Day 19

As we went to my Alma Mater today - it was my turn to journal!

We headed over to Calvin in the morning and visited the Nature Preserve after picking up our Alumni packet. Sadly, we forgot our camera at home and so, we missed taking a few pictures of nature-things. Then we headed over to visit my friend Todd's work and saw his office and learned more about what he did in computer engineering. We headed back to Calvin and I showed the family where I used to live, take classes, etc. We went back to the house and the kids hung out for a while...then we headed back to Calvin for the Block Party. As it was raining it turned more into a "food free-for-all" and many Calvin students enjoyed free pizza or tacos from the local businesses supplying the food. We managed to get some food for the kids and visit with 4 other couples from the 1994 era at Calvin and enjoyed watching our 15+ kids playing around in varying capacities. We were amazed at the size of the fieldhouse (indoor pool, track, and multiple gyms) and even did some running with the kids. After that, back home and preparing for the trip to Chicago in the early AM for Amy's 15 year reunion stuff.

Here we all ar...lots of kids...a few alumni!

The kids had a blast at the indoor track - of all places.

Ryan, my Calvin-friendly son...we took a quick snapshot at the Calvin sign before heading home.

  1. You only have one Calvin-friendly child? You can do better than that, Scott! ;) Hopefully the other 3 are all into Wheaton, and not that other place...

  2. They wanted to run, because they have been to so many historic sights that probably don't permit running and general tomfoolery.
