Some beautiful weather
Yesterday we had some beautiful weather, and today looks to be the same. We decided to explore the area around where we hope to live. There is a lot of open countryside, most of it wooded. Mature oak trees are everywhere. (Oaks are my favorite trees.) There are lakes everywhere, too, and it was fun to drive by several of them and see all of the people out in their boats enjoying the beautiful weather. One of the things we did was to drive by the elementary school that, hopefully, Tristan will attend in the fall. It is a nice place and looks like it was built recently. Tristan is quite excited about going to school but I am not sure that his parents are prepared for this major life change 
On Wednesday last week, I attended Keegan’s 8th grade graduation ceremony. It was great to be there except that it was held in a gym without any air conditioning. Sitting two plus hours on a bench among a couple thousand hot, sweaty people is a challenge. Keegan is pretty sad to leave behind the friends he has made and we feel sorry for him. But he is a pretty gregarious person and we are certain he will make new friends at his new school. His Uncle Bryan picked him up after the graduation ceremony and Keegan stayed with him that night and Thursday, and then they left for fishing camp this weekend at Honey Rock in northern Wisconsin.
