Summer Fun

We are loving being back in the USA! It is been especially good to me as my Mavericks won their first NBA championship, my Aggies won the NCAA track championship in men's and women's for the third strait year (first time ever), and Aggie Baseball is heading back to the College World Series next week.

OK, I just read that and realize that I have a sports addiction problem.  The real reason that this summer has been so fun is family and friends.  I was able to play two rounds of golf within 48 hours of being on the ground thanks to Dr. Kyle.  We made it to a Whitesox game with Jack and Ruth (Becky's parents), Katie (sis), and Jessie.  

I entered the last year of my 20's on June 9th and Becky did a great job of making it one of my most favorite birthdays.  We got deep dish (even though Becky's has recently discovered that she and lactose don't get along), and then we went to a live taping of one of my favorite radio programs/podcasts - Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me. If you don't listen, I strongly suggest you start.

The b-day was finished off with the Mavs winning the pivotal game five of the NBA finals.

We also took a little family trip Wisconsin for a night.  The highlight of that would have to be a game of Cranium.



This wasn't even part of the game!  Just kidding.



We got back from Wisconsin on Sunday, and then turned right back around and drove back to visit with Frank, Gita and Sean Peterson, GSIS Korea friends.  Frank and Gita gave us a great Kenosha, WI tour.

We went to the Kenosha Dinosaur mueseum.  Super Sean in the background.

Great summer so far.
