Massive Onslaught of Pics

Okay, okay, June has obviously been a Very Bad Month for Blog Posts, at least as authored by me.  Time to get caught up.  I'll start with the trip we took almost a month ago to Toronto.  Here we go!

We stopped by the Canadian Falls on our way up.

Ben's fave exhibit at the OSC -- google "George Rhoads" to find out more.

Back home again, a family outing to Big Dipper

The next batch are from our more recent trip to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where we celebrated my parents' 50th Anniversary in true high-octane Wilson style by watching the June Sprints at Road America.  We stayed at a really nice house (Crystal Lake Lodge -- we highly recommend it!) just a few miles from the track, and we could hear the engines roar even as we made s'mores in the firepit and cooled down in the pool.

Tired after our 10+ hour drive, and more than ready for some s'mores!

Triple celebration -- and crazy cake!

Ben's Life

[This blog post is being dictated by Ben.]

I am Ben.  Ben I am.  I have blog pictures to show you.  One is me and Jannis.  Two is me, and three I'm coming up with back in Hunter a picture of New York City that I made with Grandma.  Now, four I say is me on Uncle Fred's rock.  But it was a strange rock because it was moss-covered and magic.  The end.

Now, let's find some sort of way to get it with those pictures on my blog.

Here are some new pictures from Toronto.

This is Daddy and me at Niagara Falls.
