Summer fun

July has been busy for us. We spent the 4th in Walker, taking in all the fun activities: parade, park, fireworks from the boat. On the 11th we had our annual summer party at the cabin, a hit as usual. I went back to the dentist and they aren't going to treat my tooth yet, I go back in 2 months. So for the next couple months I still have a crooked, loose tooth. Jeff said he'll still be seen with me. 

Ian has 2 more rides for his cycling merit badge. He has completed 2 ten mile, 2 15 mile, and a 25 mile ride. This weekend is one more 25 mile, then he finishes with a 50 mile during

 a campout at the end of the month. The trail he will be on was in the travel section last weekend: (Wisconsin's Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail)

He will be riding his new Trek bike that he picked out at Penn Cycle. Ian put his garage sale money in, and  his loving parents and Grandpa Jeff kicked in also. He loves riding it. He has also started his personal fitness merit badge...this kid will be in shape!

At camp Tesomas, Ian earned the canoeing and swimming merit badges. He is doing great in

 scouts!

Ian, Rowan and I spent the afternoon at Grandma Rosie's recently, and Ian learned all the

 secrets to making great chocolate chip cookies. Also, Ian got up on the water skiis this year!!!

Rowan got over a high fever, I think the cause was the many teeth poking through in his little mouth!

I'll wrap up with a few summer pictures!
