HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA

Lisa had her birthday on Thursday and we treated the family to the new Pizza Ranch in New ULm. They opened up a couple of weeks ago and it has looked very busy. We went about 5:00 and it wasn't too bad yet. Zander and Zach didn't eat very good but Lexi and Nick did great. Nick ate 2 lettuce salads and one piece of pizza, a cup of sunflower seeds 4 slices of desert pizza and 4 glasses of pop or punch. Lexi had 3 pieces of pizza and some pudding. I thought the bacon cheeseburger was the best pizza and the fried chicked was really good. We ran into 5 people from Kraft I work with and a couple of friends, one of Nicks teammates from baseball and Lisa's brother Mike and his girls. wow.

After eating we went to the Brown county free fair. Zach loved the farm animals. I think he would have stayed there all night. Lexi brought her spend money with and wanted to go on a ride, but it was 4 dollars for one ride. ouch. We talked her out of it and then I bought her a box of those little white poppers. They kids were throwing them around the rest of the fair. Zach likes to stomp on them till they pop.

Next we went to the Isaak Walton League pond to see the fish. They had walleyes, bass, sunfish, gars. carp, sturgeon, catfish. It is really cool to see them so close. Zach loved that too. Fish fish fish he kept yelling. Zander likes throwing the pennies at them. Nick Lexi, and Lisa all threw change trying to get it in the cup in the middle of the pond. No one made it.

On the way out of the fair we parked in front of Kent and Stacies and talked for a while. Kyle was skateboarding and talking to girls and Kaden was throwing a rock ball around. That entertained the kids till we left. We all had GREAT NIGHT.
