News from the Jacobs family in Saudi Arabia
Each year the local fur trading camp historical site puts on a 3-day re-enactment of the fur trading days along the Yellow River. It is only a mile from our house as the crow flies so we make it a point to attend each year. This year the Post family joined us. Enjoy the pictures.
Nora gets her first pair of glasses, biking on the Gandy Dancer trai and more fun on the lake. Check out the website for fresh family pictures.
Recently the Burnett County Airport in Siren help a fly in air show. There were several vintage military planes as well as personal aircraft and firetrucks. The most interesting thing (at least for Kai)? The abundant grasshoppers on the grass fields.
A few random summer images…
We recently did an overnight visit to Canal Park up in Duluth. The weather was warm, the lake was cold and we all had fun.
The day after we arrived we scheduled delivery of our new Pontoon. The nice folks from Hayward Marine showed up right on time (though so did the thunderstorms). We got the run down on the boat operations in heavy rains though they cleared enough later for a nice ride. We’ve been out daily since.
Each year Spooner, Wisconsin hosts a major Rodeo that kicks off with a parade. Since it is in early July it is hit and miss whether we are back in the US for it but this time we made it. The weather could not have been better and it was a fine parade. It was great spending time with Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art but the highlight for the kids was certainly the tradition of throwing candy from the parade. They each walked away with a few pounds!
Summer vacation is almost here. It will be nice to get out of the heat a little bit and get back to Wisconsin! Here are some final pictures of the last couple of weeks of school.
Here are some pictures from the recent Cub Scout crossover ceremony. Scouts get promoted to their next rank group and put some closure on the year of scouting.
We held Kai’s birthday party a couple weeks ago because some of his friends were already starting to depart for the summer. I spent the last week in San Diego with lots of big plans about getting pictures posted in my free time outside the conference. That didn’t happen so much but, on the way home, I did get some pictures posted of Kai’s birthday party. Enjoy!
