Today was the first day of my parent’s rotation. After saying goodbye to Mr. Grayson, we headed out with a new addition to our bike group, my sister Anna.
In the morning, we biked 40 miles of beautiful Wisconsin terrain while teaching my sister the intricacies of Harry Potter 20 questions. We had snack in Connersville where the Van Woerts caught up to us again. The afternoon ride was absolutely gorgeous. My sister Lindsay, while bored stiff in the car, decided to take pictures of all the different telephone poles.
About mid-way to lunch, Ellie took her second tumble of the week. Luckily, this one was not nearly as bad.
When we finally got to the United Methodist Church in Holcombe, Karen and a few other very nice people already had dinner ready and we had a delicious meal of scalloped potatoes, baked beans, salad, and to our surprise, CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE! Chocolate Cherry cake is one of Mrs. Coogan’s specialties. It is a tradition on the Alpine ski team at St. Paul’s at every race. Both Ellie and I were very excited about this cake.
After dinner, Ellie and Sarah showered in the hose outside of the church while the rest of us went down to the river. At least a little cleaner than we arrived, we came back to the church to enjoy a night of movies. But first “the camera lady” from the local newspaper came to interview us and take our picture.
Now we are sitting in the church watching Ten Things I Hate About You. And we couldn’t be happier!
