We had a lovely trip to Milwaukee with the Kennys this last weekend. The weather was absolutely stunning and unseasonably warm, in the mid 70s. The wings opening on the art museum were a big hit. Readers who are making wedding plans may be interested in the location for photos–…

Despite being chosen for the team as an alternate, miles did awesome in his first city meet on the newberry team.  Over a one mile course he came in 21 out of 100.  Awesome job!

We went bowling last weekend and John was really on fire. Kennymen sports success continued this week when Miles became a member of his school cross country team! yay Miles! Practice starts next week.

We cycled down from north avenue beach to northerly island, enjoying the views of the city at night, always a pleasure.

Liam took a four day trapeze class at summer camp this week. On Friday they put on a performance, here it is, pretty impressive! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHcrt0UNKjs]

Along the mickelson trail, we stopped for lunch on our first day at the moonshine gulch

Driving back from black hills and the highlight of our trip was definitely cycling over 60 miles of a converted train line for bikes thru the northern black hills over three days.  Lots of great bridges, tunnels and great views

Not a reflection on these two… but we’re eating out on our last night in hill city at desperados cowboy restaurant. Note the hand hewn logs on the wall by john (oldest hand hewn log construction in south dakota!), blue tinted wood in seat back, due to mountain pine beetle…

Day 2 of the mickelsn trail, all smiles because the terrain has turned downhill for the 9 miles into hill city.
