lake fun with the Kluvers

Eli and I met my parents for supper on the way to the lake Thursday night.  I had to snap a picture of him bellied up to the bar.  He was watching "Wheel of Fortune".

Thanks for making the long trip Kluvers!  Also, thank you Mom and Dad for everything you did and letting us use your house!

Wilderness Resort









 Even the big kids had fun.




July 22nd

One snowy winter day, Noah decided to Google himself.  This lead to the discovery of Noah's Ark Water Park in Wisconsin Dells.  I decided it would be fun to go there over his birthday.  When all was said and done, we opted for a family gathering at the Wilderness Resort (aka KID HEAVEN).  Eli even thanked Noah for being born.  We spent the afternoon at a water park and went back to our condo for a party.

 The big gifts this year (besides money) were a pogo stick and a ripstik. Therefore, he also  received knee and elbow pads.

 Happy Birthday to our brave, mischievous, cooperative, independent, intelligent, wild, courageous, busy, helpful, adventurous, daring, curious, witty, energetic, smart, impulsive, strong, lovable 6 year old!  What happened to our baby?  


 This was not a picture from the party, but it is one of my favorites from the Dells.  After watching Grandma Cathy and her sisters, Eli wanted Grandma to teach him how to knit.

We had an early birthday celebration with the Schwantzs and Watzkes on Friday night.
