July 2008 - Binning-Condon 2nd annual

In July, the Condons and Binnings came together for the 2nd annual get-together at Scott & Jenny's cottage in Wisconsin Rapids. Jaden and Lily ran around like crazy, Reece tried to keep up, and Jacintha watch the show. The wind might have kept us out of the lake, but it didn't keep us off the lake, with Scott tooling us around in the pontoon. Dad cleaned out the horseshoe pit and Randy set up the croquet and the yard games were in play. Marilyn brought her famous chocolate-cherry cake for us to celebrate Randy's birthday. Check out some photos from the weekend below.

June 2008 - Graduation Day!!

At long last, the day we've been waiting for since the day he began 2 years ago. Josh now has his Masters in Social Work. Who's happier? Josh or Kari? The feelings mutual, i'm sure. This day marked all the hard work Josh put in, all the days at the library, and all the times he had to say no to friends and family. This day also recognized the pride we feel for him and relief we all feel that it is now over. Definitely a day to celebrate!

He's certified, Ladies & Gentlemen

Josh's Graduating Class of Social Workers

Future Social Worker?

Happy! Happy! Happy!

What better way to celebrate than with a pinata? Let out all those built up frustrations and put them behind you because school's out FOREVER!

June 2008 - Camping

Here are some photos from the Annual Lang Camp-out. This year it was at William-O'Brian State Park near the St. Croix river. Josh had class so had to miss it this year, Kari & Jacintha made it out for the day, and Lilian got to stay over with her grandparents & cousins. She came home with lots of campfire stories- swimming, s'mores, flashlights and ice cream were the main topics.

June 2008 - Father's day

We celebrated Father's Day with a bike ride to Lake Nokomis. It was Jacintha's first time in the trailer and she did pretty good. We brought a picnic and the frisbee and enjoyed the beautiful summer day. It was our official kick-off for summer. Now if only we can make it through the next couple weeks until Josh graduates...
