A Walk to Remember

While Randy was on his elk hunt (see previous post), the boys and I spent the week in Cando, ND with Grandpa Greg (or Dreg as Bennett calls him) and Grandma Bev. My mom picked us up in Jamestown and we headed north. The boys had fun spending some quality time with Grandpa and Grandma. We also took lots of walk/ bike rides around town. At the end of October my mom and dad will be retiring from their jobs and moving away from the town they have called home for over 35 years! I thought it would be a nice memory to take a walk with Blake and Bennett around town and capture, through photos, some places that were special to me growing up in Cando. There were lots of great memories in the house that I grew up in and the town that I called home. Now "home" will be where my family is and where new memories will be made.

A photo of Blake and Bennett in front the school where I attended elementary, middle and high school. Back then it was called Cando High School instead of Northstar. Go Cubs!

A picture of the boys on the Cando Stage Line at the city park just a block from my house, equipment that was there when I was a kid.

The pool, also just a block from my house. Spent many summer hours splashing away at this place!

The track/football field where I ran lap after lap and watched high school football games!

The Cando sign at the 4 corners. Also in the background is the Dairy Queen where I worked for 6 years in high school!

A final photo of Blake and Bennett on the front steps of the house I lived in growing up. Jessi and I would play Barbies on these steps for hours! I am going to miss this place!
