July - September 2015

Between July and September, we kept busy as usual.  Jack started July with Cub Scout Adventure Camp, which included a few days and nights of fun and activities.  All of us drove out to visit Great-grandparents Bill and Sally, then we kept driving out to see Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower and the Black Hills.  On the way back, we stopped with Dad in Oshkosh at the EAA AirVenture.  About a month later, we traveled east to visit Kevin and Ruth and their family in Vermont.  We all did some camping during that trip.  At the end of September, all of us traveled up to Chicago to participate in the 5K on the runway at O'Hare airport; we got to run on the brand new runway (10R/28L)  before it opened for airplanes!
