Wildlife On the Bike Trail

We rode a 12 mile ride on the Pheasant Run Conservancy Place Trail.  Here are photos from our fun ride.

Great ride with awesome friends, Jenny and Marc Cifuentes.

Fun In The Snow

Cindy emailed a Google Offers for skiing at Alta, Utah (our favorite place to ski). We could get $10 off an all day pass plus a $10 gift card. Sounded like such a good offer and we were looking for an excuse to get out there to ski again. We were praying everyday for snow in the mountains and look what we got. It was beautiful

Carl, Tracy and Marissa went with us. Marissa joined the ski school for the afternoon and fell in love with skiing. She was pretty upset when we had to leave. I'm so glad she had such a good time and loves skiing.

Another Interesting Bike Ride

So it's Labor Day. We should labor, right? We decided to try another bike trail today (there are so many to choose from). We went to Fort Atkinson to ride the Glacial River Trail. It's an 8 mile long trail so we decided that 16 miles round trip was something we could do. Note the name of the trail Glacial RIVER Trail. It runs right along side of the highway we traveled to get to the trail. Not a river in site of the trail ride. It was beautiful though.

We love the well maintained trails in Wisconsin.

Minute To Win It

The Activity Days girls invited one of their parents to attend our "Minute To Win It" game night. We played 8 different games. Some seemed like they should be easy but actually were very difficult to complete. We all had a super fun time trying each game.


Teams Waiting for Instructions


This Blows - Blow up the balloon and blow 15 cups off the table with the balloon in ONE minute.


Speed Eraser - Using the eraser end of unsharpened pencils and seven glasses, try to bounce one pencil into each glass in ONE minute.


Sharp Shooter - From 8 feet away, shoot three UNO cards with rubber bands to knock them over in ONE minute.


Marbles Grande - Using ping-pong balls, throw them at the colored ping-pong balls inside the hula hoop to knock them out of the hula hoop in ONE minute.


Defying Gravity - Using three inflated balloons keep them in the air using only your hands for ONE minute.


Broomski Ball - We didn't actually use brooms but had the teams bounce tennis balls to get them into two different size garbage cans in ONE minute.


Junk In The Trunk - With a kleenex box with 8 ping-pong balls inside tied to your back, try to get all 8 balls out of the box by jumping up and down in ONE minute.
