| Walk Wisconsin |
On June 6th, along with over a thousand others, we participated in Walk
Wisconsin. (Don't you love our shirts?)
Walking along with us were mother-in-law Joyce and our
brother-in-law Mike.
We chose to do the quarter marathon or 6.5 miles.
It couldn't have been a more perfect day for a long walk.
Parts of the walk were on the Green Circle Trail and along
the river.
There were volunteers with water and snacks set up along the route as well as port-a-potties. Very well organized. Looking forward to doing it again!
The Annual Garden Parade on July 11th was beautiful and inspiring. We visited three of the gardens out of the dozen on the tour. I can't wait to learn all about the local plants and how to grow them.

It was so much fun taking the kids to this annual event in downtown Stevens Point on July 17th.
At noon, from the top of Bill's Pizza, ping pong balls start dropping to the street below.
All the kids scramble for them to win the prize written on the balls. The local merchants
all participate and it brings us into the stores for small treasures. There are sidewalk sales and kids wearing newspaper hats, eating ice-cream cones and popcorn.
