Matt and Wendy attended a two day conference to aid with Zach’s mobility. This morning Zach was given a three wheel bike to use. We never know what his reaction will be to something new. Zach loved it and got it going with little or no effort. The challenge for him was learning how to steer and he bumped into tables and things but kept right on going. What a big step for our little guy! The picture came from Matt’s cell phone and is a tad blurry, but you can see how much he is enjoying the ride.
The 22nd of June we said good-bye to Duaine’s Mom, Dad, sister, and brother. I took a quick photo of the crew and we were off to Jamestown, ND for our annual visit with one of our customers. From Jamestown, we headed to Spirit Lake for a night on Lake Okoboji. Our next stay will be for more than one night. Beautiful country side in what is known as the Iowa Great Lakes Area.

We took Grandpa Vic and Grandma Mabel to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of loved ones. Then on the weekend, we had grandkids around for Ewing’s Summer FunFest. Will post a few pictures of the activities.
