Wisconsin


We went to Green Lake, Wisconsin last week for a Mohr family reunion and Grandma and Grandpa Mohr memorial. We were a little worried at first because of the 2 1/2 hour flight, 1 hour layover, 1 hour flight and 2 hour drive with the boys- but they both did way better than expected! We bought Calon a baby leash/backpack before we went and never before have I spent a better $10. He got to be free and safe at the same time. Amazing what a difference it made!

It was beautiful there- we were right on the lake in 3 lake houses that were all split into upper and lower self sustaining units. There was room to play and it was sooo green, plus the weather was beautiful while we were there.

We had a great time with all the family- you can't really go wrong with good food, good drinks and good company and we had plenty of all 3. It was fun getting to see the old homesteads of Ralph and Ruth (Chad's maternal grandparents). We got to do a few tours- the Miller Brewery was by far the best, the Jelly Belly tour was pretty good and the cheese tour we went on...well, at least they gave us free cheese!

Great trip!!!

Here are quite a few pics from our trip. You can click on it to make it bigger.

Summer with Monica

Monica is here with us for 6 weeks this summer. We are doing a "boot camp" to get in shape while she is here. We've been eating healthy, exercising and even trying out hand at training for a sprint triathlon that is on July 19th in Flagstaff, AZ http://www.mountainmanevents.com/mountainmantriathlon.htm (we are really hoping to be able to do it- it will be incredibly hard, but we have already gotten so much better we are hoping we can make it a reality instead of a dream-we'll see.) Here are a few pics since Moni has been here.

Family Photos

A while ago I won a free photo session from a raffle. We finally had the opportunity to take advantage of it and got some pretty neat shots....
