Ben tries out his new day setting

Today Ben, Wendy, Ben's friend and I visited Ben's new setting.  He will be spending his days at MARC-South, and the people here are wonderful!  He did a great job on the bus...more pics to follow...

The new driveway!

Okay, so the new driveway is in, but there are rules...
No parking on it for a week
No turning the wheels without the car moving on it
No looking at it funny
No jumping up and down on it

(just kidding about the last two)

But be sure to come over and see it soon!

Fun in Laona

There's always lots to do in Laona.  Here are a few examples...

The wild wolf river

The kids and I stopped at the Wolf river on the way home today.  We have driven by many times, but today decided to get out and touch it!

Girls reunited...mini road trip

While the boys made their way up to Laona after the great driveway event, I met Becky after her ferry ride,

retrieved Kristin from her senior trip in Green Lake,

and was immediately abandoned by both as they wanted to ride together...FINE!!

I found a place to hike on the way up North...so there!

New driveway!

We have gone back and forth for years about whether or not to get our driveway blacktopped, and after this 21st year of Frank having to rake gravel out of the grass he decided it was time.  I don't know who was more excited...Frank, or our little neighbor Leo, but everyone enjoyed the show!

Senior skip day

I think it's great to get invited to your kid's senior skip day...Kristin took a friend and a picnic lunch to Devil's lake and invited me for a part of the day...thanks Kristin!
