The Kalahari

In what seems like a yearly pilgrimage to the Kalahari in October, we were there again during the Patterson Dental Seminar. As you can see the kids enjoy the perks and were in the water almost every waking hour we were there.

Kaitlyn was just jumping in, and Scott followed.Aahh, the lazy river.

The toilet bowl, is a ride Scott has never tried until this year. Can you believe I got him as he came out feet first? It is really him. He loved it and went down many times.

Good Night Kaitlyn.
There was a pumpkin carving contest in the Lobby, the head on the guy is carved. Scott thought it was cool, a white pumpkin.

We had a great time as usual and will probably be back next year...til then. Happy Autumn!

Little Farmer

On October 25th we got together with the Meyers family and had our Fall Family get together at Little Farmer just North of Fond du Lac, WI. It was a cold day with high winds which made the cold cutting. I wanted to get a good picture of the 4 cousins, but the hats tend to take away from it. it is a cute shot none the less. This is Kaitlyn, Aaron, Scott and Kyle.

Mr. and Mrs. Meyers

Barb and I took refuge in the craft barn where at least the wind was cut down. Everyone else was brave and went on a hay ride.
We are all trying to stay warm while the kids played on the hay mound and got filthy dirty.

Happy Birthday Mom!

October 24th was my Mom's Birthday. We had a nice evening. We went out to dinner to the Outback Steak House. The food was great, but the service slow. we then went back to Mom's and took some pictures. This is Mom, Kaitlyn and me.

Here is Mom and Grandma Sullivan. Grandma does not like to have her picture taken, so this was a compromise. I think it is a cute picture.
Everyone loves cake! Especially Cake and Bake! We always look for a reason to order cake. No black frosting, so no embarrassing pictures, darn.

Hello Scott!

We all gave Mom Packer tickets which she loved. Not sure if I fooled her with the mess with me box, but I tried! Of course the batteries in my camera went out when she opened them. Have a great time Mom and Happy Birthday! Love you

Carl in New Orleans

A few weeks ago Carl went to New Orleans for a CE course. He had a nice time and enjoyed the culture there. His hotel was on Bourbon Street which was loud at 3am! He asked what was the celebrations were for and people said, "oh, it is just a Friday night!"
He walked Bourbon Street and ate at a Jazz Club on Saturday Night. He even brought home some beads for Kaitlyn. I asked, "how did you get those?" He laughed and said they threw them at him. Sure Carl...

He was able to go on an Air Boat Tour which he really wanted to do. The Alligators were cool in the wild and he got many pictures of them. He brought Scott home a Gator head which is real.
On the boat they had a baby Gator, and everyone was able to hold it. The kids would have loved it!

Have no fear, no baby Gators were harmed in the making of this Blog. Carl's friend took this picture for Scott. I notice a trend...what is next?
