First mountain bike ride

After we got Dan on his way, Andrew and I hit the road to go for his first mountain bike ride! Andrew rocked it! I think disk brakes and 4" of front and back suspension felt a little crazy at first but he got the hang of it and had a blast! Rocking it on the downhills and really kicking it on the climbs. Go Andrew!

Swatting flies

On our way home we stopped by the garden to pick up some dinner items: tomato, squash, basil, carrots, cucumbers, and a few bug bites.

Hmmm,

 

Andrew took us on a tour of campus and then we had lunch! Good day in Mad town.

Dizzy Lizzy's

 

We had our annual summer party this past weekend. Full of a bike circut course over make shift bridges, a relay race that included 3 person teams, slamming a beer and dizzy lizzys, and of course the BB gun part. I have to say I am a natural at this part which is a bit shocking. Out of 15 BB's I hit the first three beer cans with my first 3 shots! Got the paper goofer in the heart too! Who would have thunk that, eh?

The Bike Ride

Some highlights from the bike ride. Trying to get the movie of Andrew swimming, on the blog. That was a fun day, the weather was perfect and the company weird as ever!

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Priceless, no? Now, Wachtel family, give this your best shot. Post a funny Jim story on the blog. If you don't know how to post, email me the story and I will post it for you!

Mom's grave

Matt and I visited mom's grave and I planted a few flowers. The Maple tree is beautiful and the site looks as it always does.

Milwaukee Day 2

Second day we did the Discovery Museum and then Bastille Days for food, the 5K, and music! Day 3 is next! Stay tuned.

Grays and Torres July 4th

Some more photos for Andrew, and anyone else wanting to do a easy 14er in the future. Pretty easy as 14ers go, we summited Grays, then Torreys and were home by 2pm.

Milwaukee Day One

The new art gig is going off! We had a barbaque that night and I didnt take any photos, so more photos from day 2.
