Happy 6th Anniversary to us!

In honor of our 6th anniversary we spent a great day together and with friends enjoying the beautiful weather.  First we ventured over to see the U of M engineering team race their suped-up Go Kart.  It's so loud that we could hear it from our house in Northwood V, so we went to investigate.  The kids thought it was really awesome...but too loud.  Here are some pictures.

After watching for a while, we continued on and burnt off some energy at U of M's "Wave Field" - a really cool environmental sculpture by Maya Lin (creator of the Vietnam Memorial).  You can check it out at this website http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/lin/card2.html

We ran, jumped, and tumbled our way through this amazing ocean of grass.  See for yourself!

Inspired by the engineering club, we came back home and built our own race cars out of legos.  After lunch we went back to watch the race car, this time dragging our neighbors along.  The 6 kids (the 4 actual children plus the 2 dads) had a fun chasing one another over the waves for a second time.  Everyone had a really great time.  And what better way to close out a great day than with ice cream?  All in all, the perfect day, and the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary.
