Sum, Sum, Summertime

We had a Mieska Family Gathering at my sister Sue's

the last Saturday in July.  It was cool but a good time.

 This is the kind of picture I get when I ask Greg

to take a picture of me with my mom and siblings but

at least you get to see the play house, too, right?

 This is the kind of picture you get when you

try to capture 4 toddlers.

blurry...

 This is the kind of picture I take with a bunch of

kids and their great grandma.  Believe it or not

6 of the greats were missing for this picture but

it was a good group anyway.

4 of my grandchildren:  Everleigh, Briggs, Andrew & Ethan

4 of brother Steve's grandsons:  Luke, Owen, Jude and Owen

5 of sister Ann's grandchildren:  Claire, Max, Brody, Maverick and Mara

Mom is holding Maverick and Ethan

 Prizes were given out after the pictures for cooperation.

Bribery works!

 Greg and I spent a few days on the road on our bike.

My brother, Steve and his wife, Peggy joined us.

We made a big loop of LaCrosse, Tomah,

Eau Claire and other points of interest.  Not

a lot of distance but a lot of miles.  We stopped for

lunch here in Prescott.  Weather was great,  roads were

dry and company was fun.  Always good to get

a change of scene.
