Earlier this month Eric's aunt and uncle, Mary and Wendall, traveled up from Barron, WI on their way to Alaska. We golfed, toured campus, and ate supper at a great outdoor restaurant downtown near the river. This past week, my parents and sister made the 18 hr. trek up here & spent the week relaxing, visiting, and checking out the city.

| Hail storm. We've had 3 hail storms since we've moved here. We got pretty excited about this size hail.....get a picture! But then...... |
 |
| it got a bit larger... |
 |
| Then even larger....at this point we were very thankful to be indoors & have our car and mom & dad's car in the garage! |
 |
| It added some excitement to our evening. |

| Frisbee at the park. Hadn't done that in years! |

| The bridge behind us is pedestrian-only and has a beautiful view of the river and city. |

During the week we had a good mix of eating out for lunch, one night out for dinner, and a few grilling nights. Eric worked during most days, but the rest of us shopped a bit downtown & the Broadway area's unique shops. We relaxed in the mornings, took walks, and watched a few movies in the evenings. Oh----& we saw a jack rabbit in the park right by our place! Wow, that thing really was something...huge & fast. Mom, Dad, & Chels----thank you for coming to see our new place & spent the week with us!
You left out the part about them smuggling illegal beer into the country for you. The first picture tells that story by itself.
