Swing into Summer!

 We've been busy pet sitting for our friends and neighbors this past weekend.  They have a great setup with a dog door to their indoor kennel.



From there we went to the state park for the first of several graduation parties this weekend.

 At the graduation we heard about Bubblesfest down in Green Island.

Bubblesfest is a 40th birthday party for the gal who runs the little road house down in the Jackson County low country.


There was a great cast of characters who traveled down stream to have some fun.

 We set up a canoe, kayak  float trip for early July down the maquoketa with Scott and his tribe.  Let me know if you want in on the fun.

 Several bands kept the fun rolling.
Then it was off to the Bellevue Braves championship game of the Louie Jess Tournament.

 Most of us were on the edge of our seats as the Braves made a great come from behind effort.

But alas, there was no joy in Mudville... as the Braves came up a run short, leaving two men stranded in the bottom of the 9th.



Friday was my last day at school and summer is in full swing.
