July 20, 2013 Day eleven


This morning was a time of hanging out with Patti’s parents and doing some errands in Rochster MN. This included watching Harold ride his new bicycle.  This is certainly good exercise for him. Nice to just have some time together.

Then we drove about an hour down the road to Winona, MN to go to a basketball tournament played by another of our talented nieces, Anna.  As a student who just completed 9th grade, she plays on her high school varsity basketball team, and that team plays some tournaments during the summer.  They played three games, winning two of the three.  It was so fun to see her in action.  “Little Anna” is now 6 feet tall and a very skilled basketball player. 
Again, we love to hear about all of these kids when we talk with parents and grandparents, but much more fun to see them play in person.  Go Anna!  Her parents, Patti’s sister Paula and husband, Tom, have been juggling some crazy schedules trying to maintain family time at their Wisconsin lake cabin while getting their kids to tournaments and camps, etc.  We are thrilled that in our next stop at their cabin in a few days, all of them will be there.  Can’t wait to see all of the work they have done to continue to make this a great getaway spot.

 A drive back home, some of mom’s homemade apple crisp, and then to bed.  These are very full days.
