After a full morning/afternoon of baseball games I was ready to let my hair down (as it were) and relax. I took Owen downtown Iowa City to see "Cirque Stupendo". They are a local act that has a burlesque/hillbilly feel with some great music and some hysterical acts. It's hard to say who my favorite act is, but the guy with the hula-hoops made Owen and I both laugh together. Enjoy!

The Band

The Juggler

The Singers

The Hoopist

They all played acoustically, so the vocals were hard to understand

Luther on the bowsaw! He also does tightrope walking and juggling, but had a problem with his back and could only sit this performance.

Andy playing and singing.

The accordian/skater girl.

What good hillbilly band would be without a bass player?

There were around 200 people looking on!

These people put on such an amazing show! Check them out sometime!

Cheers!

Took Owen out to the docks to check out the pontoons and the lake. It was great to feel the lake air and the sunshine. I think having a pontoon sounds like fun for a family, but it might just end up taking me away from other things that I really want to do. Who knows?

Here are some pics from our walk. Enjoy!

He thought he should put this in the water. No reason, it just needed to be there!

Careful, little man!

Notice the "Beetle Bailey" foot?

Cheers!

I took the boys out to the spillway, where Mcbride meets the Coralville reservoir. The water was rushing over the falls and they loved it. Even when its hot and humid, the wind coming up over the dam still feels cool. Enjoy the shots!

Hope you can get out and enjoy the outdoors. More climbing pics coming soon! Stay tuned! 

We all made it down to the Iowa City Farmers Market today. It's events like this that make me realize why I love Iowa City so much. What a great vibe! Enjoy the random shots.

Hope you get a chance to go to your local farmers market and help local farmers make a living. Till next time, Cheers!

Isaac turned eleven today! I went through our photo library and dug up some old (4 years old) pictures of him from then till now. I put them in chronological order, however some are just random, some are more meaningful shots. Enjoy!

This last one is my personal fave!

Thanks, Isaac, for being awesome!

Love ya, big guy!
