Austin and Justin blowing up Tyler's slip and slide - All the neighbors having fun out back - even Kendyl had fun with the boys! - After the slip and slide they hooked the hose on the playset to make the slide slippery (nice mud puddle, too). And finally, Ascher - keeping his distance but making sure he's in position to pounce when the little birds twitter by.

Adam and Tyler trying to pop a balloon together - it eventually had to get stomped. Next, Matthew, Maddie, and Joshua with the party blowers. And, Gage, Calvin, and Tyler in the next pic. We had a really awesome time at Pamperin Park! It was a beautiful day - about 77 degrees, the wind was blowing but not forcefully, as usual. We had a really good time - went through 23 hotdogs and 22 buns, 2 bags of chips, 2 2ltrs, 16 little hugs (juice) and the entire outer rim of a 1/4 sheet cake plus half the inside. Tammy was terrific help, thanks so much for coming! Maddie was a great helper, too. Mike stayed with Adam and 7 other siblings which made the party a lot more fun. I love a crowd! The kids enjoyed themselves and he helped out with the cake so I could film and snap pics. Thanks to Calvin and Gage for being able to come too. Tyler will miss all of you when we leave. Thanks to Cheryl for taking the big boys biking and for hanging out with me til - midnight! I had a great time. Ben and Cody - the boys are seriosly going to miss you guys!

The wind kept blowing out the candles so we tried to create a barricade with the presents. He had a skateboard cake - with a ton of icing to make the ramps! The pic's really speak for themselves.

Tammy, Matthew, Joshua, Maddie - Logan, Ben, Justin, and Martin, I think. Then, Adam, Calvin, Cody, Maddie, Tyler, and Gage.

Future Taco King!

Took Joshua to the N.E.W. Zoo pic 1: the praire dogs, pic 2: a Badger - WI state animal, pic 3: mama and baby moose, pic 4: feeding the goat - we fed the giraffe too but, too many little kids unattended holding hands out for the cracker I bought for Joshua to feed. You know me - of course I had to share.

Denise, Christine, me, Tammy, Becky, and Becky at the bar before heading to the theater to see Sex And The City! - It was great and I was glad I saw it!!!! -2nd pic: Becky, Tammy, me in front of The Strand in Manitowoc.

The boys' at Pamperin park - we didn't find the cache the first time we went looking but, we found it the second time - with daddy along. We met up with other geocachers which was fun!
