Happy Halloween!

It was a wonderfully frightful Halloween this year up in Washington D.C. It was so nice to share Hayden's first trick or treating experience with his cousins Morgan and Grant and the rest of the family. Below is a slideshow from the spooky evening!

Airplanes!

Today we took Hayden to the park just outside of the Reagan airport in Washington D.C.  He loved the planes so much.  It's a bummer my dad isn't still flying cause he would have loved a cockpit tour!  Here are some pics from the occasion.

Corvette Funfest.. Oh Yes, I was there...

I had a little father son weekend last weekend in Effingham, IL for the 35th Anniversary of Mid America Motorworks.  So for those of you that don't know, my dad likes Corvette's a lot.  This little gathering in Effingham draws around 20,000 corvettes to their fairgrounds every year.  So if you do like vette's, this is the place to be.  We managed to leave with a much better sounding vette than we arrived in thanks to Corsa (worth a click just for the sound bite) and their fantastic sounding pipes!  That being said, the festival was an interesting cross section of Americans.  Overall, I had a great time getting a chance to hang out with my dad, and seeing and hearing some pretty neat cars.  The best part of this trip is that it jump started the next vette project that we are undertaking... You'll be HEARING about it more later...

Stay tuned...

Here is a quick vid of the loudest exhaust I have ever heard followed by some images from the event...

Note the camera shake the first time he really hits the throttle.  It startled me so much I almost dropped my iPhone.  :-)

My dad's car amongst like kind...

Below is install alley where you can drive up and get a new set of pipes in 20 minutes... Do those lifts look pretty cool?  They also fit nicely in a garage like my dad's.  ;-)

Corvette Z06 doing a burnout to please the crowd..

This is about $300 worth of rubber into the burnout... lol  He had brand new tires...

The result of the ridiculous burn out.  Yes that is hundreds of dollars worth of tires bits there...

Out with the old...

In with the new.  Thank you Corsa, these things sound fantastic!

Don't they look nice?

Can't go wrong with Kettle Corn!

Yummy!

I wouldn't want to have to unload that trailer...

Now if you read this far, you are about to travel back in time...  There were two concerts on Sat. night.  The first one was Beach Boy genre Jan & Dean Show.  I felt slightly out of place.  

Then I felt a little better when Survivor came on.  Kind of fun to see a good ole hair band..  Brought me right back to middle school..  These guys dressed the part, but if you look closely they are not that young anymore.  The lead singer still had pretty amazing pipes though we left after 4 songs.  lol  

The mic stand twirling and rock lock gesturing was worth the price of admission alone...  Oh wait it was free.

There will be a series of Corvette posts as we are undertaking a pretty cool project with my dad's C5.  Stay tuned for more pics and updates!

Escape to the Zoo!

We became members of the Atlanta Zoo today! In Adam's few free hours off this weekend we took the Hs to see the animals! Adam is spending most of the weekend shooting a wedding atLake Oconee's RITZ CARLTON. Rita and Jack Henry joined us as well for a beautiful sunny day!

I was really impressed with the zoo - its not huge but it had great exhibits and Hayden was able to see all the animals up close and personal! He impressed me with his knowledge of the animals names and noises! Hayden loved the Elephant, monkeys and goats in the petting zoo!

Here are a few pics...

Happy Birthday to Hayden!!!

What a fun day with our new 2 year old!! We started out with a Bday breakfast with friends at the local IHOP! Then the real fun began at Gainesville's annual Touch a Truck Event!! It was awesome! Hayden loved seeing the firetrucks, moving trucks, dump trucks, school buses etc! He was SO excited! He wore himself out! After nap time we headed to Hayden's favorite place - Granny and Grampa's pool! We had a great dinner at The Harbour Point Grill followed by presents and cake back at Granny and Grampa's! Sarah and Mark helped us celebrate the big day providing extra loving hands to hold the kiddos and some pretty awesome photographs as well! Enjoy this slideshow and join the fun!

Hayden ended his big day singing himself to sleep with Happy Birthday...... pretty awesome!

Enjoy.

Welcoming the newest Linke - Hudson Dean!

What an amazing week this has been! We were surprised a little early this time around with an early arrival for Hudson Dean Linke! Hudson was born at 1:46 am on Friday the 26th of June!
Our friend Katie Van Buren took these images Thursday morning! We never would have guessed that 13 hours later my water would break while I was home with Hayden and Adam was playing Hockey in Alpharetta!

Hudson is doing great and looks a lot like his big brother did when he was born! I am SO smitten with my 3 men! I love it!!

Hudon's middle name DEAN is a tribute to his Grampa Donald DEAN Linke. It also happens to be a family name on both sides with both Adam and I having grandpas that were Deans and several other family members as well!

We hope that along with his middle name Hudson will inherit his grandpa's honesty, integrity and intense love for family. What an awesome example our little guy has to follow!
