Before the flip

This photo was taken before the entire tube launched the four of them head over heels (and over each other). Truly a spectacular wipeout that was not caught on tape and everybody floated away from uninjured.

Great day on the lake despite the 20 mph winds. Can't wait until next time!

So the boys are participating in the 24 Hour challenge run at their school (only 8 hours to go, just in case you're counting) with about 400 of their schoolmates.

The purpose is solely personal challenge. There's no fund raising. There isn't any competition other than with yourself. It's a great time.

The odds were against the satellite snapping a photo of the event but sure enough it did (last year).

Here's the image of Lundahl MS, Crystal Lake, IL as seen on Google Maps. From the sparse crowds and the direction of the shadows this picture was taken in the morning probably just about now only 365 days ago. I'll be heading over soon to wish them luck as they push through to the end.


Lisa called to inform me that Jacob has already run 15 miles. Way to go Jacob!

Time out on the water today

The boys' friend, Andrew, joined us for some fun in the sun. The boys had a blast.

Me and a couple of my favorite moms. Noticeably missing from this photo: my mom and the mother of my children.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you.
