We would like to dedicate this leg of the blog to our teammate Kristen and her family. We pray that they can find some kind of normalcy in their lives after their tragic loss. Rest in peace Spc. Jon Menke.

Ice Skating at Hamilton Center

Ok, Ok, we are definitely not ice skating material!! The fact that we could actually get out of that rink was a plus for us!! We only had each other that night due to the other team being MIA.

The girls putting on ice skates. None of us were sure how this was going to turn out!

Thanks to Jeff Kuehl and the Arts Council for allowing us to be a part of Rock the Park!

Dirty Jobs-Bartholomew County Humane Society

We figured if we were going to a dirty job, then we should consider helping the regular volunteers at the Humane Society. The temperature was hovering in the 90's that day--not the most comfortable weather to walk dogs and scoop poop. It's a dirty job, but, somebody has to do it.

Rachel and Kristen walking Jude and Minke. Not all the dogs were so cooperative during th walks.

Scooping poop. These are pretty self-explanatory.

Not a great picture, but, Chesterfield is a chocolate lab who is also ready for adoption. Believe us, you will not find a more docile dog.

Minke is an awesome dog. He is a shephard mix and currently ready for adoption. We love Minke.

There are plenty of kittens available as well!!!

Bula lives at the Humane Society. She is 17 years old and can no longer hear.

The Bartholomew County Humane Society is in need of funding for their new facility. If you would like to donate please call 812-372-6063 or e-mail http://mjirwin@seidata.com/
