Stir-Up Days 2013

Small town living at it's finest...every year in Mid-July, our little village holds their annual "Stir-Up Days." Parades, smile contests, pancake feeds, ice cream socials...you name it. If it screams "small town", we offer it up! The highlight for me was running my first 5K after last October's ankle injury. Not a great time, but more than 3 minutes faster than I planned. Dayna was excited to help her 4-H club sell snow-cones. Dan had a ball joining the kid's bicycle races, and was excited to win first place in his heat. (You did know it's a race for kids, right, Dan? To his credit, another person in his heat was the father of one of Dayna's friends.) And Annie was just along for the ride and the fun.

She takes her job very seriously

Go Dan Go!

Takes skill to beat a kid
