Breakfast Diner

The kids and I biked over to Eden Grille for breakfast this morning.
Aden would like to point out the Corvette outside the window.

Elkhart Lake

After tree removal in the morning we spent the afternoon at Elkhart Lake.

Tree removal

We had a tree removal service take out the big ash tree that was dead
by the river before it falls and causes problems like last week. Our
neighbor also helped by taking out three dead elms on his side. Aden
liked that I got to use his tractor to help pull them over to land in
the right spot.

More carnage pictures

Cathy and Kurt: We owe you a pool...


Now we are breaking "down" the house

There have been two powerful storms in the last 24 hours, both with wind gusts around 60 mph... The first storm (last night) caused a section of our pier to disconnect, and it also blew the bench off the end of the pier. We found the section of pier across the creek at the neighbor's, but we still haven't found the bench :( The next storm was this afternoon and it blew down a dead/dying elm tree. It unfortunately fell into/onto our property. This incident took with it part of our fence, shingles, a little roof, and the Goehre's pool.

Now we are breaking "down" the house

The last 24 hours has had two powerful storms... The first storm caused a chunk of our pier to disconnect and blow into the creek. We also can't find the bench for the pier :( The next storm broke a dead tree and unfortunately it fell into/onto our property. This incident took with it part of our fence, shingles, a little roof, and the Goehre's pool.

More tee ball

Here are some videos from Addie's tee ball game earlier in the week.



Breaking in the new house :(

Yep, you see that right ... We had to rip up the carpet. Beware this is what can happen when you let your children play with a car that changes color in water.

Tennis lessons

Apparently there is a difference between how the boys play tennis and how the girls play tennis.

T-ball

Arden's first time windsurfing off the lake house









Fun in the water!

Fun on the sand!

Vintage car weekend

Aden was impressed by this car. He loved walking around and looking/reading about all the cars.
