We went to a St. Paul Saints game in early August, luckily it was a cool night:

Jamie and Joe loved it.  Jamie got a baseball!  (A ball-boy handed it to him.)

In mid-August, we spent a quiet and relaxing week at the cabin of Jim's two

brothers, Charlie and Jon.  The cabin is near Emily, Outing, and Cross Lake

and also near Eagle Lake
