Vacation
While Andy and Laura are at Camp Hohn for the evening and John is helping to clean out the Scout trailers for camp, I am looking for either a VRBO or Airbnb for a short vacation to Michigan and also a condo at Copper Mountain Ski Resort in Colorado. There are definitely some good options out there.

Refrigerator
I found myself staring at the front of the refrigerator this evening. I know that seems odd, but it really tells a story. The kids’ birth announcements, our yearly Christmas card, a picture of Andy with Grandpa Blume, and the kids at a football game are on the left side of the refrigerator. The rest of the refrigerator is covered in magnets from the various places that we have visited. It makes me smile and I love the memories. It is our story.

Hickman Summer Ball
It is the last night of Hickman Summer Baseball. John’s first year on the Hickman High School baseball team officially comes to a close.

Diving Board
The kid loves going off the diving board.

Criterium at the Columns
We spent the day watching the Criterium at the Columns cycling races.

Andy and Laura served as corner marshals for most of the day.

I spent the day hanging out with good bike friends at the Hawaiian shirt cheering station. We had great food, good drinks, and cheered on the riders.

I think that Andy won the day though. He got to ride in the pace car for one of the races!

It was a fun day, and I am already looking forward to next year!
Sister Act
Andy is not a fan of musicals, but he took one for the Kassel team tonight! We went with the Fues Family to see “Sister Act” at Columbia Entertainment Company. Two of the four Kassels thought the musical was great. I will call that a win.
