BASEBALL, HOTDATES, FATHER'S DAY!!!!!

Elyse manned the camera while Dad & I watched the game. Zachary pitched (dirty pants from sliding into the base).


Proof that Elyse was there too!

Zachary's team won 11-3. We played Mundelein (the town west of us).

Dad & I went to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for our 32nd anniversary. The kids stayed home (alone!). This fountain is in front of "The Riviera." We were going to get a picture under the sign to prove we were on the Riviera, but by the time we thought of it, it was too far to walk back.

Lake Geneva is a lot like Nashville, Indiana. All kinds of shops to visit. It is on a much bigger scale though. Most of the stores closed at 5:00, but we weren't there for shopping. We walked for quite awhile, looking for a restaurant to eat dinner. Tim picked it out. The restaurant turned out to be an expensive hamburger joint. Over priced, and only so-so on taste. Dad had a BBQ chicken sandwich, I had a teriyaki chicken sandwich. They gave us enough fries to sink a battleship. It must have been two potatoes worth.

The infamous restaurant:


FATHER'S DAY: We decided this year that we would just have a nice dinner and the kids would make cards for Father's Day and Mother's Day.

Today in SS, we started a new program for the summer. It is called Pecha Kucha. It is 20 power point pictures that stay on the screen for 20 seconds while the teacher explains each one. We are studying Proverbs throughout the summer. After the 20 pictures, we discuss questions about the subject. Today's subject was friendship. Dad & I sat at a table with three other people. All three people I had never seen before. Dad knew the one lady, but I didn't. She only goes to our church during the summer, because she lives in Florida during the winter. The other couple had only been at our church once, so I didn't feel bad that I had never seen them before. It is an interesting way to teach a lesson, not sure I like it though.

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers reading this message!
