The Kassel Family Project Life 365

The kids left at 6:20 am for Hickman High School.

It is time for Marching Band camp!

If you see this guy today, make sure to say, “Happy Birthday!” He is a great dad and husband, and he deserves a day of relaxation and fun. Happy Birthday, Andy! The kids and I love you to the moon and back!

I completed two projects that were on my list today. First, I made another 12 bottles of Vanilla Extract. This means that I have 24 bottles ready to give as gifts when Christmastime arrives.

Then, I added more pictures to our Missouri map. This map is the story of our adventures in Missouri. I spent a while looking at the pictures as I was adding the new ones. These are all memories that I do not want to forget.

“Project Saturday” is complete.

It was uniform fitting time for Hickman High School Marching Band. Laura’s old uniform fit perfectly, but John needed new pants. Marching band camp starts on Monday!

After a short stop at Portillo’s in Indianapolis to meet my old Director for lunch, we headed for home. We arrived safely about 7 pm, and we spent the rest of the evening unpacking and relaxing. It was a great vacation, and I am so glad that we finally took the kids to the beach.

We took Laura for a college visit at Purdue University today.

She loved it! I think we have a future Boilermaker in the Kassel Family.

Chase those dreams, Kid! Now, it is time to begin the application process.

We visited a couple of the Indiana sand dunes today.

We took short hikes to the sand dunes and then eventually picked a beach for the afternoon.

We spent the afternoon enjoying the beach. Laura requested that I take a few pictures of her, and this is my favorite.

It was a great afternoon, and we were all sad to leave. We spent the evening enjoying dinner at the Airbnb and time by the fire pit.

We leave Michigan City tomorrow, but we will definitely be back. It was such a great time!
