"Field of Dreams" Night at the Springfield Cardinals Game

Kate (#12) and Lily's (#4) softball team had Springfield Cardinals Night, where they get introduced before the game, and before the real players (who they then get to stand next to during the National Anthem. Then there was lots of running around and not much watching the game! For any particularly non-packer fans, #12 is Aaron Rodgers, and #4 of course is Brett Favre.

Swimming with our friends

On one of the last weeks of summer we had a couple of our favorite families over to swim at the neighbor's pool, and boy was that a pool full! We played sharks and minnows and dove through a giant tube into the pool a thousand times. Mom had fun trying to catch us as we were going through on camera . . . .

Green Bay Vacation - August 2008

Lunch at Brett Favre's Steakhouse!

Below we have the kids at Sunset Beach just south of Door County and north of Green Bay.We stayed 3 nights, spent time on a sand beach teaching the kids to play backyard type touch football, a day in Green Bay for watching training camp and the Packer experience, and a day in Door County for some more beach time, putt putt golf, and a hike up a fire tower . . . the kids had a blast!
