Things are finally starting to slow down a little, so maybe I can keep up on posting. We ended June by travelling to South Dakota for family camp. The week before we left Tim got an interview for an assistant principal job. His callback interview ended up being the Thursday before camp started. SO Madison and I made the drive out to South Dakota and Tim flew out to meet us. It was a VERY long drive but worth it because Tim got the job!!! He is now the assistant principal of Stout Field Elementary!! WOOHOO TIM!!!!

On our trip we were able to stop and stay at Amy and Chris' in Wisconsin. Then we drove to the Grandpa and Grandma Wickards in Mina and were able to visit with Aunt Sandy, Carrie and the kids. We decided that everyone would hike to the top of Harney Peak. Aunt Hannah carried Maddie up in her pack and the whole way down!! She would not have made it if it was up to me... I could barely make it myself =) Camp went well and afterwards we celebrated the 4th of July in Aberdeen. Tim played A LOT of golf and Maddie had fun hanging out with everyone and watching the fireworks. We were sad to leave, but got a chance to see Rob, Amanda, Zach and Eli when we stopped in Wisconsin on the way home. We were only there for one night, but it was lots of fun to see everyone.

Tim is back to work and Maddie and I are enjoying our last few weeks of summer before its back to kindergarten and the babysitter during the day.
