Back from the Canada trip and feeling like I'm back to normal. Having a short work week certainly helps ease the adjustment!


This is our panoramic scene we designed at one of the several scenic pull-outs off the road. We were able to see tons of wildlife: 6 bears, 3 of which were cubs, deer, mountain goats, a wolf, elk, and a long-horned sheep. Every hike was well worth the trip. The lakes are all glacier fed so they're unbelievably pure turquoise. Our timeshare was luxurious and roomy. We just really missed having Bryn along. I posted pictures on Facebook so I'm not going to hoard up even more cyberspace by placing them here. You can view them by clicking on these links:

While we were in Canada Bryn attended Badger Girls State is Oshkosh. She was elected Police Chief of her city, Maple, and served as County Supervisor. She really liked her roommate, Tate, who was from Washington Island. Too bad it was during such a hot week!

Paige was so excited to get back home and finish up her softball season. Unfortunately her playing time didn't last long as she took a ball to the face when she was pitching last Wed. Everyone on both teams was very upset and after 2 very caring nurses helped us determine how to handle her injury, we jetted Paige off to the ER. She only had a small crack in her orbital bone that we'll need to see a plastic surgeon next week about just to cover our bases. The ER doctor felt it will just heal on its own. Paige's friends have come over to visit which is so thoughtful.

Last night was our village's fireworks and parade. We're all a little lazy today, but Abby and Bryn are heading down to Summerfest tonight.
