Max was.  They kids had fun and made a lot of good friends.

4th of July in Sheboygan

We celebrated 4th of July with my family on Lake Michigan this year.  We all spent the weekend in a cosy condo at the Blue Harbor resort in Sheboygan, Wi.  Fun was had at the beach, watching fireworks, going to Storybook Gardens and even a trip up to Green Bay to the Bay Beach amusement park.  For some reason the beach on Lake Michigan had a bunch of small dead fish floating in the water but Max and Brielle had fun collecting them in a huge bucket.  Cat and I enjoyed getting away to Il Rotrovo for some wood fired Neopolitan styled pizza that was really delicious.  I think everyone enjoyed this weekend getaway in Wisconsin.

Lawn Olympics 2013

The Keffler's hosted another edition of the Lawn Olympics with a badminton tournament in which I couldn't buy a win.   Although we did convince Eric to participate...maybe next year we can get my wife out on the court.
