For Xavier’s 5th birthday he wanted to go to the Kalahari, so we’re here in the Wisconsin Dells for a 3 day mini-vacation. Here’s a photo for everyone of the not quite 5 year old taken yesterday. Oskar has been really interested in the new indoor amusement park they’ve opened and has discovered rock climbing. He spent close to an hour on the wall yesterday. Xavier gave it his best trying to keep up with his big brother…

After much discussion and consideration we have decided we do not want material gifts for Christmas this year. We want to make Christmas about something more. We want to make it about spending time with the people we love. So now would be a great time to make a plan to do something fun with all of The Alyn Family, or you could make a plan with one or both of our kids, and give Egg and I some time together.

Please watch this video.

You may send a gift to Oskar and Xavier if you feel the need to, but please nothing for Egg or I. If you feel you need to do something for us, please donate to a charity in our name.

God Bless!
Merry Christmas!
The Alyn Family

I had never been before and I found it to be a lot of fun. Oskar wants to create his own cache – but first we’re going to see if we can find some of the coins and tags and move those around first. I found a nice application called BlackStar for my BlackBerry just now that turns it into a useful geocaching tool. I’m not sure how much exploration we’ll be doing, but you can keep up with our explorations on geocaching.com for now.

Not included: vbs, multiple bike rides, winery, playgrounds, swimming and so so much more.

Just a few random pics…

In order to “claim” that this website is indeed mine, I need to publish this code, “rjt946zwv8″ in the RSS feed. Nothing more to see here – I’m doing some research for AF-Design is all.

Erik’s car didn’t place too well due to the lack of graphite, but Oskar did well placing 2nd in a very competitive den.

You can see some more photos on Flickr and a video of Erik’s car going backwards.

Today was certainly a full day for everyone in the Alyn household. Erik turned 10 today and Xavier attended Erik’s party as well as Alex’s (from his pre-school). Everything came off as planned and a good time was had by all. To see the rest of the photos, be sure to check out the Flickr set or just see them all after the jump.
