Greetings from Wiscousin!

I can now cross Wiscousin off the list. I have seen, I have conquered. Bob and Paula Windsor, dear friends and neighbors of the Minnesota Doughertys, invited us to join them for a Fourth of July spectacular. The morning would include foot races for people and for turtles. Awards would be presented for those who excelled, and fun would be had by all.

So, off we went, at 6:45am Wednesday morning. I know, ridiculously early for a holiday. At some point, I thought jokingly to myself, I wonder what state we are in now? Little did I know...


Finn gets some pointers on his 100 yard dash from Bob Windsor.

After completing her 2 mile run, Anne relaxes on the sideline with Finn and some Windsors. Finn was hoping he could get a tuxedo shirt like Jeff Windsor. His birthday is coming up!

The turtles relax after a tough day of racing. No, really! They raced!

Post race, the boys compare ribbons. There is video of them actually competing, but I haven't figured out how to upload that kind of stuff yet. I'm sure Anne or James will fill me in eventually.

The Doughertys gather for a family shot. Now, back to Minnesota! Andie and Connor will be arriving soon!
