Nate got a kayak for Christmas and has been patiently waiting for the day that he could put it in the water. Well, the day finally came on Sunday! We had beautiful 80 degree, sunny weather and the current was moving pretty slow on the river, so I decided to take the kids down to the island for a little fun. We loaded up Nate's kayak in the Durango and drove down to the access point just a couple of blocks from home. We carried the kayak down to the river and our friends the Baldus's were there with their pontoon boat. We got Nate in the water, hitched a ride to the island on the boat, and spent a couple of hours having fun in the water and playing in the sand. Nate was kind enough to let all the kids have a turn in the kayak and then when it was time to head home, he took off down the river and met us at home. Our neighbors across the street let us use their dock so he was able to get out there and I helped him carry the kayak across the street to home. What a great afternoon!

Party in the Park 2009
Saturday was the 3rd Annual Party in the Park hosted by our church, St. Katharine Drexel. Kim has been on the committee for 3 years now, in charge of ticket sales. Party in the Park is a great family event that raises money for our parish. This year we had more bands than ever, more inflatables for the kids and teen and toddler areas. It was the best one yet! It is an all day event for us because the whole family pitches in to help. Steve and the kids helped with set-up in the morning, Sarah volunteered at one of the inflatables, Steve grilled during the event and helped with tear down. Kim puts in many hours in the months and week prior to the event and was on hand all day to help with ticket sales,among other things. We spend the whole day at the park listening to great music and visiting with friends. Natalie was able to stay most of the day and then went home with the sitter at bedtime. We don't have too many pictures since we were all busy volunteering, but I'll add more as I get them from others who had cameras there.
