Splashing Good Fun
On Friday: Happy Birthday, Ed!
On Saturday: Happy Golden Birthday, Me!
There was lots of fun at a neighborhood carnival at Our Savior's on Friday evening. There's a photo album here and a movie of me in the dunk tank here. Yup, that's right, I was in a dunk tank. It was a great experience -- the only trouble was the platform I sat on. If you don't sit far enough forward, the platform hits you in the back as you fall in. Thanks to Allison, one of the summer interns, who pointed that out to me before my stay in the tank.
My birthday wasn't all that eventful, but that's how I liked it. We went shopping at various places and ventured to Tenuta's in Kenosha for dinner. Tenuta's has some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. They use to have a location in Sturtevant, about five minutes away from our house. I could probably have run there in about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, that location closed about a year ago because of some lease issues. In any case, it was worth the 25-minute drive. There's still some leftovers in the fridge. :)
We checked out Kenosha Bible Church this morning. They have a unique service experience called "Video Cafe". After grabbing a muffin and some coffee or juice, you can sit at a table with other worshippers. After the contemporary-style band warms everyone up, we watch the pastor's sermon, taped at the earlier service in the sanctuary. We might visit there again.
After the service, we went to Woodman's market (also in Kenosha) and stocked up on items for our upcoming fireworks party. I think we're well prepared for the exciting weeks ahead!
