It’s fair to say that the portion of the team staying at Andes Hill Ski condo enjoys slow mornings and quiet time. Tracie, Lea, Alex, and I all went into Alexandria to get groceries, work on project organization, and do laundry. Ashley enjoyed a peaceful day at the condo finishing up a paper for a study abroad trip she took earlier in the summer.
I took part of my afternoon and went for a hike at Carlos Lake State Park just north of Alexandria. The park is located on Carlos Lake and has both old-growth hardwood forest and restored prairie.

In the evening, I drove to Starbuck to play with the Morris Community Band in a parade.

Then Ashley, Lea, Alex, Tracie, and I met up in Alexandria to try out Copper Trail Brewery.

Happy 4th of July weekend!
