Labor Day Weekend

Posted by joel on September 8, 2009

Over Labor Day weekend I spent a good amount of time in Madison. Seth and I had some brother bonding: Saturday morning we rode 57 miles including most of the Madison Iron-man  loop followed by going to Regent St. for some afternoon Badger festivities. Initially, we (Seth, Travis and I) had tickets but decided that we were having too much fun and sold the tickets. At which point we had more beer money which ended up providing good times at The Big 10, Red Shed, and pizza at Ians (MM!!).

We followed up the Badger festivities with a trip over to Milwaukee on Sunday morning to watch the Crew play the Giants of San Fransisco. After watching through the 8th we both decided it was best to boogie and listen to the remainder of the game in the car so we could get a second ride in. We got back to Madison right around 5pm which gave us enough time to get in a 37 miler which included the Observatory climb – good hangover medicine btw. Coincidentally, about the time we got back we heard on the radio that Prince hit a walk-off home run for the Crew to avoid the sweep with a 3-2 victory!

I ended up driving home after Seth and I grabbed supper at Noodles & Co. and rolled in to Wausau about 11:30. I slept in until roughly 6:30 when Gavin and Abby decided to get up – got both changed and fed. Once that was out of the way I proceeded to clean out the entire lower level of the house as we’re getting the hard-wood floors refinished Wednesday and Thursday this week. Thanks to Luke and Chad for helping clear out the big stuff!

I got work taken care of today for both myself and MIV – now I’m planning to get some R&R in Door County with Beth, Seth, and Brittney. Should be a peaceful and relaxing time. Thanks to Kenny and Darlene for watching the three kids in our absence!

Updated Site

Posted by joel on August 13, 2009

In an ongoing effort to keep my family and friends current on what goes on within the Hynes family house hold, I thought it would be a great idea to update http://www.joelhynes.com with a more current interface. Most of the old posts are now in an archive stored away on a server at 424 and I will work on getting those published. For now, have a look at the updated version of the site.

As it pertains to the family, a few events have, are, and will take place:

1. Gramma Bernies Bday – Aug 13, 2009
2. Gavin’s 3rd Bday – Aug 14, 2009
3. Logans return to Wausau – Aug 13, 2009
4. Race the Lake (road race in Fon du Lac) Aug 16, 2009
5. Most importantly, we are expecting our fourth child!
