Flush with excitement!

 Luxury!

In the Temple of the Toilet Gods at the Kohler Design Center. 

 Everyone enjoyed visiting the mock bathrooms and playing with the showers and tubs.

 We wish our kitchen looked like this....

Life imitates art.

Love and laughter

Don't go chasing waterfalls

 We have the greatest fortune to bump into fun little places as we travel about.

 This one is a neat little waterfall in Montello, WI that we happened to pass on our way to a flea market in Adams.   It was the perfect leg stretching place for us.

Pickles!

 Aged seven weeks!

Harley Part 2

Our return trip to the Harley Museum took us into the mysterious world of experimental motorcycles!

Catch me if you can!

The future is now!

We had a great time on ACT 9.  Every member of our family made new friends and cemented older friendships as well.  All this while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a good cause.

We are already gearing up for ACT 10!

 We put a lot of love into all the food we made for ACT 9.  Our small crew, augmented by many day crew members, made bread, sauce, calzones, meatballs, mac &cheese, BBQ chicken, BBQ Tofu, strata, pancakes, egg&cheese biscuits, and so much more.   I am super proud of all my foodies!

Other Ride Traditions: ACT 9

 Over the years many little traditions have popped up in the ACT community, like body painting and temporary tattoos...

 Here, Cody marks up the street with informational and inspirational messages for the riders....

And Thom gets his nails painted red for Day 4, thanks to Alyssa.
