Hiking Blue Hill!

A couple of weeks ago Parker wanted to go hiking. Where this came from - I do not know. So I said sure - let's try Blue Hill just outside of Boston.

This is the tower at the top of the hill. That's Parker waving at me.

This is the view of downtown Boston from the tower.

They even have a ski hill with chair lift. Parker thought it woudl be fun to try it out.
We plan on going back once the leaves start turning.

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.

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!
