41

It was a hot day today. Instead of the bowling they went to Cross Plains. The center in Cross Plains is in the basement of St. Martin's Lutheran Church. It is normally a nicer and cooler location than the Green Room, which is an upper floor.

On Sunday, I got a call from my cousin Jed from Stacy, MN (it is just outside the Twin Cities). His son is attending UW-Madison this Fall. He said that him and his wife Vicki would be in Madison on Wednesday night. The orientation for students started this morning and went until 9:30PM. The orientation for adults ended at 6:30PM. The orientation was at Union South, but that student center basically shuts down in the evening. I picked them up and we went to the Memorial Union. They were quite amazed by Madison and everything that is happening on a random Wednesday night in the summer.

Regardless, I got a few pictures of Kai. Kai likes showing other people around.

looking for ducks

While looking for ducks, there were some younger women that were feeding the ducks green grapes. Grapes are healthier for ducks than bread (I read that somewhere). They let Kai throw out some grapes to the ducks.

Here Kai is sitting in the big sunburst chair. 

this is a classic Kai move

I guess you never know when someone will swoop back into your life. The last time I had seen my cousin was at his wedding. I think it was 2010 or 2011, something like that. Vicki (the wife) said the date was January 2, and the high temp that day was -20.
