The time has gotten away from me so this is more of an update than an embedded report. But the middle of June arrived they way we knew it would, a mix of lacrosse, basketball, golf, banquets, and part time jobs. Ella and Sophia are both back in town so we catch glimpses of them. Ella is waiting for her job to start and Grace is waiting to get certified for lifeguarding. Merrick and Sophia are putting in plenty of hours on the pool deck waiting for the college kids to return and new workers like Grace to get certified. Grace finished up her Bball traveling team / tournaments in Waukesha and won Offensive Rookie of the year for her LaCrosse team. They made it to the third round of the playoffs and had to travel to Verona with essentially just their JV team. The game even got statewide newspaper coverage due to some organizational politics, scheduling snafus no seniors could make the game. Tough loss but the girls took it with smiles. Grace also marched in the Memorial day parade and Amy and I rode our bikes to watch her play. She got some extra mileage walking towards home until we caught up with her on the bikes. Ultimately her and Amy walked while I hoofed it back on the bike to get the truck and some cool drinks. Ella and Grace both played in the alumni LaCrosse game, with a kid on each side of the field we still could just cheer for #22!
