Adventure Time

One Saturday afternoon Madelyn and I decided to take an adventure at the ElDorado lake. We packed a lunch for a picnic and headed out. First stop was the beach area, which didn't create much of an adventure so we then went to tube below the dam. We walked up and down the area looking for shells, bobbers, fishing line, hooks, lures and of course crawdads. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and then went back to the beach area where we witnessed the tail- end of a baptism. I soaked up some sun and Madelyn made a few new friends while swimming.

She Turned 9 on May Twenty Nine.

Madelyn had three parties to celebrate turning nine! Apparently turning nine is kind of a big deal or she is just well loved. She chose a movie theme for her friend birthday party. She invited all her classemantes and a few other friends to her party. Thankfully her daddy was kind enough to let us use the highschool auditorium for the move night. Once kids arrrive they had cake, she opened presents and then they all quietly intently watched the movie Jack and Jill. Thankfully parents arrived soon after the movie and all but three little girls headed home. The three girls and Madelyn had a slumber party at Ryan's house. I went over the next morning to see the girls off and to help clean up.
Madelyn and I then headed to Council Grove lake where we roughed it camped in my parents air conditioned camper for a couple nights and clebrated her birthday with my family. She then had the Muhlig family birthday party at the Council Grove Pizza Hut. She is a much loved nine year old!

Life

I have been quite the blogger slacker in recent months, apparently life got in the way. I hope to catch up in the near future with pictures from Madelyn's birthday, our adventure at ElDorado lake, softball and our move to a new house.
