| Julia (wearing pink) made some friends after church on Sunday |
 |
We went to Phil and Lisa Volk's
and learned about chickens and horses |
 |
| RJ was the first to swing on the boom cable |
 |
| Whee! |
 |
| He found something to climb, too |

Julia thought it was safer to just watch

Mystical Horizons north of Bottineau was built to demonstrate
the sun's location during the solstice and equinox.

We were here on June 21st, but didn't wait for the sun to set at 10:00 p.m.
because the kids were sleeping in the car |
This is what we saw on the way home
