Let's Go Boating

We had such a great day boating around Procida and Ischia celebrating Madd's birthday, we decided to make a family day out of it during the long Labor Day Weekend

One of the most picturesque spots in Italy

First Day of School 2014

School is back in session! Here is our beautiful 4th grader

and our handsome 2nd grader



 I looped up with my students to 5th grade this year. 19 of my 23 kids were with me last year.  This was the best/easiest first day in my 12 year teaching career! :)

Mud Run

This morning was MWR's annual Mud Run.  Emma and Camden participated in the 2K event and LOVED it!

The starting line was the goal post in the background.  Here's a great pic of both kids coming out of the first mud pit (with a big crowd of people following them)
 Crawling through the sand obstacle 
 All smiles as they pass by on the road

 The second loop through the mud pit

 Camden got drenched by the hose when he passed through



 Finish line!

 Camden was mesmerized by the other runners finishing, but the sand and mud on his face are priceless!

A FOREty Something Celebration

Our friend, Ron Zimmermann, celebrated his birthday last weekend. He humored his wife and her friends by agreeing to a theme birthday party. Since Ron is an avid golfer, the theme was pretty obvious...


 Swimming in the Z's pool

 The cornhole continued after dark... we just moved it under the street lights
Cheers to the birthday boy!

Sibling Splashin'

I have really slacked on taking pictures at the pool this summer.  Here are some great highlights of these two crazy kids having fun.
