CCS Golf Tourney
Catholic Challenge Sports is a league of young adults who enjoy recreation. Through this league I have participated in flag football, dodgeball, ultimate frisbee, kickball, and now miniature golf.
My teammates, the Schwallers, their friend, and I were team Golf Terms. Though we thought we may have a running for the theme contest, we ended up winning the tourney for our skill instead. For a game of best ball, we tied for first with a score of 15 under par. However we had to play one extra hole to see who the first place team would win the title. My teammates entrusted the task to me. So I competed against the other team, for a hole that felt much like the PGA, with the crowd standing by in silence anticipating each stroke. Somehow, I managed to win it for the team, even though my first "putt" landed off course!
It was a fun night and a good reminder that a game of putt putt can be great entertainment!

Madison
For the fourth of July weekend, Jessica and I flew into Madison, WI to spend a few days with Kelly Watters. It was a great weekend and I am sold that Madison is a great city! We walked around campus, the downtown area, the Capital. We enjoyed the city market which encompassed the squared block surrounding the Capital building. We enjoyed the two Terraces of Lake Monona and Lake Mendota, and enjoyed catching up!
I have to admit that Dane's Circle Crop Wheat may outdo Boulevard Wheat!
Kelly and Jess
For the 4th, we traveled just outside of Madison into a nearby town of Sauk City to watch the fireworks atop a bridge over the Wisconsin River
Kelly, Jess and I went on our last day to the Terrace at the campus union which overlooks Lake Mendota. There to our surprise we ran into Theo, our high school friend, and Laura!
After my time with Jessica and Kelly, my high school friends, I ventured over to Emily and Ben Beier's home, two of my college friends. Here they are with their daughter Moira. I spent a few days with them in which we enjoyed good ice cream, beer (we partook in beer on the campus terrace), looking at the local gardens, good walks, and great time to catch up.
Here's a close up of sweet Moira!
Madison was a great way to welcome the summer season and to spend time with good friends!

STL: Father's Day
Happy Father's Day Dad!
I wrapped up my visit to St. Louis celebrating Father's Day. I went to Mass in the morning with Dad and Francine, followed by a delicious breakfast at Schneithorts. After some down time at Dad's, I ventured over to my grandma's for a few hours, then came back over to dad's for a steak dinner! Dad, I am glad I got to spend the day with you!
At Grandma's...
The day before Father's Day was my late grandpa's birthday. We decided to honor his fatherhood and birthday on Father's Day. We certainly celebrated. The afternoon consisted of catching up, water balloon fight, cards, and of course a dance party. Some of my younger cousins tried to teach the family the Hannah Montana Hoedown Throwdown.

STL: Aunt Germaine and Uncle Peck's 50th
During my time in St. Louis, I got to celebrate my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary in Kelso, MO. We attended a Mass in honor of them, which was packed and then went to a reception with an evening of pictures, dancing, and of course dumplings! Happy Anniversary Aunt Germaine and Uncle Peck! I am glad I got to celebrate with you and the rest of the family!
