One Last Hoorah

Today is my last day of summer vacation. So this morning we headed downtown again for one last day of State Street shopping, feeding the ducks and of course ice cream at the terrace.

We had a GREAT summer.

Van Groll Fest III

We had a really great time with the whole Van Groll Family at our uncle and aunt's cabin this weekend. We fished, swam, camp-fired, golfed and some of the adults even made it to a few "up-north" bars to watch a Brewer game. Thanks to everyone for great company, food and fun. (I have way too many great pictures to post, but here are a few).

Annual Summer Trip to Campus

This morning we headed downtown to see some of my favorite sites on campus. However, since the kids are getting older there is more negotiating and compromising on the sites we go to. We started at Tenney Park for a little time with the ducks and swinging. Then we headed to some more sites, one of which was Camp Randall. We watched some Badger football practice and Ben wanted to discuss an early "letter of intent" to become a Badger with Barry Alvarez. He wasn't real receptive. We then ended up at Ian's Pizza for lunch. I can't believe how tolerant my children are of such a strange mom who stills loves campus-time.
