Graduation Party

In June we went to Milwaukee for a graduation party. Here are some pic's. It was really cool getting to see all the family.

the kids played with water balloons.

the kids also got to do marshmellows in the evening

Miller time

We also took a tour of Miller Brewing Co. It takes up to 2 weeks to make the beer but it is only in the warehouse for up to 36 hours.
Adding the hops....

Taste time. Grandpa and Dad got to taste 4 types of beer and Alex and Mom stuck to the soda.

Just rows and rows of cases of beer.

Brewers ball park

Todd and Alex went to a Brewers game while we were in town and then the next day the four of us went on a tour of the ballpark. We got to see the press room, a private box, the dug outs, pitchers bullpen.

Lake Michigan time

Here are some shots at Lake Michigan. It was to cold to go into the water but we walked the beach and looked for rocks.

Hotel in Milwaukee WI

I June we took a short trip to Milwaukee for a graduation and birthday party. The hotel we stayed at had a water park for the kids. Alex had a blast. Jerry and his Daughter Haley came over for an evening.

Dad and Jerry poolside.
Alex learned to swim underwater.

Alex and Haley in the Hot Tub

The slide was a big hit as well.

Everytime Alex and I went to the pool, Dad came down and sat and laughed.

6-4-09 Got ya day

I can not believe it has been 6 years. I sit and think back at what we did to get Alex. All the paperwork, travel ect. Sometimes I think it was so long ago and other times I can not believe it has been 6 years. This year we got Alex a "new" bike. He has found out that when you have bigger tires you can go faster.

Misc end of May pics

Went to a graduation party in Mesick. Can't believe that Scott is graduated high school. LuAnn had a table for the kids.

I took Alex for a ride on the 4 wheeler. He said that Scott gave better rides, I think he ment to say faster rides.

It was a great party for us to visit. Uncle Don and Yoshie were there and of course MaryJane and Jerry. Kathy and her family(the girls at the table are her Grandkids) Heard the news that Karen and Johns oldest is expecting in Dec.

Alex came running into the house the other day. He found a turtle in the yard. He was very good with it. Played with it for a few minutes and then let it go.
