Zoo, Rhythm and Booms

John was in a photo contest today at the Henry Vilas Zoo. In part it was a fun way for photographers to try out a lot of different lenses, as free rental lenses were provided for the day. We thought it’d be cool for Owen and I to go along because, hey, it’s the zoo. […]

5 minute Thursday update

The score is an original by John Williams, and the cast includes Kate Capshaw, Lea Thompson, Kelly Preston, Tom Skerrit, and Joaquin Phoenix (as Leaf Phoenix).

Owen’s visitor

Hooray! After several failed attempts due to scheduling conflicts, we finally had Owen’s friend Andrew over for a visit. He’s an awesome, awesome kid (with super nice parents too) and the two of them played nonstop inside and out for 3 hours straight. At the end of their visit, we walked Andrew home with walking […]

Starting Level 5

This morning Owen had his first Level 5 swimming class. The class has only two kids (sometimes happens in the higher level classes). That’s great though, because the added instruction is always awesome. Before we got there Owen was a little wary because his last class ended a few months back, but once he hit […]
