Brenden and Kyle Korzenowski in Ely

So after Camp - Brenden flies back to Minnesota and spends the weekend with his uncle Kyle Korzenowski and his friend Wendell to go fishing in Ely.

Brenden sent me this photo of Fall Lake in Ely taken when he arrived up there.

This is the prize for going fishing in Ely - a 24 lb Northern.
It bit Wendell when he tried to get it in the boat. They never did get it in the boat.

Brenden at Camp Coniston

Brenden actually got to work at Camp Coniston this summer - if only for a week.

He worked in between his internship in Iowa and starting his new job at CHS in St. Paul.

North End Festivals!

There are religious festivals every weekend in July and August in the North End of Boston. We always try to get down for a few as they are really fun. They have a parade where they hall around statues and people pin dollar bills on the ribbons. We took Parker to one back at the end of July.

This band kept marching around with the lady in the wheel chair following it.

Parker found the car he wants. We kept telling people to get away from our car.

Parker and Judy after pinning dollar bills on the ribbons.

This is what it looks like in the streets. If you ever visit us in the summer - we will take you there.

Good Harbor Beach!

While Brenden was home - he was visited by his roommate from college, Joel's girlfriend, Chelsea. She lives in New York City. She brought along a friend, Kim who also went to the U of M. We met them at our favorite beach - Good Harbor Beach in Gloucester. It was nice and warm and the waves were great for boogie boarding - which I was able to do - even with my sore ankle.

Good Harbor Beach - the island in the background is called Salt Island and you walk out to it when the tide is low.

Jon, Brenden, Judy and Parker

Kim, Brenden & Chelsea. You can tell Kim is not a native New Englander as she did not pack a swim suit.

The girls enjoying the warm weather!

Judy and Kyle in his dorm room. Judy loved Purdue as they had a Dairy Queen on campus.

There were quite a few rather large frats on campus. Brenden visited the SAE house.
One of them had a giant slip and slide - where 10 people could go at once. Judy wanted to stop and join the party.

Camp Coniston this Summer!

Finally getting around to posting pictures from this summer. The following are photos of the kids at camp. Kyle worked there as a counselor all summer, Parker attended the fourth session for two weeks as a camper and Brenden got asked to work a week while he was out back east.

The first time this year that all 3 of the boys have been together. We fionally got a family photo taken. (Dairy Queen better pay us for the endorsement.)

All three hate to leave the camp.
