We have been enjoying these summer days with friends. Our kids have had their friends from Wausau since last Wednesday. They have spent their time riding bike, going to skatepark, jumping on the trampoline and just being kids. Nolan who is eight years old, has been convinced to play tea party with our girls, so we have had a few days with that. Saturday we made the 45 mile trek to a Mirror Shadow Lake park in Waupaca. It is an awesome park with a high dive, and slides off rafts. It brought back memories, as the last time we were there was with Dale's cousin, Rick Killiam, who died a year ago at this time. Yesterday we had a lunch invitation in Lacrosse, which is over two hours from here, so we headed out early to go part way before meeting. We had a wonderful afternoon with Joyce and Doris and the Steins. After our day, we climbed Grandad's Bluff for a gorgeous view of Lacrosse and the mighty Mississippi at sunset. We were a little early to get the most beautiful pictures, but our time up there was cut short when Beau knocked his head into the corner of a metal sign started bleeding profusely. Such in life in a large family.
