On Wisconsin

Last weekend, Cayce and I went to Madison, Wisconsin. Cayce had never visited Madison and I wanted her to experience real football weather.

We saw my old house and the view of the stadium from it.






Saturday morning, we went on a jog along the Menona Lake Trail. It was awesome!





The view from Picnic Point (1/2 way through the run)









The Wisconsin Student Union Terrace.






Following a Heisman Winner. Ron Dayne walked down the hill to the stadium with us.

Wisconsin played Ohio State and lost. #2 is true freshman QB Terrelle Prior who is going to be a stud.

No Wisconsin football game is complete without Jump Around in the student section!

The capitol building on Sunday morning.












We had a great time in Madison. We stayed with my friends Bart and Suzy and we were able to meet up with great old friends. The weather for the game was in the mid 40s and it was perfect. On Sunday, we were able to go to the new Blackhawk church building (this is the church that Jason attended in grad school and where the friends who helped lead him to Christ still attend). They just built a huge new building on the west side of Madison and we heard a great message!

Mad-town is a great place and if you ever want to go to a game up there, let Jason know and he will try to meet you!

Jeff and Elena's Wedding

We went for a trail run the first morning in Phoenix. It was a beautiful morning, but as usual, Jason got us lost. We were trying to find a road that did not exist. It was a beautiful, although stressful and hot, run. We made it back in time for Jason to shower quick and head out, still sweating, in his tux.

The wedding ceremony was neat. All the music was performed by a mariachi band. The ceremony was in a beautiful missionary-style church.

The set up of the reception was amazing. There were huge flower arrangements on the tables and a great band. We spent most of the night on the dance floor and Jason had some great laughs with old friends.

The Bride and the Groom...looking Dapper.

For those that do not know, Jeff and Jason were classmates, fellow troublemakers, and most of all great, great friends in college. Elena has made him a better man.

The Boys. Tim, Jeff and I were trouble in college and some slight resemblance of those old days peeked out during the weekend.

Sunday morning we decided to hike to the summit of Squaw Peak in North Phoenix. It was another beautiful morning. We saw huge, movie-like, cactus everywhere. It was a great hike and there were alot of people on the trail.

At the summit of Squaw Peak. The hike was 1.25 miles to an elevation of 2,608 feet.

Phoenix was awesome and we can see why so many people want to live there. If only it was 30 degrees cooler in the summer, we might consider it.
