Last day of school

Jacob and Claire - Riding bikes to their last day of 7th grade!

A couple days after school ended, we celebrated with a schoolwork burning party at the Wahlquists

Crop Division managers meeting

Jared went to his first Crop Managers meeting at a golf resort in Florida called "Streamsong." One of the highlights - the gorgeous sunsets!!!

Another highlight - the alligators!

It's been a long time since Jared has played that much golf - 3 times in 3 days! But that's what the managers like to do, so Jared joined in.

Yes, there were meetings in the morning and dinners at night - but those pictures weren't as beautiful as the picturesque golf course!

 

New Trampoline

We left our old trampoline in Oregon, so we decided to spring for a nice, giant, spring free trampoline!

It was a major wrestling match to put it together!!! It is really, really big too.

and the kids love playing on it. They are out there constantly playing gaga ball and other games.

 

Activities around home

Sunday walks to Pioneer Park

Family bike ride to Walker Bros for ice cream

Bike rides

bike rides

and more bike rides! Basically all on the Loveland Bike Trail.

 

Office with a view

Jared works at the Great American Tower on the 26th floor. His team has a great view, and he can see a lot of the ballpark and field. Day games are fun - sometimes there are fireworks when the Reds hit a HR or win the game.

Sometimes there are other sounds... on occasion, cars or trucks will crash, sending everyone to the windows to spectate!

 

KI Days

One of the Christmas gifts we gave the kids was KI passes, and we've been putting them to use, even before the summer begins.

We had a fun KI day with Sarah and Eric Brown

Jared is now known for "encouraging" the Browns to ride rides they normally would not!

It is also fun to run up to KI in the evening after work. A cool cloudy evening means shorter crowds.

We are getting the little 3 onto some of the bigger rides for them

 

Celebrating together

Special events like birthdays and holidays in Cincinnati mean that we get to celebrate together! 

It is special to be just down the road - it also means that whenever any family comes from out of town, we get to see them!

Cincinnati weather

We have some of the most beautiful sunrises!

And sometimes it rains TORRENTIALLY!!!
