Not sure where Donna finds these funny shirts,
but these arrived for Bob's birthday! Thanks, Donna.
Went up to our camper on Lake Metigoshe
on Friday, and headed to Bottineau
for Crazy Days on Saturday. There are several
murals around town, painted by local artists.
Tom, Jett, Caiden, and Annika's ski team
won the Division 2 Regional tournament last week,
and this weekend won the National Championship!!!!
Tom is holding the trophy; Jett and Caiden are
to his right; Annika is in the circle up front!
Wow! What an accomplishment!
Congratulations, Tom and kids!
You are awesome! XO :-)
Tommy Turtle Park in Bottineau
to see the new pickleball courts.
Tommy Turtle in the background...
The city had two tennis courts but resurfaced
and made four pickleball courts from one
of the tennis courts. The tennis court is the
furthest one back.
Twenty two members of the pickleball club
showed up to test the new courts in town.
Bob is in the blue shirt on the far side of the court.
We have been working on the "Rugby house"
and had our first garbage pickup on the 17th.
The truck driver probably thought I was
a bit crazy taking movies. Tee hee.
August 23rd, First day of school in Iowa.
Trina and her friend Hannah celebrate
while their kids don't look so joyful!
Ariana started college at Loras
College in Dubuque this week.
She is a sophomore.
Jett is a Junior and Caiden a Sophomore
at Alburnett high school.
Annika is an eighth grader at St. Joseph's.
Doesn't she look soooo excited. :-)
Andrew is a senior homeschooling through
Seton Academy. Matthew is a freshman
at Killdeer high school. Grace is in 7th grade
at Killdeer middle school, and Luke is
in third grade at the elementary school.
Mary Kate and George are playing. LOL
Went to Medora this weekend and tried to find
the petrified forest. Bob made the two-mile walk
down through the trees. I made it one mile, found
a shade tree, and waited for him to come back.
On Friday we went to the Teddy
Roosevelt show--a great history
lesson by Joe Weigand who must
have a photographic memory. Later,
we had steak fondue and went to the
Musical in the Amphitheater.
Saturday morning we enjoyed "Legendary,"
a performance for the kids written and
portrayed by two of the musical singers.
Then we drove to Jimmy and Kelly's
to see the kids and give Bob his "harvest fix"
while he rode in the combine with Jimmy.
Did you know that there's a monster
at the end of this book? Mary Kate and
George weren't surprised!
was it "Hello, Kitty"?
We took a different route back home,
and crossed Lake Sakakawea on the New Town bridge.
Stopped in Minot to see "Oppenheimer"
before driving back to the farm.
On the 28th, RJ and Julia went
back to school. Sara said Julia got up
early to make the sign!
