Mid Summer Excerpts

We have hit our mid summer stride and have been able to steal some time away from sports to get some fun excursions in. Here are a couple of recent highlights.

Mom and Presley participated in packing 1,500 pounds of cereal for Second Harvest which distributes foods to local food shelves. We were connected to Second Harvest through our participation in National Charity League. Made my day when Presley said, "This would be fun to do for a party".



The summer of the "ENO". Presley and her friends have become obsessed with "mocking". Presley bought this ENO hammock with her refereeing money and now explores new spots to hang her ENO. This has been especially fun for her to bring to Canyon's baseball games.



Mom and Dad enjoyed our annual trip to the Basilica Block Party. This year, we saw American Authors and Death Cab for Cutie. After 17 years, this is still one of annual highlights. Great night in the new VIP Fan section.




On a rare Sunday with no activities, Mom, Presley and Canyon enjoyed a 9 mile bike ride from Minnehaha Falls to Fort Snelling. Along the way we stopped by the Minnehaha Depot and a monument dedicated to imprisoned indians that lost their lives during the US-Dakota War. This was also the day that the kids discovered Pokemon Go. Unfortunately, we missed Dad who was home sick that day.
