Roy and Phyllis Bardole left June 12th to babysit grandchildren in Wauwatosa, WI while Allison was training in New Jersey. We kept the home fires burning while Jason traveled to Maquoketa, IA for Husco Intl. There were baseball games, trips to the playground, and lots of extra kids in the backyard. Chase’s collarbone is healing. We had to watch him. He is pretty active.
Allison returned Thursday night in time to see part of Levi’s game. Friday, Allison had ordered a new refrigerator for Jason for Father’s Day. It was delivered while they were all on a bike ride. We took care of it, and he was really surprised and delighted when they returned.
Saturday, Roy and Phyllis drove up to Sturgeon Bay to stay in a condo for a couple days. Lots of rain getting there, but Sunday was a beautiful day. We drove along the south side of Door County stopping along the way to get to the lake. Ate dinner at a nice cafe and then traveled up to see the ferry load cars and people over to Washington Island. It was too late in the day to make the trip. We headed back to Sturgeon Bay on the north side along the lake. It was a very enjoyable day. We sat out along the bay when we got back and watched a storm come in. It rained really hard in the night, but didn’t wake us. Monday morning we headed for home. We had planned to stay another night in Iowa, but decided to drive on home. We drove south from Hwy 20 to escape a heavy rain along Interstate 35. We did have some heavy rain to drive in but the worst was when we turned onto our road. Got an inch and one half in that little stretch! Then got more in the night so we have just under 6 inches. There are lots of ponds.
Jason, Allison, Levi, Kate, and Chase were back in Iowa over Memorial Day weekend. It was pretty busy here with dinners at church, but we still had fun. Got our yearly picture of all the family taken. Missed it last year.
